No matter what your ranking is, or how many girls are in your sorority, every chapter has great girls involved. That being said, every year on every campus one can find a few sororities that every girl wants to join. These are the girls with the highest GPAs, strongest sisterhoods, highest fundraising goals, and overall best chapters around. These are the chapters with girls who will set the standards for Greek life at their universities. Here's a list of 10 of these chapters…... Read more

For well over 100 years cultural interest sororities have strengthened the sisterhood between girls from all different ethnic backgrounds. These are some of the most open and accepting Greek organizations found on our campuses. Let’s take a look at ten of the best of the cultural sororities across our great nation.... Read more

PNMs are constantly looking for ways to learn more about the sororities at their school, long before they actually begin the rush process. One of the most fun ways to do “research” on sororities is by checking out their tumblr pages. Sure- they don’t actually provide you with much information about the sorority , but they are cute and fun and definitely glamorous. However PNMS aren’t the only ones who love sorority tumblrs, sorority girls themselves love the feeling of being featured on their chapter’s page!... Read more

Ah, sorority rush videos. This form of recruitment media looks to take the old adage ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’ to new levels, conveying a whole sisterhood in just a few minutes. They are also capable of being massively cheesy and embarrassing. Rush videos are a chance to portray your sisterhood in any light you choose, and at many schools they make or break rush....

In the words of a friend of who is the alumnae/parent chair of her chapter, “Sometimes I honestly have more fun getting drinks with the alumna when they come to visit. It’s like drinking with ourselves, but from the future”. She’s not wrong- these women have already been in our positions, and emerged successful. And that’s exactly why it’s important to remember the women from our organizations that show us time and again that there are some things that only going Greek can prepare you for.... Read more

You have made one of the biggest decisions of your life to go to college. Congratulations! However, that’s not the only decision that you’ll have to make when it comes to college life. Another important decision that you’ll probably make is the decision to go Greek in college. Greek life has lots of benefits to offer to its members – opportunities to build a network, social/community activities to participate in, a strong brotherhood bond to maintain, and many more!  However, one of the biggest challenges college guys face at the beginning of their Greek life is choosing the right fraternity for themselves....

Transfer students get handed a weird set of rules the moment they step on campus. They're expected to settle in fast, make friends fast, figure out a new school fast - and then, somewhere in that chaos, they're also supposed to figure out Greek recruitment on a timeline that was never designed with them in mind. I've sat in enough Panhellenic meetings to know that the system doesn't exactly roll out the welcome mat. And most councils aren't even embarrassed about it. ... Read more

A Wall Street Journal piece dropped recently about the rise of sorority rush consultants, and I've been thinking about it ever since. Not because it's shocking - honestly, it's not - but because it captures something that's been quietly shifting in Greek life for a while now, and I'm not sure we're talking about it honestly enough. ...

There's a pattern most people don't talk about honestly. A fraternity gets suspended - national headlines, campus outrage, a stern statement from the university - and then six months later everyone kind of forgets about it. Then it happens again. Different chapter, same script. And if you've spent any real time in Greek life, you already know which houses on your campus are perpetually one incident away from losing their charter. ...

When a fraternity chapter reaches an agreement with its university to resolve hazing allegations, there are usually two ways people react. Half the campus shrugs and says the chapter got off easy. The other half inside Greek life breathes a sigh of relief and hopes everyone moves on quickly. Neither reaction is really doing the work of understanding what actually happened or what it means going forward. ... Read more

There's a Her Campus piece floating around right now about a woman who didn't join a sorority, spent some time with serious FOMO about it, and then eventually found her people and got over it. And look, I read the whole thing. As a guy who spent four years in a fraternity and watched plenty of friends go through the exact same spiral from the other side of it, I have some thoughts. ...

Formal season sneaks up on you. One week you're grinding through midterms, and the next you're in a group chat trying to figure out hotel blocks, dress codes, and whether the venue has a good enough playlist. But here's the thing - formal isn't really about any of that. The logistics are just the packaging. What's inside is something most people in Greek life don't fully appreciate until it's almost over. ... Read more

UNM's Greek community just raised $57,000 for Storehouse New Mexico during Greek Week. That's a record. And honestly, that number deserves more attention than it's probably getting outside of Albuquerque, because it doesn't happen by accident - and most people who weren't in the room don't understand why. ...

Living in a chapter house sounds like a dream until you're six weeks in and you want to strangle the guy whose alarm goes off at 6 a.m. and who never actually wakes up. Roommate problems exist everywhere in college - dorms, apartments, co-ops - but something about sharing a house with 30 to 80 of your brothers or sisters makes the friction feel more personal. Because it is. ... Read more

Recruitment chairs are great at a lot of things. Remembering your name after meeting 200 guys in two days, cracking jokes that land at 10 a.m., making a house with peeling paint feel like the obvious choice. But breaking down the actual financial commitment? That part somehow always gets left out of the conversation. You find out the real number around week three of pledging, right after you've already told your parents you joined. ... Read more
