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....

Virginia Commonwealth University just suspended a fraternity over hazing and assault allegations, and if you've spent any time around Greek life, you already know the basic shape of this story. Another chapter, another investigation, another university forced to act publicly on something that was probably an open secret for a while. It's not surprising. That's kind of the problem. ...

There's a type of alumni event guest who shows up before the actives do, knows where the good snacks are hidden, and somehow ends up in every group photo. She graduated four years ago. Maybe six. And she is always there. Not in a mentorship way. Not in a "I'm chaperoning this for liability reasons" way. Just... there. Camped out like she never left. ... Read more

When I was in school, the worst internal conflict my chapter ever had was a heated argument over whether to get a foosball table or fix the back porch railing. We voted on it. Someone's feelings got hurt. We moved on. Nobody called a lawyer. Alpha Phi Delta apparently did not have that luxury, because the fraternity just filed a lawsuit against Greek housing organizations - and that's a sentence I did not expect to read on a Tuesday. ...

Junior year, I had a thermodynamics exam on a Tuesday and hadn't slept more than four hours in three days. I was ready to just grind it out alone in the library like I always did freshman year - before I joined. Then my brother Marcus, a mechanical engineering senior, sat down next to me at the chapter house kitchen table at 10 PM and said, "You're doing the energy balance wrong." Two hours later I actually understood it. Passed that exam. And I remember thinking - this is literally what the whole thing is supposed to be for.< ... Read more

Bid Day at the University of Nebraska Kearney isn't making national headlines. It's not Alabama. It's not a viral TikTok moment with thousands of girls in matching outfits losing their minds on a quad somewhere. It's a small campus doing a thing that matters quietly, and honestly, that version of Bid Day deserves more attention than it gets. ... Read more

Before I joined, I followed three or four fraternity and sorority accounts on Instagram. Mostly because my friends were rushing and I was curious. And honestly, the content made Greek life look like a constant highlight reel - coordinated outfits, matching formals, philanthropy events that looked like they were professionally photographed. I thought I had a pretty clear picture of what it was. I was wrong in almost every direction. ... Read more

South Carolina colleges just handed us another reminder that hazing isn't a relic of some old-school fraternity culture that died out decades ago. It's happening right now, on real campuses, and according to a report from The State, hazing topped the list of Greek life violations across South Carolina colleges - again. Not for the first time. Again. That word should bother you. ... Read more

Every chapter has that one event on the calendar that nobody skips. Not because there's a fine for missing it, not because your pledge educator guilted you into showing up - but because you actually want to be there. For most chapters, that's Founders Day. And if your chapter is treating it like just another Tuesday night with a nicer tablecloth, you're missing the whole point. ... Read more

Every time a university talks about Greek housing, someone in an administrative office is actually talking about control. That's the conversation nobody in Panhellenic wants to have out loud, but after sitting through enough council meetings and watching chapters fight for recognition, I've stopped pretending the housing debate is just about square footage and quiet hours. ...
