Here’s who we strongly feel deserves to be on the list....

There at 26 Panhellenic sorority members. Each of them have an official unique color or color combination.

Saint Louis University just suspended Alpha Eta Rho fraternity over what the school is calling a 'physical hazing incident.' No additional details have been made public yet - no timeline, no description of what actually happened, no word on how long the suspension will last. Just the announcement and the label. And honestly, that combination of vagueness and severity is something I've watched play out on campuses enough times now that it barely surprises me anymore. That's a problem worth thinking about.

Nobody talks about academic probation like it actually happens. You hear about it in whispers, or you see a chapter go quiet on social media for a semester, or someone mentions it offhand at a philanthropy event.

There's this whole invisible architecture to Greek social life that nobody explains during recruitment. You find out about it gradually - through casual comments, through noticing patterns, through eventually asking someone older in your chapter why you keep seeing the same fraternities at every sorority philanthropy event. The answer is almost never random. Greek social calendars are political in a way that took me a while to fully appreciate, and I say that as someone who didn't join until sophomore year and had zero context for any of it.
