...that even the non-Greek world knows of these fraternities and sororities. They’ve made headlines for one reason or another. They were notorious, or the most rushed. They robbed banks, or raised the most for their philanthropy.... Read more

With so many undergraduates joining fraternities and sororities, one thing is for sure: that’s a lot of bodies. And, a lot of potential to do good. Hence, most chapters across campuses have their mission rooted in some kind of philanthropic effort.

Much respect to the leaders who not only joined a new chapter, but are quickly taking their chapters to the top ranks at their respective schools.

There at 26 Panhellenic sorority members. Each of them have an official unique color or color combination. After asking myself “which sorority has the best colors”, I realized that these preferences would be very subjective. No surprise there. Yet, what I was able to do is list the first thing that comes to mind when I look at a sororities colors.... 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....

Thirty pledges. A filthy basement. Injuries. Condiments. That's what law enforcement found when they responded to a Wisconsin fraternity this past week, and it's the kind of story that makes even the most committed Greek life defender go quiet for a second. I'm not a committed Greek life defender - I joined a fraternity sophomore year after spending my first year firmly in the GDI camp - so I'm not going to sit here and spin this into something it isn't. What happened at that house was hazing. Full stop. And the fact that frat leaders were actually arrested over it means this one isn't going away quietly. ... Read more

It's also, depending on who you ask and which house you're talking about, either completely true or total mythology. I've spent the last couple years watching my male counterparts from various chapters either cash in on those connections or realize the network was mostly vibes and a LinkedIn request from a guy who never learned their name. ...

I've walked through a lot of houses. Fraternity houses, obviously - that's my world - but also plenty of sorority chapter houses over the years, usually for study halls, mixers, or just dropping someone off after a late-night campus event. And every single time, I walk away thinking the same thing: the way sorority housing works is genuinely fascinating, and almost nobody outside of Panhellenic actually understands how it functions day to day. ...

So a university decided it was finally going to get serious about Greek life. Crackdowns, new rules, oversight committees - the whole package. And now CNN is checking in to see how it's going. Spoiler: it's complicated. It's always complicated. Anyone who's spent five minutes inside a fraternity or sorority house could've told them that before the ink dried on whatever policy memo kicked this thing off. ... Read more
