Ah, that time of year -- sorority recruitment -- where we find ourselves spending too much time in the guilty pleasure that is watching sorority recruitment videos.

Here are this semester’s best sorority recruitment videos.... Read more

Sororities are great at many things: hosting campus wide events, coming up with new and interesting t shirt ideas, and of course blowing glitter at cameras. However,  the one thing that sororities do best is expand. They do this through recruitment, snapping up eager new freshman, promising and often delivering an amazing and friend-filled college experience. However, sororities also expand in other, more daring ways—one of which is colonizing new chapters. Here are 7 new chapters of 2016 who are poised to do great things.... Read more

Stereotypical representations of Greek Life are everywhere. Films like “The House Bunny” paint a picture of the “typical” sorority girl. Society tends to view Greek Life in a negative light—typically as a group of people who care just a little too much about partying. While Greek life will provide you with a more active social life, this is actually only a minor aspect of what being Greek is about. Check out these chapters from each of the 50 states... 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. ...

Every year, Bama Rush does something to the national conversation about Greek life that no other campus can quite replicate. The AL.com photos from Bid Day 2026 dropped, and even scrolling through them you can feel the weight of the moment - not the spectacle of it, but the actual emotional reality underneath. These are real people finding out where they belong. And if you've ever stood on that side of the door, you know exactly what that feels like. ... Read more
