There's a recruitment consultant out of Atlanta named Trisha Addicks who just published a book aimed at helping young women find confidence going into sorority recruitment. Atlanta Magazine covered it recently, and when I saw the headline I had two reactions at the same time - impressed, and a little uneasy. Not because what she's doing is wrong. But because it says something pretty loud about where Greek recruitment has gone. ... Read more

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

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

Only a couple regions to go, but while I expected some gorgeous ladies in the South, West, or Midwest, I was surprised at how well these back-east babes turned out in Fall 2015! Smart AND beautiful, these pledge classes might have put em all to shame.... Read more

Think your university has strong Greek roots that go way back? The first collegiate social Greek organizations in North America were established in the first half of the 19th century. A few schools proudly proclaim they are the “Mother of Greek Life” or the “Mother of Fraternities”.  We have assembled a list of universities that can boast the greatest number of fraternities and sororities established on their campuses....

Whoever said sorority girls are not artsy certainly did not know what they were talking about. If you want to see a showcase of artistic skills in Greek Life, check out sorority paddles! Sorority paddles are gifts in Greek Life that littles give their bigs or bigs give their littles as a sign of their bond and sisterhood within the sorority. Sometimes the paddle has a theme that links the sisters – something they have in common besides the sorority. Other times they’re just made to be absolutely cute and connect the sisters through their aesthetic tastes. The tradition of the paddles dates pretty far back, but these days the décor of them is certainly crafty and upscale. I’ve searched the internet and brought you the 15 best sorority paddles!...

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.

I graduated in 2023 with 47 women I called sisters and about six I actually talk to now. That number used to embarrass me a little. Like maybe I'd done something wrong, or hadn't tried hard enough to stay connected. But I've stopped feeling bad about it. Because I think six real ones - after everything - is actually a lot. ...

So Alpha Zeta had a fire. Fire departments responded, the house got damaged, and now everybody's doing that thing where they shake their heads and say something vague about fraternity houses being old. And look, I get it. But I want to push back on the idea that this is just some random unfortunate event. Because it's not. It's a pattern, and Greek life keeps treating it like a surprise every single time. ...

Nobody warned me about the scheduling conflict between picking a major and actually living inside a fraternity. I mean, they warned me about time management in some vague, orientation-video kind of way. But they didn't tell me that Sigma Alpha Epsilon's calendar would be so genuinely packed that I'd be choosing between a major advising appointment and philanthropy week setup - and that I'd pick the philanthropy week every single time. Twice. Until I almost picked the wrong major entirely. ... Read more

Nobody warned me that formal season has logistics. I thought it was just, show up in a suit, take some pictures, have a good night. Then I joined Sigma Chi as a sophomore and watched our social chair spend three weeks coordinating a venue, a shuttle, a photographer, a DJ, catering deposits, and a guest list spreadsheet that went through like six versions. It's basically event planning with a dress code. And once I understood that, the whole experience made a lot more sense. ... Read more
