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

Another week, another hazing investigation at a major university. This time it's the University of Oregon, where a fraternity is under scrutiny after detailed hazing allegations surfaced through reporting by Lookout Eugene-Springfield. And look, I want to be honest about my reaction when I read it: I wasn't shocked. I was tired. ... Read more

I graduated in 2023, so technically I'm only two years out, not five. But I've talked to enough alumni who are five, seven, ten years past graduation to know what they wish someone had told them earlier. And since I'm already watching my own relationship with Greek life shift faster than I expected, I figured it was worth writing down before I convince myself everything was perfect. ... Read more

My chapter had a GPA floor. Not a suggestion, not a gentle nudge from our academic chairman - an actual hard floor. You fell below it, you went on academic probation with the chapter. You stayed below it, you faced suspension. And I remember thinking, as a pledge, that this felt strict. Almost unfair. But three years later, standing at my graduation with brothers I'd pulled all-nighters with, studied with, pushed through midterms with - I got it. That standard wasn't punishing us. It was shaping us. ... Read more

So Stanford just lost a chunk of its sorority community, and honestly, the story is a little more complicated than the headline makes it sound. According to The Stanford Daily, several sorority chapters have departed from campus - some disaffiliating from their nationals, some shutting down entirely. And before you write it off as a Stanford-specific quirk, I'd slow down on that. Because what's happening there is a symptom of something a lot of Greek life communities are quietly dealing with right now. ... Read more

Before I joined a fraternity, I spent about a year and a half watching Greek life from the outside. And what I saw mostly came through a screen - polished recruitment videos, perfectly staged bid day photos, Formal content that looked like it was shot by a professional. I had a genuine opinion about Greek life based almost entirely on curated content. That's probably more common than anyone wants to admit. ... Read more

A student newspaper having to file a lawsuit just to get public records about Greek life at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo - that's not a transparency problem. That's an accountability crisis. And if you've ever sat in a Panhellenic council meeting watching people argue for forty minutes about whether to release chapter GPA data to the broader campus community, you already know exactly how we got here. ...

Xavier University is getting Greek life next fall, and the internet has opinions. The Xavier Newswire broke the news that multiple chapters are being considered for the school's inaugural Greek expansion - and honestly, as someone who went through recruitment, joined a chapter, and spent four years inside that world, I have a lot of thoughts about what Xavier students are walking into. ...

Every Panhellenic council has one. Maybe they call it something different - standings, rankings, chapter health scores - but it's the same machine. A way of sorting chapters into winners and losers based on criteria that, if you actually look closely, reward the chapters that were already winning. I spent two years on Panhellenic council watching this play out in real time, and I'm done pretending it's a neutral process. ... Read more

Sewanee just quietly did something that a lot of schools have been slow to do - they made the GPA requirement for fraternity and sorority recruitment equal. Both sides of Greek life now need a 2.1 to rush. Same bar, same standard. It sounds simple, but it's the kind of move that actually means something if you care about what these organizations are supposed to stand for. ... Read more

When a student ends up in the hospital at a fraternity event, the coverage that follows tends to follow a pretty familiar script. University suspends chapter. Statement gets released. People who already hated Greek life feel validated. People inside Greek life go quiet and wait for it to blow over. Rinse, repeat. But the Ohio State situation - where a fraternity was suspended after a student was hospitalized at one of their events - deserves more than that script, especially right now. ... Read more
