Sisters, we confidently know that being in a sorority is so much more than the media and pop culture would like to portray. Regardless of what letters you wear, we can all proudly say that our organizations have the same long-standing goal of empowering women. It’s no surprise to us to see that some of the most powerful women in our society are products of Greeklife. Here’s a list of 8 chapters across the country that are going above and beyond in their efforts to empower and support women....

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....

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.

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.

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.

There is no Greek tradition that splits the room harder than the serenade. Not formals, not bid day, not even the annual argument about whether your chapter's founding date is actually correct. Serenades are either this deeply meaningful, weirdly emotional brotherhood or sisterhood moment - or they are seven minutes of grown adults standing outside a building singing slightly off-key while a row of people judge them from a balcony like some kind of ancient ritual no one has fully explained. And depending on your school, you might be experiencing one or the other.

The University of Central Oklahoma is hosting a Greek Preview Day on April 10, and if you're a prospective student or a curious freshman thinking about rushing, you're probably a little excited about it. That's fair. I was too, once. But I want to talk about what these preview events actually are - and what they're not - because nobody told me the difference before I walked into mine.
