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....

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....

Nobody really prepares you for what it's actually like to live in a fraternity house. Not the recruitment videos, not the older brothers who act like it's all fine, and definitely not the university housing office. I'm a sorority alumna, not a fraternity brother, but I spent enough time in those houses - as a friend, a study partner, a guest at chapter dinners - to understand what the day-to-day reality looks like. And I've heard enough from guys I know, guys who stuck it out and guys who quietly moved off campus after one semester, to have some actual opinions about this.<

Every chapter has one. He sits somewhere in the middle of chapter meetings, maybe gives a two-minute update about GPA requirements, and then everybody moves on to argue about the date party theme. The academic chair. Probably the most overlooked elected position in any fraternity, and honestly, one of the most important ones a chapter can have - if the guy in the seat actually takes it seriously.

SMU just announced it's adding two fraternities in 2026 and a third in 2028, and the reaction I keep seeing online is basically just excitement. New chapters, more options, growing Greek life - great, right? But anyone who's actually sat in a Panhellenic or IFC governance meeting knows that expansion announcements are the easy part. What comes after is where things get genuinely hard.

I went to my first Greek event as a guest, not a member. A friend dragged me along sophomore fall - before I'd pledged anything - and I spent most of the night noticing the logistics more than the actual party. There were sign-in sheets. There were people at the door with clipboards. The music cut off at a specific time and everyone kind of just accepted it. I remember thinking: this is way more organized than I expected, and not entirely in a fun way.

There's a moment near the end of senior year where Greek life stops being a backdrop and starts being the whole point. You've spent four years complaining about dues, skipping chapter meetings, and swearing you'd transfer to a school with better weather. And then suddenly you're crying in a circle of guys you've known since you were eighteen years old, wearing a shirt that doesn't fit anymore, and wondering how it went this fast. Senior sendoff traditions are the thing nobody warns you about. They hit completely different than you expect.

There's a new push at some California schools to require trained student monitors at Greek events - people who are sober, certified, and accountable for what happens during chapter functions. According to EdSource, these regulations are part of a broader effort to build safety into Greek life from the inside out, using students themselves as the enforcement mechanism rather than relying entirely on university administrators or chapter advisors hovering from a distance. On paper, it sounds reasonable. In practice, I have some thoughts.
