Sisters, we confidently know that being in a sorority is so much more than the media and pop culture would like to portray.

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....

Every year, thousands of students walk into recruitment week thinking they've done their research. They watched the videos, scrolled the Instagram accounts, maybe even stalked the chapter rankings. And then day one hits and it is nothing - absolutely nothing - like what they expected. I've sat on Panhellenic council. I've watched the process from both sides of the door. The gap between what recruitment looks like online and what it actually feels like in person is embarrassing, and somebody needs to say it plainly.

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.

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.

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.

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.<

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.
