The weather is still pretty chilly across most of the US. Good thing sorority girls across the country have their “homes away from homes” to offer them shelter from the cold. Some of these homes are classics and some are brand new. In the fall we ranked the 10 Best Sorority Houses in America of Fall 2016. Now it’s time for our Spring 2017 rankings of the best sorority houses in America....

Sororities at large state schools grab a lot of the attention. They’ve got thousands of PNMs to choose from and sisterhoods so big it’s difficult for members to really get close to each and every one of their sisters. I have a lot of respect for the tight sisterhoods found on the campuses with only 2,000 total students. It’s time someone put the spotlight on some of the best sororities at small colleges....

Do you know if your current chapter house is the original house the past brothers or sisters of your fraternity or sorority have always called home? Is the original house still standing? Some chapters are lucky enough to live in a house steeped in tradition while others get to live in brand new homes with state-of-the-art amenities. Let us take a look at some throwback pictures of fraternity and sorority houses of the past and compare them to their modern day versions....

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....

A recent piece out of Signal Cleveland asked Ohio college students to describe campus life in their own words - no filters, no PR spin, just actual students saying what's on their minds in 2025. And honestly, reading through it as a guy who just graduated last year, it hit different than I expected. Not because it was shocking. Because it wasn't.

If you're a freshman woman walking onto campus this fall with zero context about Panhellenic formal recruitment, I want you to hear this from someone who has watched the whole process up close for years - not from a pamphlet, not from a chapter's Instagram highlights reel. The process is genuinely unlike anything else in college life, and the people who struggle most are usually the ones who went in thinking they already understood it.

Before I joined a fraternity, I tailgated exactly twice in college - once for a homecoming game I barely cared about, and once because my roommate dragged me out at 9am on a Saturday. Both times I stood around feeling slightly out of place, like I'd wandered into someone else's tradition. Then I joined Sigma Alpha Epsilon the spring of my sophomore year, and honestly, the tailgate experience became a completely different thing. Not just because of the chapter, but because I finally had context for why these traditions exist and what makes some of them genuinely legendary.<

The Daily Cal's recent piece on the situation at UC Berkeley's Greek Theater column - the "Tossing and Turning" installment - is one of those stories that reads differently depending on where you're sitting. If you're a regular member, it's a vibe piece about uncertainty. If you've ever sat on a Panhellenic council trying to hold twelve chapters accountable to the same rulebook, it hits like a case study in everything that can go wrong when governance gets wobbly.

Florida State University quietly did something that most schools haven't bothered to do: they built a dedicated wellness center with a specific focus on Greek life. Not a general student health office with a pamphlet rack. An actual resource centered on the particular pressures and dynamics that come with being in a fraternity or sorority. And honestly, my first reaction was - why did it take this long?

Nobody hands you a rulebook at bid day. You get a bid card, maybe a t-shirt, and a handshake from guys who are now somehow your brothers. What you don't get is any kind of honest breakdown of how things actually work - the unwritten stuff that takes most freshmen a full semester to figure out, usually by messing it up first. I was one of those freshmen. Took me until second semester to stop embarrassing myself at philanthropy events alone.
