BigLittleReveal is one of best days of a new member’s sorority career. They literally get a whole new family. There are generally two ways for a bigs/g-bigs to have this special day play out for their new little. Many choose to go with the traditional reveal strategy of “less dress cute and take girly pictures of us hugging”. Then there’s the “let’s make this as fun and silly of an experience as possible” approach. Let’s celebrate the girls who chose to get weird with it in fall 2016....

Sorority life has not always been Lululemon and bid day YouTube videos. Take a trip back in time through this photo gallery that includes photos of sorority chapters from each decade since 1880. It's fascinating to see how not only how fashion changed throughout the decades, but also the changes of the poses and general mood of the photos. Apparently, the first time a sorority girl smiled in a photo was in ...

Nobody tells you that initiation is gonna hit different than you expect. You spend weeks hearing about it secondhand, building it up in your head like some cinematic turning point, and then it actually happens - and the weird part is, it kind of is one. Not because of the ceremony itself, necessarily, but because of what you realize standing in that room with your pledge brothers, thinking about how you got there. I was not prepared for that feeling. Not even a little.

Penn State keeps showing up in the wrong kind of headlines. If you've been paying attention to Greek life news at all over the past few years, you already know this. A recent timeline published by City and State PA lays it out in uncomfortable detail - a string of fraternity scandals at Penn State that, when you stack them together, stop looking like isolated incidents and start looking like something much more systemic. And that distinction matters a lot.
