Shorter University is a small Baptist-affiliated liberal arts school in Rome, Georgia, and its Greek system reflects that scale. There's one active fraternity — Kappa Sigma — and three active sororities: Alpha Delta Pi, Phi Mu, and Zeta Tau Alpha. That puts the overall community on the smaller, more intimate side, which shapes just about everything from how recruitment works to how chapters interact on campus.
On the sorority side, the chapters fall under a Panhellenic council structure. Kappa Sigma operates under IFC. Because the school itself is relatively small, Greek membership represents a meaningful slice of campus social life, though SU isn't the kind of school where Greek life dominates everything the way it might at a large SEC flagship. It's woven into the campus, but it's not the only show in town.
Recruitment at a school this size tends to be a more personal process than what you'd see at a big state university. You're not walking through rows of massive chapter houses in front of hundreds of women or doing a massive formal bid day in a football stadium. It's more conversational, and you'll probably get to know members pretty quickly just through everyday campus life before you ever formally rush.
Shorter's faith-based identity does factor into campus culture broadly, and Greek chapters here operate within that environment. Philanthropy and service tend to be a consistent part of how chapters engage with both the campus and the Rome community. Chapter housing arrangements can vary, and the setup here is more modest compared to schools with dedicated Greek rows or large chapter facilities.
The community has the national organizations you'd recognize, which means members still connect with broader Greek networks, conferences, and alumni bases that extend well beyond Rome.
