I went Greek because I wanted to be a part of something bigger than myself. My sorority has been around since 1851 and there are so many fabulous women out there that I now share a bond with, and there are so many more to come. I’m just a tiny piece of the whole puzzle but it’s left such an incredible mark on me!

tangledlips asked: I know someone asked why we would go greek a while ago. And I don't think that this is a very specific reason, but I only have loner letters right now because I am a pledge. And every time I put them on, I feel protected, that I am invincible and my sisters have my back. And they have already proved that. I also have had possibly the worst week of my life that I can remember of, again, my...

young--wildfree asked: For the question about ice breakers, at my sorority, we write questions on jenga blocks, and then we play jenga. Whatever question is on the block you pull, you have to answer it.

sliimlove asked: I went greek because I had nobody at my school that I knew. I figured it would be something fun to be involved in...but it has been SO much more. Joining my house has changed my life. I have grown in ways that i would have never imagined. i have people to count on at all times and be there for me no matter how big or little the situation is. i have something to believe in. i have bridesmaids. i...
wiilddatheartt asked: I went Greek because I wanted to join something that was bigger than myself. Joining Greek life gives you a huge support system, it turns you into a better man or woman.You do countless hours of service and raise tons of money, and the people you meet will be your best friends for life! It was easily the best decision I ever made!
cor10a asked: I went Greek because I wanted a group of friends, no strike that, a FAMILY that i couldn't get anywhere else. My goal in life is to help others, but no one has ever tried to help me. Greek Life did that for me, without me even realizing it. My sorority has made me realize that it's okay to be who I am, and it's okay to love others as they are. Maybe Greek Life isn't for...

korriisaloser asked: Do you have any advice for an African American girl wanting to rush sophomore year? I go to Georgia Southern University and there are not many African Americans who go through the rush process. I was just wondering what I could do to have a good experience.

settinggoalsgettingbetter asked: To the one who asked about awkward 8th grade dance parties (aka mixers), here's what I have to say: Try something NEW. Get your organizations together in a non-drinking/partying scene. I mean do a philanthropy together, or some sort of stress-free event. We do Capture the Flag games, philanthropy days, things like that. These let us get to know some of the newer members that we don't...
canadianmouseketeer asked: I had the same problem as the anon with non-mingling chapters... what we did was have an awesome themed mixer (we played life sized Mario Party, complete with minigames and giant dice) and everyone was paired up with a member of the other chapter. The guys set up the game with squares on couch cushions and stairs around the chapter room and down stairs to the living room etc. The guy in charge had...

For the person who asked how to get more sisters to go to mixers: If money is the issue, try charging more if less sisters go. For example, my chapter is tiny, so if all 40 girls go, each would put in one dollar, which would make $40. And then the price could go up to $5/sister if less sisters chose to go. If it’s because they dont like hanging out with other...

I think having fun themes or activities that require interaction without being pushy will help people get over their awkwardness. Also asking sisters who already know brothers to introduce people will help get conversations started. If no one knows anyone try going to IM events or philanthropy events to get to know some before a mixer.
Anonymous asked: Do you have any advice of how to get more girls to come out to mixers with fraternities? Some girls do not feel comfortable coming out or when they do, it seems more of an 8th grade dance situation rather than a comfortable get together. Ultimately it is complicating relations with other fraternities.
Anonymous asked: What is a charter for and can Greek organizations exist if they're not recognized by nationals or the school?

Anonymous asked: What's the difference between a fraternity/sorority that is recognized by the school and those that are not. Or organizations that have lost their charter but are still initiating and taking pledges?

A sister's tragedy
Submitted by theimperfectsperfections
On Sunday December 18, 2011 in the early morning, a sister of mine’s boyfriend was shot and killed in a robbery. It was right after our after formals party so he was only carrying maybe the gifts for my sister’s little. The suspect got away, and has left us with such a huge tragedy. I’d like to submit and publicize this so we can get as much...
