Anonymous asked: This is in response to the person who asked about the Unified Greek Council...i would suggest to be yourself and make sure to do your research on the organization as a whole and on the individual chapter you are interested in. Always know your information before joining any organization.

Anonymous asked: Do you answer questions about Panhellenic sororities only? I'm interested in a sorority that is part of the Unified Greek Council and I was wondering if anyone had any advice/tips about that. Thank you!

I personally can only answer about Panhellenic sororities since my experience comes from them…but is there anyone else out there that can give the anon some advice??

somethin-is-brewin asked: I'm a brother of my chapter at my campus, just pledged and initiated. When I got my big, I was totally stoked because we had the same interests in culture and being the best of friends with everyone. But it always feels like I'm the adopted little of many of the older brothers, which many have admitted to me. My actual big and I hardly talk anymore, and I never see him around or hang with him. Should I continue to make the effort?

I think you should make an effort. Maybe an invitation to get together and hang out is just what you both need to reignite the relationship. Or maybe, on the other hand, you’ll finally know for sure whether or not you two will be close at all…

I wish you luck and please let me know how things go ok?!

xxstayxseventeenxx asked: For temporaryinsanityxoxo, my chapter doesn't have a big/lil week. We just have a day where the girls have to figure out who their big is in some way (It's different each pledge class). We always have a basket hidden somewhere that's filled with candy, a painted picture frame, a teddy bear (one of my sorority's symbols), and other fun things like nail polish and things like that to give her at the end. Generally we spend about $40 on our baskets, but to each her own!

temporaryinsanityxoxo asked: I got my little sister at a very weird time. We had just initiated a pledge class so she is basically a pledge class of her own. Because of the weird timing and everything, I didn't get the chance to do a big sis week for her. I was wondering if you had any ideas of something special I could do for her in place of a big sis week. I am really low on money so some inexpensive ideas would be helpful.

My chapter actually doesn’t do big sis week (which is a bummer I think) so we have to think outside the box when we get our littles.

I think if you would just do small things for her she would love it. Find out her favorite candy and surprise her with it. Make a scavenger hunt around the school and at the end you’re there to take her out dinner and a movie or something!!

Does anyone else have any suggestions for temporaryinsanityxoxo?

karlymikel-deactivated20121215 asked: Do you have any good ideas for Greek Week events??

At my university we do this event called prison sentence. There’s one room where all the greeks go during the day and each org. gets points for how many people who are there/how many hours they stay. People study, play video games, hang out, etc and it’s just a really cool way to get to know more Greeks while being a somewhat challenging event.

Does anyone else have any suggestions?

Anonymous asked: I'm going to be a 3rd year next fall at a large public university and still haven't found a group where I feel like a truly belong. I'm planning on rushing next fall but I'm worried because I don't know if I'm cut out for the greek system, including the partying and the time commitment, especially during pledging. Also I'm worried that sororities will be less willing to take me since I'm a 3rd year and have been through pledging before with a non Panhellenic greek organization.

I hope you’ll give Greek lief another shot to make sure whether or not you’re “cut out” for it. I really hope you’re able to find an organization that pushes you to be a better person while growing because of your involvement. Also, if a sorority doesn’t want to take you because you’re in your 3rd year, you don’t want to be part of that organization if they can’t accept you for who you are or your age. Give it one more shot!!

Let us know how it goes ( :

samanthalynnchapman asked: My house is currently going through a struggle getting girls so what we did was revamp our whole recruitment plan. We all got together and came up with brand new skits and everything. We're all going all out and it's help bring us closer together and get more excited for the new guys!

That’s awesome! Let us know how recruitment goes!
