I understand that being at a commuter school with little greek participation is difficult, but to sit and say the nationals at your school don't do anything isn't very nice, especially when they are organizations in which some of us belong (D Phi E and Phi Sig).

From the sounds of it, Greek Unity isn't very prevalent, and the Greek Community isn't offering students what they are looking for in terms of sorority life. My suggestion is re-evaluate what you're doing as a sisterhood. Instead of working against each other, talk to members of the other sororities on campus and work on a real Go Greek plan instead of a go D Phi E or AOX.

I know at my school, there was an interest group of 30 women who wanted to start their own sorority b/c what the others had to offer wasn't what they were looking for. Fortunately, Panhel and campus said no, and these girls found out that what they were looking for was out there in D Phi E.

Sorry if I sounded bitchy in paragraph #1, but I never appreciate one of my chapters being put down.

How long does the shoe polish last? Does it come off in the rain?

Thanks!

shadokat: you have every right to bitch :) I'm sorry if I offended you in any way.

I really wasn't trying to put anyone down. Delta Phi Epsilon and Phi Sigma Sigma have wonderful members and are both wonderful organizations. I am very good friends with members from both organizations. We have tried several times to promote the Greek system as a whole but everytime it has fallen through because someone wasn't responsible. My sorority works our butts off promoting the Greek system. We just want people to come to rush events, yeah we'd love for a lot of the girls to join our sorority, but if they fit better with somebody else that's fine. We are just tired of everyone bitching about numbers :(

Our entire Greek population is probably less than 100 students! This is why I'm looking for better ways to publicize rush and Greek Life in general.
