Re: Hey! If you thought this felt familiar...
 

the link didn't work....

Alpha Chi Omega: I like that they were founded by music majors.
Alpha Delta Pi: I have really good friends who are ADPi's, though I feel SO sorry for them having lost their charter this past semester at my school... now my school is down to 6 sororities ;_; What I really like about ADPi is 1) diamonds are awesome and 2) my boyfriend was born in the same place that the sorority was founded
Alpha Epsilon Phi: I love lily of the valley's, which is their flower. We have some growing at my dad's house back home...
Alpha Gamma Delta: I think the squirrel is a very unique mascot.
Alpha Omicron Pi: I like that they can type AOII without having to use the symbol font if they want.
Alpha Phi: Again, I love lily of the valley's, and this sorority also uses it as one of their flowers, the forget me nots are pretty nice too.
Alpha Sigma Alpha: I like how they have four exemplars.
Alpha Sigma Tau: I like how while they have the anchor, chapters are allowed to adopt local mascots as well.
Alpha Xi Delta: I like how they have the quill for their member badge.
Chi Omega: We have Chi O's on my campus, and I like that we both have Owl's as mascots. I also think it is awesome that they support the Make a Wish foundation as I used to work with kids who had gotten to go on that program.
Delta Delta Delta: We also had Tri-Delt's here, this is going to sound really geeky, but I love their new member pin because everytime I look at it I think of the tri-force (my room mate is addicted to Zelda)
Delta Gamma: I like how their philanthropy helps with the blind.
Delta Phi Epsilon: I like their mascot of the unicorn, as well as the fact that they have iris's, since we often use iris's in my sorority.
Gamma Phi Beta: These girls have a really strong chapter here on my campus, and I like that they were founded in Syracuse and have the lovely crescent moon symbol.
Kappa Alpha Theta: I like their kite shaped badge, that and 2 of their colors are phi mu alpha colors (the black and the gold that is)
Kappa Delta: Another strong chapter on my campus, I like that they are a big supporter of Girl Scouts, although I was never in Girl Scouts myself.
Kappa Kappa Gamma: Of course I love these girls, I'm one of them! Blue was already my favorite color before joining, so that worked our really well for me I have to say! I also love our key... and my boyfriend loves to get me sapphire since he knows it's my sorority's stone...
Phi Mu: Whenever I hear "Phi Mu" I always think of "Phi Mu Alpha" because we abreviate referencing "Phi Mu Alpha's" on this campus as "Phi Mu's" since we have no Phi Mu sorority here... but on a more serious note, they, like ADPi were also founded at the same place my boyfriend was born, and I think the Quatrefoil is a very unique symbol.
Phi Sigma Sigma: We share the same sorority stone, you've got to love that sapphire.
Pi Beta Phi: We have these girls on our campus, and I really like their arrow. Yay monmouth duo!
Sigma Delta Tau: I like their badge.
Sigma Kappa: I love their dove and heart as symbols, and the violet is a great flower.
Sigma Sigma Sigma: I think it's really neat that they have a doll collection to remember each chapter installation by.
Theta Phi Alpha: I like how their new member pin has the compass in the middle.
Zeta Tau Alpha: They have strawberries as part of their symbols, and that is great, I don't think I've seen any other sororities with a food as a symbol. That and strawberries are yummy.

As a PNM I definitely appreciate this thread; it encouraged me to research all sororities (not just those on my campus) and definitely made me want to be a part of greek life.

Alpha Chi Omega: On the DePauw campus tour I ws able to tour their house. I just think it's pretty awesome that I was able to see the Alpha Chapter of a sorority and how much the girls love their history. I remember our hostess saying how everyone has to learn about their chapter and how cool she thought it was.

Alpha Delta Pi: The first woman to get me interested in sororities was an ADPi. She had nothing but wonderful things to say about her sisters.

Alpha Epsilon Phi: I like the Pearl Program for new members...it sounds so unique.

Alpha Gamma Delta: My Alpha Gam friend has this in her AIM profile and I've always loved it: The crowds admire her, little girls idolize her, classmates respect her, and men love her. She's loyal, sincere, truthful and kind, a follower and a leader. She's a scholar and a party girl, a heartbreaker and a true love, a class clown, a fraternity sweetheart and a student body president; she's a lady, but most of all, she's an Alpha Gam.

Alpha Omicron Pi: I have a Panda Collection so needless to say, I love their mascot!

Alpha Phi: Was the first women's fraternity in America to build and occupy its own chapter house. So without them, we might not have all of those gorgeous sorority houses.

Alpha Sigma Alpha: I like how there's an opening meaning about their letters: Aspire Seek Attain.

Alpha Sigma Tau: The history of how they decided to be official Alpha Sigma Tau Sorority is really interesting.

Alpha Xi Delta: An AXiD wrote the Panhellenic Creed, that's so awesome.

Chi Omega: It just continues to flourish, which is amazing. I really like the look of their website too.

Delta Delta Delta: I've always associated classy women with Tri-Delts since all of the one I've met have definitely upheld the highest standards of womanhood.

Delta Gamma: Anchorsplash just sounds so cool. I'm definitely jealous that we don't have a DG chapter on my campus.

Delta Phi Epsilon: I love how there is an opening meaning to the greek letters: Dedication, Pride, Excellence.

Delta Zeta: I love how their website has "Greek World" with people from various sororities and fraternities.

Gamma Phi Beta: I love how original its colors are. (I was reading my school's history the other day and we lost Gamma Phi back in the '80s and I really, really want them to come back after reading all about them!)

Kappa Alpha Theta: CASA is an awesome philanthropy and I've been told about a few CASA chapters that would not be in existance without the help of Thetas.

Kappa Delta: I love how they support the girl scouts (especially since APO is tied to scouting as well).

Kappa Kappa Gamma: The fleur-de-lis is so elegant and it definitely is a good representation of how classy Kappas are. Kappa probably has the least number of inactive chapters too--how do you do it?

Phi Mu: My friend is a Phi Mu and when I went to visit her at school her door was covered with notes from her sisters and she had lions everywhere. It was amazing to see how awesome her sisters were in welcoming her to the sorority.

Phi Sigma Sigma: Their official stone (sapphire) is my birthstone!

Pi Beta Phi: The fact that Pi Phi is the sole contributor of Arrowmont is pretty cool. What a great philanthropy to have.

Sigma Delta Tau: Congratulations on building a national headquarters!

Sigma Kappa: The dove and heart are such timeless symbols.

Sigma Sigma Sigma: I was at a conference this summer and stayed on the Tri-Sigma floor of the dorm. There were such sweet notes written on the wall and it was so nice.

Theta Phi Alpha: The history is pretty awesome. It's sad though how the number of active chapters are dwindling.

Zeta Tau Alpha: The first girl I knew to go through recruitement and join a sorority (not one who was already a sister) went ZTA and her love for her sisters definitely made me appreciate that bond and want something similar for myself. Plus, now everytime I see a Hallmark Card I'm reminded the sorority.

Re: Ok ill play
 

There's no secret to the turtle. He/she/it isn't an "official" mascot, but all our chapters have adopted it. There are all kinds of stories about it. My favorite one is that the turtle can't hear, and our philanthropy is Speech and Hearing Impaired. The truth, though, from what I can gather, is that we adopted the turtle as a mascot in honor of an alumnae who loved turtles. (Her name escapes me right now!) If I'm wrong about this, though, someone correct me. Also, I have no idea if turtles are really deaf. :p

Alpha Chi Omega My RA freshman year was a Alpha Chi and she was one of the sweetest girls I've ever met. And I love thier symphony.
Alpha Delta Pi Another Macon Magnolia. And being the oldest and first is really cool.
Alpha Epsilon Phi The giraffe is really unique.
Alpha Gamma Delta I love the squirrel and the AGD's on my campus are so involved and outgoing.
Alpha Omicron Pi The color cardinal is so unique, and I love pandas.
Alpha Phi I love the silver and bordeaux and the Ivy is gorgeous.
Alpha Sigma Alpha I love Raggedy Ann and I always admire their new member program.
Alpha Sigma Tau The anchor is a interesting symbol and they were founded in Michigan.
Alpha Xi Delta BetXi is so cute. And the National President's Medallion is cool.
Chi Omega Well, my mom is a ChiO so I have a ton of respect for the group. And I can always remember my mom's paddle in our game room.
Delta Delta Delta I like that they have a tree, and I like their open motto, "Let us steadfastly love one another".
Delta Gamma Anchorsplash sounds great, and I love the cream rose.
Delta Phi Epsilon Their PEARL program sounds amazing and the unicorn is so unique.
Delta Zeta Their philanthropy is cool (I'm in my third semester of ASL)
Gamma Phi Beta The crescent moon is gorgeous.
Kappa Alpha Theta I like the kite symbol and the black and gold pansy.
Kappa Delta I like their object and purpose and admire their work with the Girl Scouts.
Kappa Kappa Gamma I met an amazing Kappa this summer. Their key badge is interesting and so is the history behind it.
Phi Mu My sisters are awesome. I love our creed and I think Sir Fidel is adorable.
Phi Sigma Sigma The Sphinx is very interesting and I like how they have an official hymn.
Pi Beta Phi The angel is a very cool symbol.
Sigma Delta Tau The history of Brother Nat, and their badge.
Sigma Kappa Their work with Alzheimer's and the dove is a beautiful symbol.
Sigma Sigma Sigma The sailboat and it's "ever forward" meaning.
Theta Phi Alpha Their penguin mascot and the compass as a symbol.
Zeta Tau Alpha The chain of chapters is an interesting tradition and their pledge pin is very interesting.

Re: Ok ill play
 

Not secret at all. The turtle is not the official mascot of DZ (we have no official mascot), and several of our chapters have other mascots b/c other locals on their campuses already used turtles when DZ first started using them.

The turtle was recognized in the 70's as an "unofficial" mascot to honor one of our Past National Presidents, who was an avid collector of everything turtle related, but it has never been officially adopted, and it is not mentioned on our national web-site along w/the other identifying facts (like emblem, jewel, colors, etc.). Many older DZs do not associate the turtle with DZ at all. So that's basically it! Mystery solved!

Re: Re: Ok ill play
 

Wait is the women you're talking about a parliamentarian? I remember at convention we had an alum from another sorority who was a professional parlimentarian at our business sessions who was obsessed with turtles. I wonder if its the same person.

I think I'll give this a try...

Alpha Chi Omega: I love the way they got their name! Their philanthropy is fantastic… such a worthy cause!

Alpha Delta Pi: I am consistently blown away by how classy these women are. They have such a tangible love for each other and the ideals of their sisterhood. They truly are the “finest!”

Alpha Epsilon Phi: Another group of remarkable women with a strong sense of history. I’ve never met an AEPhi who wasn’t sweet and intelligent. Just an amazing group!!

Alpha Gamma Delta: I love the idea of two flowers… it’s beautiful. Their mascot is wonderful too (when I worked for a Vet hospital, we rescued a baby squirrel and named her “Alpha Gam”). Their alumni program is an inspiration to all of us.

Alpha Omicron Pi: You have to respect an organization that was founded by a group of women who were so loyal to each other!! That loyalty shines through to this day. And their badge is beautiful!!!

Alpha Phi: Their colors are so classy!! The Ivy leaf is a beautiful symbol too!

Alpha Sigma Alpha: The phoenix is such an inspirational symbol! I love the multiple colors and the different days that are special to the organization.

Alpha Sigma Tau: I had the pleasure of meeting a group of AST’s at a Panhellenic event and I loved them!! I also love the simplicity of their badge. Just a wonderful sisterhood.

Alpha Xi Delta: I love their open motto!! And who doesn’t love Bet-xi Bear?

Chi Omega: What a huge sisterhood!! They are a FUN group of women and are full of Panhellenic spirit.

Delta Delta Delta: I respect everything about this organization!! Their symbols are beautiful, the women are lovely and I LOVE the Trident guard on their badge!!

Delta Gamma: A very strong sisterhood with amazing spirit. They were fantastic on our campus! Anchor Splash is such a cool philanthropy event!

Delta Phi Epsilon: I had the pleasure of working with a DPhiE at my first teaching job and she was amazing. I met some of her sisters and they were all sweet and a ton of fun.

Delta Zeta: I love our Lamp, our Killarney Rose, our diamond… everything!! I am so honored to be part of this amazing group!!! My blood runs pink and green!!

Gamma Phi Beta: A very unique sisterhood... there is this cool aura of mystery that surrounds them that I think is so fascinating! I love that one of their colors comes from the name of one of the people who helped start the sorority.

Kappa Alpha Theta: Their badge is so beautiful and symbolic! I love the twin stars!! Cool colors, too!

Kappa Delta: My cousin is a Kappa Delta… they are obviously a great group of women!!

Kappa Kappa Gamma : Everyone’s ideal Greek organization. We are all indebted to them for creating such a positive public persona for sororities, as they are the most well known outside of the GLO community.

Phi Mu: True Southern genteel women. Gorgeous symbols (I love the quatrefoil) and Sir Fidel is adorable!

Phi Sigma Sigma: I love that they were founded as a Non-Sectarian sisterhood. Their twin ideals, the Sphinx, the pyramid… all beautiful representations of a strong sisterhood.

Pi Beta Phi: I love the 12-link chain on their badge representing their founders. Their badge is so simple and elegant (elegant… just like their members!).

Sigma Delta Tau: I can’t say enough wonderful stuff about this organization! When one of my sisters died tragically in a plane crash, all of the SDT’s wore pink and green ribbons under their (gorgeous) badges as a sign of solidarity. They stopped by our house everyday bringing food, helping us clean and giving us shoulders to cry on. I don’t think Delta Zeta would have made it through that horrible time without SDT’s kindness and generosity. That’s true Panhellenic spirit!

Sigma Kappa : Truthfully, I knew very little about this organization until I looked at their website, and now I know that they are awesome!! I was saddened to learn that their Alpha chapter no longer exists because the campus ceased greek life.

Sigma Sigma Sigma: I think that the sailboat is such a cool symbol and their colors are beautiful! Every Tri Sigma I’ve ever known has been so outgoing and warm!

Theta Phi Alpha: There is something about this group of women that screams classy!! In spite of their size, they are a tight and strong sisterhood. Our local chapter is so active in community service and all the sisters are lovely.

Zeta Tau Alpha: What’s cooler than a crown as a symbol? This is another group that has such a palpable love for each other. A great organization!

*bump b/c it's a great thread*

Sorry if a lot of these have to do badges, but I suffer greatly from Crow Syndrome--a strong fascination with shiny/sparkly things.

Alpha Chi Omega - I think it's cool how their badge reflects their musical heritage.

Alpha Delta Pi - They laid the way for the rest of us!

Alpha Epsilon Phi - Pediatric AIDS is a huge deal and I'm glad someone took it on.

Alpha Gamma Delta - They have the highest sorority GPA on Auburn's campus for several years running!

Alpha Omicron Pi - Gorgeous badge, and I saw somewhere (on GC I think) that AOII has no crest b/c the founders felt that the rose would stand well enough to remind members of the ideals of AOII. That's pretty interesting.

Alpha Phi - I like how the ivy is an official symbol for the growth of their sisterhood.

Alpha Sigma Alpha - I like the ASA Creed because like the Auburn Creed, it reminds you of what's important in life.

Alpha Sigma Tau - I like how they have different badges for different stages of membership (collegiate and alumna) and positions within the sorority (Nat'l Council and Nat'l President).

Alpha Xi Delta - well, HRS bekibug is one, so what's not to love?

Chi Omega - Both of my suitemates freshman year were Chi O's and they were both cool. One was wedding director for Auburn United Methodist Church at 18!

Delta Delta Delta - I like the reasoning for having a pearl as a jewel representing the new member--because it is the only jewel that grows and it becomes something beautiful.

Delta Gamma - I like their open motto "Do Good" and how it applies not just to DG's, but everyone.

Delta Phi Epsilon - Anorexia and associated disorders are extremely important to fight, especially among college-age women. Glad someone is working to fight it!

Delta Zeta - When I was working in a lawyer's office a couple summers ago, an Auburn DZ helped me find stuff I needed in the courthouse. Awesome girl.

Gamma Phi Beta - I have several good friends in Gamma Phi that are going to be in my wedding, when/if I ever get married.

Kappa Alpha Theta - The kite is a really interesting choice of badge shape.

Kappa Delta - My mom's one! Also, gorgeous badge options.

Kappa Kappa Gamma - The KKG pref ceremony--OMG. Beautiful.

Phi Mu - My 3rd grade teacher and now friend is a Phi Mu, and she's the one that lets the kids hang out at her house on the weekends that the parents are totally cool with b/c they know nothing crazy's going to happen.

Phi Sigma Sigma - I think it's interesting that they have an official hymn, because as far as I know, nobody else does.

Pi Beta Phi - Few things are as or more important than literacy, so awesome job working to increase it!

Sigma Delta Tau - Gorgeous badge. Simple, yet so pretty.

Sigma Kappa - 4 philanthropies (according to the website). Wow. 'Nuff said.

Sigma Sigma Sigma - I like the idea of dressing a doll each year in that year's fashion and keeping them on display. It's a cool way to keep a sort of history going!

Theta Phi Alpha - I like the different badges for members, chapter and national presidents.

Zeta Tau Alpha - I like the idea of the chain of chapters (kinda like the links in the President's Medallion of AZD) and the Purple of the Fraternity that the National President wears.

Wow, that took a longer time than I thought it would, but I learned a few new things about other sororities, and isn't that part of being a good Panhellenic member?

I've been putting this off, as there were some sororities about which I knew little. Hopefully, I'm a bit more informed now...

Alpha Chi Omega: What a beautiful pin! Didn't it win an award for that once? I see lyres and think of angels!

Alpha Delta Pi: I read our Creed daily, and believe in every word. One of the many joys of Alpha Delta Pi is that, while wearing the same diamond pin since 1851, each of us is free to personalize it with a wide range of variations. Just as our pins are each the same and yet special to each sister, so is our sisterhood!

Alpha Epsilon Phi: Another vote for the wonderful Pediatric AIDS philanthropy! How sadly necessary, and how terrific that the AEPhis have picked it up!

Alpha Gamma Delta: Diabetes is such a worthy philanthropy; I'm so glad that someone picked up on it! And I just love squirrels!

Alpha Omicron Pi: The fact that they won't use a crest, as it isn't part of being "greek" is so admirable! And they use the red so effectively!!

Alpha Phi: I just love the use of "Fee" instead of "Fie"! And I admit that I love ivy.

Alpha Sigma Alpha: The history of their founding is awesome, but so is Raggedy Ann!

Alpha Sigma Tau: It's really cool that they're allowed to have a chapter mascot, but I love their rose, too.

Alpha Xi Delta: Seeing as how the quill is mightier than the sword, the AXD pin is doubly impressive. Maybe it's the free lancer in me? ;)

Chi Omega: I love their Symphony - especially the part about not being popular so much as lovable! Nutbrwnhair has convinced me that not all ChiO's are blonde, too! ;)

Delta Delta Delta: Goofy, but the SNL "Can I help ya, help ya, help ya?" skit always tickled me - AND the Trident was quite possibly the first sorority magazine I ever saw!

Delta Gamma: How can you go wrong with "Do Good"?! And, two of my absolute favorite colors!

Delta Phi Epsilon: I've always had a soft spot in my heart for DPhiE, ever since my Rho Chi was one. I love their interest in eating disorders, having had a sister with a severe case of anorexia.

Delta Zeta: The pink & green are just so Lily Pulitzer! The DZ's I've met are some of the most fun women I've known - and during my first job, it was a DZ who was my cohort in crime! Maura, where are you?!?!?!?!

Gamma Phi Beta: While we didn't have GPhiB on my campus, we had a "Crescent Society" that we've kept going. The Crescent Moon is such an artistic symbol!

Kappa Alpha Theta: Congratulations for being the first "fraternity" for women - and the number of wonderful famous Thetas (ie: Marlo Thomas, Laura/Jenna/Barbara Bush, etc).

Kappa Delta: One of my favorite older ladies is a KD, and if every KD has one-tenth of the combination of class & humor that she has, they are well blessed! Her last name, Lily, is just so appropriate!!

Kappa Kappa Gamma: Keys are such a wonderful symbol, in so many ways! And let's face it, more non-greeks have heard of Kappa than any other sorority!

Phi Mu: Love the Pink, love Sir Fidel, love the Macon Magnolias!! Steel Magnolias sealed their place in theatrical history - and showed the better side of women!

Phi Sigma Sigma: Their pin & symbols really stand out among the different sororities - and sapphires are my birthstone!

Pi Beta Phi: As much as I've loved the arrow, I never understood the twelve links to the chain until recently. How perfectly wonderful!

Sigma Delta Tau: Every SDT I've ever met has been a great example of a Sorority Woman. And having Child Abuse as their philanthropy just makes it all the more real.

Sigma Kappa: I'm in geriatrics. Needless to say, I completely respect their interest in Alzheimer's.

Sigma Sigma Sigma: The whole doll thing fascinates me! What a fantastic idea!!

Theta Phi Alpha: I get SUCH a kick out of the penquin being your mascot! How perfect!!

Zeta Tau Alpha: Okay, who really doesn't wear a crown? The ZTA's I've met certainly deserved one - classy women all the way!

How about this...I'll comment on the few that I know and then on the OC sororities.

Alpha Xi Delta- a beautiful pin, a wonderful motto, and a true sisterhood. If I was ever to join a national, I would hope that I could be an Alpha Xi.

Alpha Kappa Alpha (I know, NPHC but whatever)- I have met so many classy AKA's and been taught by so many of them, I have to give them snaps :). Also, it seems that the vast majority of women are involved (and heavily so) long after their collegiate career, which is what we'd hope of all alumns.

Delta Gamma- our Greek life advisor and my academic advisor (whom I love to pieces, she's great) are both DG's! I think the pin is distinctive, you can recognize a wearer a mile away.

now on to Otterbein!

Sigma Alpha Tau- these girls work their buts off and put in a ton of community service hours. Not a week goes by where they don't have some sort of walk or project for some philanthropy. Plus the color combos (grn/gold, blk/wht) are very neat.

Theta Nu- classy in every way. I love their house too! I have respect for them for growing their chapter from just 6 members to nearly 60 in less than 5 years. It speaks to the quality and hardwork of their members.

Epsilon Kappa Tau- these girls LOVE them some pink! Which might explain their passion for their philanthropy, breast cancer. If I wasn't a Delta, I would have loved to join EKT. They have a really laid back feel, and they honestly care about their sisters.

Kappa Phi Omega- Huzzah for being the largest. They have an official dance, the highland fling, which they are known for. I love the mascot, the scottie dog, because I want a scot more than anything. If you walk anywhere on campus, you will see at least one Kappa in letters, they're EVERYWHERE.

Tau Epsilon Mu- For being one of the oldest on campus and housed continually in the same house for a long time. TEM'rs are also everywhere. Plus they're neighbors to my sorority. The newspaper editor was a TEMer, and she is really a fantastic writer and person. TEM also frequently pledges srs and jrs along with freshmen, they have such a variety!

Tau Delta- for being the sorority that I love. The second I pass over the chrest, I'm home. These girls accept me, spandex and all. I've had great times with them, and I can only imagine what is ahead. I just passed the one year anniversary of my initiation, and I just smiled the whole day. I love the white rose, the fact that our crest has japanese letters on it, the siamese cat mascot, the wht/blu and red/blk color combos, the NEW philanthropy (Kids in Kamp). I love being a small sorority. I love knowing more than name/hometown/major. But I love that we're growing and recruting progressively larger classes, but with the same quality and uniquely delta women.
(to O my darlin)
"i'm a delta, i'm a delta, i'm a delta till I die, always proud to be a delta with my sisters by my side..."

I am still in the process of looking up all 26 NPC groups, but I would like to show my respect for the few GLO's that I know personally.

Alpha Xi Delta: the ladies of Alpha Xi on my campus are so sweet, driven, and accomplished in everything they do.

Alpha Kappa Alpha: I know they are NPHC, but I would like to acknowledge them. I know two AKA's they are about 70 years old and to this day they wear their letters with so much pride. They are also very active in their Alumnae chapters. How can you not appreciate that respect and dedication, it almost brings tears to my eyes.

Chi Omega: My oldest sister is a ChiO, so of course I love them!
I know that they are the largest womens organization, second only to the Girls Scouts. I love the badge! I remember admiring it some 10-12 years ago and still do.

Delta Sigma Theta: I've know a few older and young Deltas and they have always been mannerable and respectful.

Kappa Alpha Theta: I met four of them a couple years ago, and I can describe them in one word, CLASSY.

Zeta Tau Alpha: I love our five-pointed crown! I love seeing it anywhere and everywhere. I love what it stands for and the many things that it has taught me and continues to teach me every day.

Oooooo...I better not mention my highlights, huh?

Alpha Chi Omega: I love your musical history.
Alpha Delta Pi: I love how they were the first women's secret society giving way to the rest of us.
Alpha Epsilon Phi: I love how you share the lilly of the valley with us and the giraffe is one awsome animal.
ALpha Gamma Delta:I know a lot of AGD's and they are really amazing girls. and the squirrel is an awsome mascot.YAY Syracuse Triad
Alpha Omicron Pi: I like that they can type their name without changing fonts, and how they dont have a crest that is really cool.
Alpha Phi: There is too much i love about them, my love's the ivy, my love's the forget-me-nots, my love's the silver and bordeaux!!
Alpha Sigma Alpha: I love their motto "Aspire, Seek, Attain" it gets right to the point.
Alpha Sigma Tau: I love their local mascot Tigger!!! and how our chapter here has hot dog sales every month.
Alpha Xi Delta: I think its cool how they wrote the panhell creed and that they have the letter Xi in their name.
Chi Omega: I love their mascot the owl and their badge cause it has a skull and bones and i think thats awsome.
Delta Delta Delta: I love yout motto "Let us steadfastly love one another" isnt that what all sororities should be about? and how cool is it that you have the same letter three times.
Delta Gamma: I love how your badge symbolizes the ideals of hope and how you have a flower named after you.
Delta Phi Epsilon: I have a really good freind who is in DPhiE and she helped me find my way to alpha phi.i also love the unicorn.
Delta Zeta: I know some of the sweetest girls in DZ and the turtle is one of the cutest things ever.
Gamma Phi Beta: I love how you made up a new term that everyone uses today and of course that you were founded in Syracuse.
Kappa Alpha Theta: I like how you were the first women's organization to use greek letters.
Kappa Delta: I love how you are a big supporter of the Girl Scouts.
Kappa Kappa Gamma:I love the use of the fleur de lis and the use of the key as the badge.
Phi Mu: Your crest is absolutly beautiful and the Quatrefoil is such a unique symbol.
Phi Sigma Sigma:I love the sapphire and the idea that any woman could join is awsome.
Pi Beta Phi: i admit i love the angels their my favorite mascot and i like how your nickname is pi phi and even your nationals recognize it.
Sigma Delta Tau: I love how one of your colors is cafe au lait and the whole story of Nathan House.
Sigma Kappa: I love their dove and heart as symbols, and the violet is a great flower.
Sigma Sigma Sigma: I think it's really neat that they have a doll collection to remember each chapter installation by.
Theta Phi Alpha: I like how their new member pin has the compass in the middle.
Zeta Tau Alpha: They have strawberries as part of their symbols, and that is great, I don't think I've seen any other sororities with a food as a symbol. That and strawberries are yummy.

I'm sure you're a beautiful ChiO with or without your highlights!

I was fortunate enough to go to a school that (at the time) had the biggest greek system in the world, so we had a chapter of almost every GLO on our campus! Many of my comments are based on my personal experiences, so I hope I get things right!

Alpha Chi Omega: As a musician myself, I LOVE the respect for music. They had a gorgeous house on our campus.
Alpha Delta Pi: As an AOII, we were often confused with ADII, and this wasn't helped by the fact that your house was right behind ours! So, we felt kindred with ADIIs!
Alpha Epsilon Phi: Very successful on our campus - some of the friendliest women.
Alpha Gamma Delta: I had 2 good friends at AGD who taught me a lot about rush before I went through. Also, their house had a turret. How cool is that?
Alpha Omicron Pi: I could go on and on, but to start I love that we stuck to Greek ideals regarding crests. Our house at U of I is a historical landmark, and I think we really strove (and still strive I hope) to pledge unique women - no cookie cutters here. Also, our international expansion team is phenomenal.
Alpha Phi: One of my favorite people from high school is an Alpha Phi and that spoke volumes to me.
Alpha Sigma Alpha: They were very small at our campus, and really stood apart from the HUGE sororities in that they were so close with each other. It was very nice to see.
Alpha Sigma Tau: I like the anchor symbol
Alpha Xi Delta: I think they have closed at my campus, but they were awesome suring rush - completely unpretentious and friendly.
Chi Omega: I preffed Chi-O and love everything about them.
Delta Delta Delta: Back in 1987 or 1988 when U2 was HUGE, they came to U of I for a concert and afterwards Bono partied at the DDD house. AWESOME
Delta Gamma: They were our neighbors. Beautiful house. Donna Mills is a DG from U of I.
Delta Phi Epsilon: Founding at a professional school is cool
Delta Zeta: My best friend I ever had is a DZ from Iowa. She had no housing as a freshamn, and after she pledged, DZ let her move right into the house. They were the only group to offer her that option. It was very sweet.
Gamma Phi Beta: Only gamma group! Love that!
Kappa Alpha Theta: I have to respect Theta. They are so consistent around the country.
Kappa Delta: A girl from my rush group went KD and loved it.
Kappa Kappa Gamma: I love Kappa. I preffed Kappa back in 1987 and then my sisters both went Kappa at a different school later. They confirmed what I suspected all along - Kappas rock and they should be VERY proud of their organization. If it is true that you are only as strong as your weakest link, maybe Kappa is the strongest of all because their chapters are so strong.
Phi Mu: I love that they are sort of a "Southern" sorority, because many people think AOII is one too!
Phi Sigma Sigma: Very nice girls at our campus.
Pi Beta Phi: Love the history.
Sigma Delta Tau: The very first rush party I ever attended was at SDT so my first impression of Greek life and housing came from SDT.
Sigma Kappa: Like the new member badge.
Sigma Sigma Sigma: I don't think we had Tri-Sigs at my campus, but I helped AOII colonize at NSU and the Tri-Sigs there were very helpful!
Theta Phi Alpha:Great badge
Zeta Tau Alpha: I like the crown symbol

You forgot ADPi. :(

I hate being left out ;)

Oops. Sorry ADPi I forgot to put you guys.

Alpha Delta Pi - I met some of them at U of A. The girls are really sweet and kind and invited us to their house during a house tour. I also like that ADPi was the first womans group.

I have to say, that I am so happy to have stumbled across this topic. It has made my day to read what everyone has said that they like/love about my organization (Alpha Sigma Tau). I have also learned a lot about other organizations. I'm going to go through all of the organization websites later this weekend/week and then add on to it!

Re: my turn...
 

Just a random night time correction - Phi Sigma Sigma was the first, being founded in 1913, D Phi E was founded in 1917...

On March 17, 1917, five women at New York University Law School took a pledge of sisterhood and loyalty and so founded the Alpha Chapter of Delta Phi Epsilon, one of the first non-sectarian, social sororities and the only one founded at a professional school. -from the DPhiE website.

But hey, both of our orgs were deffinately making positive changes for women everywhere!

Ill do this thinger later with everyone - I dont have time right now...

but...

Phi Sigma Sigma - since my first semester in college, I have been IN LOVE with this organization. I had to go alumna early because I had some family/financial problems - but I took up advising positions since - and it has just opened so many doors for me!

Tau Beta Sigma - National Honorary Sorority for the Collegiate Band - I got nothin but love for T-B-SSSSSS! The spirit that this group shows is amazing. All of our chapters overcome obsticales and as our founder Wava said when asked if the turtle is our mascot. 'Our mascot should be the cockroach, because we are everywhere and you just cant get rid of us!'

Beta Sigma Phi - Much love to the organization that gives ANY woman the chance to be in a sorority. A fine organization founded because women needed education and connection during the depression - when many couldnt go to college. I love my chapter! PA NI!

Re: Re: my turn...
 

Maybe this will help. DPhiE was the first social non-sectarian sorority to be founded, whereas Phi Sigma Sigma (as you all know) was originally founded as a non-sectarian educational sorority. So we both had our firsts...;)

Re: Re: Re: my turn...
 

As far as I know we were not founded as an educational sorority. I have read our history a million gazillion times and do not ever remember reading that.

I was under the impression that Phi Sigma Sigma was originally an AES sorority? I could be wrong though, oh well!

Anyway there is a reason why that qualifier is on there in our history.

The only still existing AES sororities are ASA, SSS and AST. PSS was never in the AES.

Association of Educational Sororities
 

Pi Kappa Sigma, not Phi Sigma Sigma, was originally a member of AES.

Read more about AES here! :)

Since we only had 6 NPC's on my campus I've done some research online...


Alpha Chi Omega:I love your heritage, and how your name was chosen, that's really neat and that you share that is really special. Also Merideth Monroe is an A Chi O. (I'm a Dawson's Creek junky!)

Alpha Delta Pi: I love your rich history and on our campus, ADPi was always had the closest sisterhood. I loved that about them.

Alpha Epsilon Phi: The new UCF colony! YEA! Your crest is really neat, and I love your Jewish roots. (My friends and I have been studying Jewish Biblical history, so that's really interesting to me.)

Alpha Gamma Delta: A part of the Syracuse triad, gotta love that! And Survivor's AMBER was a AGD!! (yet another addiction! *LOL*)

Alpha Omicron Pi: My best friend is an AOTT ! It's funny because we just met a few years ago, and have been inseperable ever since. Of course, we totally bonded over our greek roots... :-) So I love AOTT!

Alpha Phi: Another member of the Syracuse triad...I really admire your creed.

Alpha Sigma Alpha: Aspire Seek Attain, very high ideals! And I love your inclusion of Christ. Being a Christian and a new church founder that is always wonderful to me!

Alpha Sigma Tau: AST is an official sorority, like Gamma Phi, and I love your ideals. Tradition seems to be an important part of AST, and that's so very important!

Alpha Xi Delta: I had many good friends in AZD in college. And the AZD house was conected to ours on campus (we shared dorm like houses). The girls were super sweet, and probably the most caring and kind girls on campus.

Chi Omega: I had several high school friends who went Chi O! They were such amazing girls, very smart and funny. And I love your purposes.

Delta Delta Delta: I live on the ocean and gotta love the dolphins! And I LOVE your website. The Deltas on my campus were always fun, although I only really knew a couple of them well, they seemed like they were always having fun together.

Delta Gamma: I love your symbol, and I've always heard such good things about DG!

Delta Phi Epsilon: You have a very interesting logo/symbol, and of course who doesn't love unicorns??

Delta Zeta: I love your philanthropy, and your badge is very pretty. There was a chapter at our "rival" school (Arkansas State) and I always heard great things about DZ.

Gamma Phi Beta: I'm a little biased, but the thing I love most about Gamma Phi, is what a wonderful legacy and what wonderful frienships it has brought into my life. I could go on and on... so I'll stop now. :-)

Kappa Alpha Theta: I love CASA, it's such a noble and worthy cause and does so much good for so many children.

Kappa Kappa Gamma : Your badge is really beautiful as is your website. It's neat that there are so many Kappa firsts!

Phi Mu: A beautiful creed, and a unique badge! (and colors ;-) Pink and white are my chapter's "informal colors")

Phi Sigma Sigma: I love your badge, and your symbol being the sphynix. I also like that you were the first nonsectarian sorority.

Pi Beta Phi: I have to say... I met a Pi Phi on a cruise once, and she was fantastic! She really impressed me, and we got along great!

Sigma Delta Tau: Your website is beautiful, and your colors and jewel are really really unique and beautiful!

Sigma Kappa: Your badge is really beautiful!

Sigma Sigma Sigma: The tri sigmas on my campus were a small tight-knit group. They were very positive and enthusiastic, and were always sending out cute notes and kind letters to all the chapters.

Theta Phi Alpha: Your history is very interesting and I love the use of the compass. It's unique and interesting.

Zeta Tau Alpha: Zeta has the prettiest colors, and unfortunately the chapter at Southeast Missouri State closed the year before my freshman year. I love the crown too, because all my friends call me "the princess" *lol*.

I'll post about the sororities that I know pretty well (there's only 5 on our campus, but I have friends in a few others at different schools!)

Delta Gamma -- On our campus, the DGs are some of the nicest girls I think you could ever meet. I also really admire the commitment to service.

Gamma Phi Beta -- My roommate was a Gamma Phi! She was a sweetheart. I like the motto (I think it's the motto...) of "Love, Labor, Learning, Loyalty."

Kappa Delta -- I've never once heard a KD saying bad things about another sister. They have great spirit and are always represented very well at Greek events...they show their pride for their organization and their support of each other very well!

Sigma Kappa -- We share the same flower :) One of my very good friends is a Sigma Kappa and I can tell you first hand how much time she devotes to her organization. All of the Sig K's I know are very dedicated. I think it is also a testament to their hardwork that they made quota through COR after falling short during formal recruitment. Good Job!

Alpha Delta Pi -- :D

Alpha Sigma Alpha -- I love the meaning of the letters... "Aspire, Seek, Attain."

Alpha Chi Omega -- My best friend since forever is pledging AChiO on her campus. She just loves it and could talk for hours about how nice and sincere the girls are.

Delta Delta Delta -- A friend of mine is the President at the Rose-Hulman chapter, so I'm kind of biased.. but I do like the symbolism of the Dolphin. It represents what sororities are about: friendship and leadership.

Phi Mu -- Founded at the same college, one year later! We share the mascot of a lion.

Pi Beta Phi -- I became friends at a Youth Leadership Conference with a girl who pledged Pi Phi on her campus! She is a great person who lives for other people and enjoys every second of life! I'm sure she represents this sisterhood very well!

Zeta Tau Alpha -- just recently found out that a girl I've gone to school with since preschool's Mom is a Zeta! She is a very kind and wise woman who has always been a big part of my life! She has always pushed me to do my best, I admire her a lot!

Alpha Chi Omega: The lyre, its also a symbol of TBS and has meaning to any musical person. Plus, your website is pimp.

Alpha Delta Pi:

Alpha Epsilon Phi: Jewish roots are super cool concidering that many of the Phi Sig founders were jewish and thats why they couldnt join the same org. Most of our past national presidents were jewish! PLUS your flower is beautiful.

Alpha Gamma Delta: There have been so many great AGDs Ive met. You all should come live in the Pittsburgh neighborhood called Squrriel Hill!

Alpha Omicron Pi: I like how your greek letters can be done with A O T T :) AOTT, hehe...

Alpha Phi: Yay for cool APhi's Ive met. Plus they're mentioned in a book I just read called "21". They were the 'pretty sorority' :)

Alpha Sigma Alpha: 33girl. Thats all I gotta say, shes awesome.

Alpha Sigma Tau: They were all really nice when I went through formal rush in 200 :)

Alpha Xi Delta: I love your teddy bears, they were my chapters mascot! I also like the presidents medallion thing... pretty neat!

Chi Omega: I wanted to be a Chi Omega when I was little - my grandpa's college had them...

Delta Delta Delta: I love that your letters are all symmetrical, Im so weird on symmetry. :)

Delta Gamma: I love the anchor - and you always hear about DGs doing great things!

Delta Phi Epsilon: I knew some nice DPhiE's on campus, we always ended up cheering for eachother during Greek Week because we had common rivals!

Delta Zeta: I was preffed by DZ and Phi Sig, I had some great friends in DZ! My cousin/boss was a DZ at my school.

Gamma Phi Beta: I LOVE YOUR COLORS, no really, I do. I used to do a "potty press" thing in my house with things on different sororites, and I fell in love with GPhiB!

Kappa Alpha Theta: You always hear about Kappa Alpha Theta when people mention sororities - so many great women have come from this org!

Kappa Kappa Gamma : I love the key, and your history!

Phi Mu: I met a really nice Phi Mu from Penn State through a friend, she was really nice and had funny stories about when the real southern Phi Mu's came to visit...

Phi Sigma Sigma: AHHHHHHHHHH, yes... I definately love this organization. I love our Sphinx, aka, George - the meaning behind everything we do... I love that we chose the NKF because at the time the second killer of women was kidney disease. I love what we do on Make A Difference Day and just the fact that we are growing... besides, my chapter is awesome, and so is the chapter I advise!

Pi Beta Phi: A girl I met online, then met in person in HS became a Pi Phi, and she is really great - such a good addition to the organization!

Sigma Delta Tau: I like how we were both in the same boat, having chosen one name, only to find it was used and have to change our orgs name! We were supposed to be Phi Sigma Omega!

Sigma Kappa: My small group leader at church was a Sigma Kappa - she is so nice... Plus your colors are pretty!

Sigma Sigma Sigma: The Tri Sigmas on our campus cheered with us for greek week too!

Theta Phi Alpha: I had a roomie and a friend in TPA, they were small on our campus, but really really great girls!

Zeta Tau Alpha: I love ZTA's philanthropy since my grandma is a survivor of breast cancer and my best friends mom passed away due to it! The ZTAs were really cool on our campus!

ahh we were left out again. LOL :)

First off I want to thank everyone for everything that has been said about Theta Phi, and since there are no other Theta Phis posting on this I will say something about all of the sororities I know...


Alpha Omicron Pi: Great bunch of girls... At UofL I can remember Always AOII from formal recruitment. I pledged but it wasn't for me at that time in my life, Theta Phi is my home. But I will always have this wierd obsession with Pandas LOL

Chi Omega: I knew some wonderful Chi Os, the girls were always nice and very welcoming.

Delta Delta Delta: I know one Tri-Delt and she couldn't be any sweeter.

Delta Gamma: I have the upmost respect for these girls... I love the anchor it makes you stay grounded and that is what you need sometimes in life.

Delta Zeta: What can I say about these girls, some of my best friends were/are DZ. Love the colors


Phi Sigma Sigma: These girls are down to earth and sincere in everything that they do

Pi Beta Phi: UofL chapter is awesome! Helped me after a few bad nights with the boys.


Sigma Kappa: I always get you girls mixed up with Kappa Sigma... I guess at times I have those moments... But I love you girls. One of your sisters drove me home when my car wouldn't work. Very close sisterhood


Theta Phi Alpha: Last but in my heart my absolute favorite. We have a sisterhood that may be smaller than everyone else but it is a sisterhood that was established for those people that were being put down. We will continue to get bigger because "Nothing great is ever achieved without much enduring" -St. Catherine of Sienna.


To everyone else that I left out I wish I knew more about you.

Well this thread has just made my day 10 times better. I'm very glad I found it!

Alpha Chi Omega - I love the music connections in your founding, music is so important! And of course, Christmas is my favorite holiday, so I LOVE the colors! I also read about why they chose the letters Alpha, Chi, and Omega, very interesting!

Alpha Delta Pi - A very strong southern sorority! A good friend of mine was an ADPi and she is such a lovely woman, and I really watched her grow through her sorority. I also like the motto "We live for each other"

Alpha Epsilon Phi - I love the "Many Hearts, One Purpose" motto, it really shows unity! And I absolutely love love LOVE that you're involved in Pediatric AIDS, it's just SO important!

Alpha Gamma Delta - It seems like y'all really encourage education, and I like that! The squirrel is just so cute too. I knew a woman who was an AGD and she was just the most adorable girl, and she truly loved her sisters!

Alpha Omicron Pi - One of my closest friends is an AOPi and she has maybe the best sense of humor of anyone I've ever met! I think it's very unique that you don't have a crest or shield. You can really hold your own.

Alpha Phi - My cousin is an Alpha Phi! I really watched her go from a shy unsure college freshman to one of the most admirable women I know. Lily-of-the-valleys are so lovely!

Alpha Sigma Alpha - We were founded at the same place! I love the symbol of the Phoenix - rising from the ashes. Very touching, and something that anyone that's faced adversity should aim for. I also like that you have exemplars, it's a very unique idea!

Alpha Sigma Tau - Habitat for Humanity is a great philanthropy, especially in light of recent events. I have never met an AST but I certainly would like to!

Alpha Xi Delta - I love the symbol of the quill, it's a great thing to live by! The Fuzzie bear is just SO cute! I also really like that you have a flag, that's a really great idea.

Chi Omega - I know so many women that are Chi O's and they are just amazing ladies! You have a very strong national which is very admirable. I always see owls as very wise, so you must be too, of course! ;) And who doesn't like the Make A Wish Foundation?

Delta Delta Delta - like someone else said I always think of that SNL skit! I absolutely love all of your symbols, the badge is absolutely beautiful! I know a few girls that are tridelts and they are just the most adorable girls. Children's philanthropies are important to me(obviously!) so Children's Cancer...I just can't say enough about that!

Delta Gamma - The anchor is a beautiful symbol! I just love nautical things. Helping the blind is something that I think is just too often overlooked, and it's great that you guys have that as your philanthropy!

Delta Phi Epsilon - It's great that you support those who have suffered through Anorexia. And the unicorn is an interesting mascot, I like it!

Delta Zeta - Lily Pulitzer ;) I just love pink and green! You guys also have a great philanthropy. I think the turtle symbol is just so cute too! My best friend from home is a DZ, so I've met many of her sisters and they're all fabulous!

Gamma Phi Beta - I like that your crest looks hand-drawn, it's beautiful. I like that your motto is "Founded Upon A Rock" - sounds like a strong sisterhood!

Kappa Alpha Theta - Laura Bush was a Theta and she's just so lovely. Every Theta I've ever met has just been amazing, and great company. I could spend HOURS talking to them!

Kappa Delta - well now I'm biased aren't I? :P I love everything my sorority's given me, so thank you to all my sisters out there! I love philanthropy, so I love that we have 4 of them!

Kappa Kappa Gamma - My aunt was a Kappa and she is a very inspiring and powerful woman. You guys are such a strong national so keep up the good work! The fleur-de-lis is very beautiful too.

Phi Mu - Pink! I love all of my Phi Mu friends and they absolutely adore Phi Mu! I really like the creed too, it's long but very significant.

Phi Sigma Sigma - I don't know a lot about Phi Sig so I had to do some research. It seems as though your vision and mission are ones that will be flexible into the future. Your founders must have been foward thinking!

Pi Beta Phi - I like the arrow, it's such a nice symbol. I like that there are 12 links on the badge for each of the founders - very touching. I like the Angel mascot too.

Sigma Delta Tau - I like the Torch symbol! And Prevent Child Abuse America is a good choice ;) I like that you were founded as a Jewish sorority and have become very strong, that's awesome!

Sigma Kappa - Alzheimer's is a great philanthropy and needs a lot of support, so good for you! A girl from the TV show Boy Meets World was a Sigma Kappa!

Sigma Sigma Sigma - I met a woman just last month who was a Sigma. One of the most genuine people! I like that the sailboat represents "progressing towards its destination."

Theta Phi Alpha - This is another sorority that I enjoyed learning about. I think it's interesting that you have badges for different stages of membership. And penguins are just so cute!

Zeta Tau Alpha - Stand Up Stand Out! Absolutely great girls, I think they truly support being a strong woman and not lowering your standards for others. I have a lot of respect for ZTA!

Well that's all I can think of for now!

Ok, I've wanted to do this for a while so here goes. Caveat: There were only 5 sororities on my campus so I don't know a lot about some of them, but I'll do my best!

Alpha Chi Omega- One of my best friends is an Alpha Chi and swears that had I rushed at her school, they're where I would have fit in the best. Whether or not that's true, I love the lyre and the history is so cool!

Alpha Delta Pi- My mom's an ADPi and I love the Ronald McDonald house as a philanthropy. Also, Alphie is a sweetie!

Alpha Epsilon Phi- "Many hearts, one purpose" makes me smile because it's similar to Sigma Kappa's "One heart, one way" and I am of course biased in that direction. Also, your support of the Chaim Sheba Medical Center is awesome for the hospital's non-discriminatory treatment. Something that is taken, mostly, for granted here and now.

Alpha Gamma Delta- Heraldry fascinates me, and your armorial bearings are, I think, the most subtle in their meanings. Plus, SQUIRRELS!

Alpha Omicron Pi- I love the "red" focus. Cardinal (color), Rose, Ruby... all deep gorgeous reds. Ok, and Pandas are cute too. (Since it's unofficially a mascot, would you consider the Red Panda?)

Alpha Phi- I like the Ursa Major, Phi bear connection! Plus you were the first to build your own house!

Alpha Sigma Alpha- Wow, knew nothing about ASA til now but the breadth of the symbolism is fantastic. I love the multiple exemplars and colors and everything. Plus the phoenix is very very cool to a mythology nerd like me.

Alpha Sigma Tau- I like the change from Fraternity to Sorority and that some chapters kept the first. I also like the candle atop your Coat of Arms. (Plus Green and Gold, plus the original purple makes Mardi Gras!)

Alpha Xi Delta- The quill is the sign of a scholar, something I respect greatly! Same as the motto "The Pen is Mightier than the Sword"

Chi Omega- The whole skull thing has always fascinated me, in that morbid way. So I am of course curious. Make a Wish foundation is a noble cause and one that can break your heart so kudos for ChiOs for their hard work.

Delta Delta Delta- My little sister just pledged! I have to say, the trident guard is really unique and cool, though I want to ask if that is more common than having a chapter guard or vice-versa?

Delta Gamma- Do Good is a fantastic motto and Hannah is cute! Also I think the fact that you have a real Delta Gamma rose (or at least had, hopefully you have again) is great!

Delta Phi Epsilon- I love that Justice is one of your principles. Also, I have a fondness for triangle badges and the color purple, but beyond that anorexia is a great philanthropy

Delta Zeta - My grandma is a DZ! She always said in school they were called the "dizzy" girls and it still makes me giggle! The lamp is a sign of wisdom, also to be admired!

Gamma Phi Beta- I think the set up of your colors is fascinating. The colors themselves are unique, but then the use of unofficial colors, chapter colors, etc is cool. Our campus used pink predominantly, though the DGs felt jealous!

Kappa Alpha Theta- Very cool looking badge! And I love the attitude of your founders, "If you won't initiate me into your fraternity, I'll start my own!" :)

Kappa Delta- First off, your Coat of Arms is so... complex! From the snake to the dagger to the one part of green to the lamp... very cool. (Oh yeah, and skull too!) I recently learned the nautilus shell is an example of a perfect spiral so I thought that was cool!

Kappa Kappa Gamma - What can I say, I think the key is cool, the focus on the blues is great, and as a (temporary) St. Louisian, I have quite the fondness for the fleur-de-lis.

Phi Mu- "Soeurs Fideles" and Sir Fidel is great! The quatrefoil symbol and badge are also unique and cool, and I was wondering if the ladybug comes from the look of the quatrefoil symbol in the middle of your coat of arms. I swear I can see a ladybug there!

Phi Sigma Sigma- First off, cool badge. The sphinx is a feminine symbol of cleverness and mystery and the sapphire's just stand out, going well with your colors. And need I mention that alleviating the world's pain is one of the coolest purposes/mottos I've seen? No, I needn't.

Pi Beta Phi - Something about the arrows has always intrigued me. And can you say, 12 founders? I'm glad I wasn't studying for that new member test! From the heraldry side, your crest is interesting in that it doubles as your coat of arms and is not standard in shape or content.

Sigma Delta Tau- Very interesting colors, and Prevent Child Abuse is a very worthy cause. I'd like to say more, but your site won't load :( Someone fix it!

Sigma Kappa - What can I say, where my heart is happiest. The dove, the pearl, the violet, the heart, lavendar, maroon... what could be better? Nothing! :)

Sigma Sigma Sigma- Sigma Kappa and Sigma Sigma Sigma have much outwardly in common, enough that people keep thinking we're related! While I know better, I love that we share the triangle badge and purple and the violet. Something always attracts me to Sigma Sigma Sigma and I wonder if in another life that's where I'd be... I also like that you have an official ceremonial song!


Theta Phi Alpha - The compass is a cool symbol, and penguins are absolutely adorable. I also like that there is a Catholic background to your fraternity.

Zeta Tau Alpha - Interesting choice of Themis and the carpenter's square also intrigues. I also think it's cool that though many sororities are fond of violets, you're the only one with a white violet!

Alpha Chi Omega-the lyre is so cool!

Alpha Delta Pi-they have a wonderfully designed site and i love their flower.

Kappa Kappa Gamma-the key for the badge is very different than many of the other groups.

Phi Mu-great group of women who didn't get stuff in the 'sorority woman' stereotype.

Phi Sigma Sigma-my big sister was a phi sig. her sisters are great.

Pi Beta Phi-literacy-GREAT PHILANTHROPY!!

Sigma Delta Tau-really cool badge

Sigma Kappa-my GA when i was an RA in undergrad was a SK and she was a sweetheart and a hardworker

Delta Gamma - I love the anchor and the fact that you have a brother fraternity.

Actually, we don't really, not officially. And, for many of our chapters TKE or Sigma Chi are basically brother fraternities. I'm sure other NPCs are in the same boat!
Thanks though!
