I work in my school's library. There's 2 Pikes, a Chi O, and there used to be a Que but I think he quit. And then me of course. :D

I have no idea why this got me excited! I may know her.

MeLikey 11-04-2003 10:51 PM

I work with a Phi Sigma Sigma.

AGDee 12-18-2003 03:07 PM

I just found out that one of the most prominent researchers in my department (and head of our department) is a Gamma Phi Beta. I talked to her about it and we ended up in a 30 minute discussion about sororities and how we have tried to "rush" our student interns (including her own daughter) and they have NO interest in joining a sorority. Anyway.. She is a dynamic, extremely intelligent woman who is doing internationally reknowned research on allergies and asthma and GPBs should be proud to call her their sister!

I was excited that she was from the Syracuse Triad!

Glitter650 12-18-2003 03:33 PM

My boss is a Gamma Phi she graduated from the Berkely chapter :D

aggieAXO 12-18-2003 04:03 PM

2 other vets I work with are greek- a tri-delt and a theta

ADPiAkron 12-18-2003 04:03 PM

She does not work for the same organization I do...but we work in the same office....so an office sharer that is a Delta Gamma!

xo_kathy 12-18-2003 05:53 PM

I don't think I posted this before...

I had to go on someone's computer here a few weeks ago and I saw a "SigEp" folder in his email. I asked him about it and he is an alum from Syracuse! Still quite involved, too.

There's a guy here who went to LSU so I keep meaning to ask him. Most of the women went to small artsy colleges which didn't have greek systems. Although I had a suspision about one woman being a Theta Phi Alpha b/c she has penguin stuff all over!!! But there is no TPA chapter at the school she went to!!! :)

PrettyPetite 12-18-2003 07:46 PM

There are a ton of people in GLO's at my job....

I have two sorors at my job, my mentor is an AKA, my boss is an AKA, the media specialist is a Delta, I know of one Alpha, 1 Kappa, and a handful of Omegas....

docdaisy 12-18-2003 10:48 PM

I work for a division of American Express... they decided to create a new department and gathered people from various offices throughout the country to start it (I am one of them). There are 10 of us:

1 Delta Sigma Phi
1 Alpha Phi Alpha
1 Sigma Phi Epsilon
1 Delta Kappa Epsilon
AND...

6 Delta Zetas!!!!!!

I can't believe that every woman in our department is my sister and we are all from different chapters!! We all joke that we should start department meetings by reciting the DZ Creed!!

Tippiechick 12-18-2003 11:00 PM

When I was a staff member on the Gore 2000 campaign, the Asst. Volunteer Coordinator was an AOPi from Ohio State I believe. One of my interns was an AOPi from Vanderbilt. And, another intern there was a Sigma Chi.

I KNOW the other interns were almost all Greek, but those are the ones tht come to mind.

Most of the other staff members seemed to be the type who would be "above" joining a GLO. That sounds bad. But, you could tell they thought less of me for being a staff member/sorority girl. :rolleyes: Just goes to show that stereotypes are still alive and well.

All the rest belong to GDI

What does GDI stand for???:confused:

In my workplace, there are only two greeks...an Alpha Kappa Alpha and a Sigma Nu.

Paradise359 12-18-2003 11:20 PM

My boss is an Alpha
Another guy is an Omega

... or "Independent".

DeltaSigStan 01-12-2004 06:54 PM

At my new job (SDSU Alumni):

*One ADPi
*One Sigma Alpha Zeta (Multicultural sorority)
*One "The Journey" member (What was Phi Kappa Theta before they were expelled last Fall, so they call themselves that now)

sairose 01-16-2004 05:45 PM

*BUMP*

Wow, this is SO COOL that I just had to bump this thread up to post this! :D

So I've worked in the library at my university for about a year. I work in Interlibrary Loan, but I know everyone that works in the library. At the library Christmas party, one of the ladies that works in Reference came up to me (I was wearing letters) and informed me that she, too, is an SAI!! :D She was in a chapter up north. Now she will soon be affiliating with the local alum chapter.

cutiepatootie 01-18-2004 10:16 PM

I was interviewed at a law firm the other day and the attorney interviewing me ( yeah small firm) said his wife was a Alpha Phi ( i have it listed on my resume) ...though he didnt say if he was greek or not. :confused:

GeekyPenguin 01-18-2004 11:01 PM

As I think I posted earlier in the thread, my advisor who is also my professor again this semester is an Acacia from Alabama. My Theo professor was alumni initiated into Phi Kappa Theta at Marquette when they were still open.

As for at my "workplace," there's a Chi Omega from Wisconsin and an Alpha Phi from Marquette. One of the girls is also very interested in pursuing membership in a BGLO, but I obviously can't say much more than that. ;)

HotDamnImAPhiMu 01-18-2004 11:40 PM

newest count among the waitstaff & hosts:

* 2 Sigma Chi (George Mason Univ.)
* 1 Phi Mu (me) (Virginia Commonweath Univ.)
* 1 Alpha Omicron Pi (George Mason Univ.)
* 1 Gamma Phi Beta (George Mason Univ.)
* 1 Alpha Xi Delta (George Mason Univ.)
* 1 Delta Zeta (Longwood)

The1calledTKE 01-18-2004 11:47 PM

The only co-worker I know of that is greek is an AXO

HotDamnImAPhiMu 01-19-2004 02:19 AM

being interviewed by the husband of a sister can only be good, methinks!

cutiepatootie 01-19-2004 12:25 PM

Me Too! :D

DeltAlum 01-19-2004 01:00 PM

Fifty percent of our company is Greek.

Of course there are only two of us in the company.

SiKeS 02-01-2004 04:19 PM

I lifeguard at a really nice private pool called Wilson's Beach Club..

I was extremely yet pleasantly surprised at how many greeks worked there...

There were probably about 40 guards plus front desk workers, 90% of them out of high school were members of a fraternity or sorority...

I started working there the summer before senior year in high school, so everyone was a GREAT source of information.. Since I knew close to absolutely nothing about greek life.. Very cool.

ZTAngel 02-20-2004 12:48 PM

I wore my ZTA windbreaker to work today. I didn't think anyone in my office was greek. My boss came over to me and said, "I didn't know you were a Zeta." He told me that he was a Phi Kappa Theta at the University of Missouri- Columbia back in the late 50's/early 60's.

I'm an attorney now and one of my interviews (who later became a close work friend!) was also an Alpha Phi....people at my firm don't tend to discuss affiliations, but I have discovered that in addition to us two Alpha Phis, we have a Kappa and a Pi Phi!

blueGBI 02-25-2004 10:23 AM

Updated list

1 AFW (me!) :cool:
2 AFW pledges :cool:
1 KS
1 SAI
1 SFE :cool:
3 DKE

and a ton of anti-greek GDIs :mad:

Senusret I 02-25-2004 10:28 AM

I've been working as a substitute teacher at one particular school for a while now, and here is our Greek breakdown:


One Alpha. ME!

Two AKA's, the speech and language pathologist and the Pre-K teacher.

Two Deltas, 3rd and 4th grade teachers.

The rest (surprisingly for the DC Public Schools) are not Greek.

ztabchbum 02-25-2004 08:08 PM

I just started a new job about a month ago and I just found out tonight that one of my managers is a TKE and my boyfriend's manager is a Pike! :)

Sister Havana 10-23-2004 04:20 PM

One of the other girls in my training class at work is a KD.

nolesaw 10-24-2004 09:36 AM

We have a bunch of greeks at the school where I work ...

Alpha Gam
Kappa Kappa Gamma
Pi Phi
Delta Zeta
Delta Sigma Theta
Alpha Chi
Phi Mu
Tau Beta Sigma

2 Sig Ep
TKE
SAE

I am sure there are more lurking out there!

We used to have another Alpha Gam, DG, Tri Delt, another Sig ep.....


we thought about having a "GLO" day...but we never did!

Senusret I 10-24-2004 11:24 AM

Update:

We lost the speech pathologist, but I found out another teacher is an AKA. We also gained a Delta special ed teacher!

ShaedyKD 10-24-2004 03:30 PM

At the law firm, we currently have a Greek popluation of:
4 KDs (One partner!)
1 ADP
1 LCA
1 DSP

We also used to work with 2 AOPs and a BQP, but they all went to work somewhere else :( We miss them!

At my old job, we had about 5 DDDs working there at one point, then the KDs started taking over. ;) At one point, I think I had 6 sisters working there with me! (I was the first though, and got them all jobs! Another positive aspect of Greek Life - networking!)

gamma_girl52 10-25-2004 09:11 AM

I forgot about this thread!

I have since found a new job :D (still at my alma mater) and the Greek population is small now:

1 Gamma Sig (that would be me)
3 Kappas (KAPsi)
1 Alpha Phi Alpha
1 AKA (she's a PhD student)

There are probably more lurking around here but my department is huge!

KSigkid 10-25-2004 09:41 AM

One of my old bosses is an AEPhi. That's about it.

_Lisa_ 10-25-2004 09:52 AM

I know that there are many Greeks in my work place but I haven't really taken the time to find out who belongs where! The only person that I know of for sure is a Delta Sigma Theta! And I only know because she wanted me to bring back an elephant from India because that is their mascot!

OleMissGlitter 10-25-2004 10:49 AM

Update to mine, be/c I'm pretty sure I did this one before...

Director (he's new)-- Phi Delta Theta

(FYI--The Chancellor of Ole Miss and the Dean of Students and my boss are all Phi Delta Theta Alumni from Ole Miss)

Everyone else:

Alpha Kappa Alpha
Phi Kappa Psi
Kappa Kappa Gamma
Pi Kappa Alpha
Sigma Phi Epsilon
Beta Theta Pi
Alpha Omicron Pi
Delta Kappa Epsilon

AEPhiSierra 10-26-2004 03:39 PM

Just started my new job and already discovered a co-worker who is an SAE!

queequek 10-26-2004 06:10 PM

Not so much at my place (considering there are 150+ employees). I work for an architecture firm, so that is my excuse (since not so many architects are Greek, we *supposedly* don't have time for anything else outside studio.

- Lambda Chi Alpha (Clemson) --> he was an IFC president back in 2002, I believe
- Pi Kappa Phi (Clemson), one of the founding fathers
- Pi Kappa Phi (Clemson), just another Pi Kapps
- Alpha Chi Omega (GA Tech)
- Phi Mu (not sure the college she went to)
- Chi Omega (Clemson)
