NPC Sorority Challenge
In the spirit of fraternalism (must be all the greek love from the GC Pittsburgh gathering earlier this evening) and in total opposition to the "who's the best sorority" threads, I'm challenging Greekchatters (specifically the female NPCers) to say something good about EVERY NPC sorority. Not just yours, not just the ones on your campus. All of them.
If you don't know anything about a sorority- go to their website and find something you like or admire about them! It can be something as silly as loving their colors to something much deeper- like having a particularly touching experience with one of the groups. I would've a done a fraternity version of this, but there's just way too many. At least by limiting it to NPCs there's only 26. Just thought this would be something nice, and positive! Especially going into rush season we need to remember the values of fraternalism! I'll do my list in the AM Here's a handy list of all of them, for your cut and paste reference: Alpha Chi Omega Alpha Delta Pi Alpha Epsilon Phi Alpha Gamma Delta Alpha Omicron Pi Alpha Phi Alpha Sigma Alpha Alpha Sigma Tau Alpha Xi Delta Chi Omega Delta Delta Delta Delta Gamma Delta Phi Epsilon Delta Zeta Gamma Phi Beta Kappa Alpha Theta Kappa Delta Kappa Kappa Gamma Phi Mu Phi Sigma Sigma Pi Beta Phi Sigma Delta Tau Sigma Kappa Sigma Sigma Sigma Theta Phi Alpha Zeta Tau Alpha |
Some sororities, I really didn't know much about (lack of exposure, etc.). I don't want anyone to feel like I couldn't come up with anything "meaningful" for some groups - I just don't have a lot of knowledge about the various sororities - though I'd love to learn! Sorry if it's short and repetitive. I'm tired!
Alpha Chi Omega - I love their musical heritage and I have a lot of respect for an Alpha Chi alumna, Condoleeza Rice. I also like their colors and their badge is beautiful. Alpha Delta Pi - I like the motto, "We live for each other". I love the concept of "Prides". Alpha Epsilon Phi - The giraffe is cute and unique. The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation is a great cause. Alpha Gamma Delta - I love the roses and colors. Very respectable philanthropy. Alpha Omicron Pi - I think it's cool how their one color represents their jewel (love rubies), their flower and color. And their HQ is near me :) I also hold their philanthropy close to my heart. Alpha Phi - I've always heard great things about Alpha Phis. The colors are very classy and I like the flowers. Alpha Sigma Alpha - I like how each color represents a value. The celebrations for Christmas, V-Day and Hermes Day are unique and refreshing. Alpha Sigma Tau - Yellow roses are beautiful. Since I have worked a great deal with emotionally disturbed children, I'm quite partial to their philanthropy. Alpha Xi Delta - Lovely pink roses, like our flower. Choose Children is wonderful, as are the colors ;) Chi Omega - I've met many wonderful Chi Omegas. Delta Delta Delta - Tri-Delt always seems to have a great legacy. I like how the pearl, tree and pansy represent each phase of membership. The dolphin is very cool ;) Great motto. Delta Gamma - I like the anchor, founder's watch word, cream roses, "Do Good" Delta Phi Epsilon - "Dedication, Pride Excellence". Very impressed with ANAD Delta Zeta - I'm biased, I love it all :) Gamma Phi Beta - Great reputation Kappa Alpha Theta - Many respectable alumnae (Love Laura Bush) and I've always thought the kite was unique. I work a lot with CASA workers and find them amazing. Kappa Delta - The KD's on my campus were always fun and wonderful women. I respect their philanthropy of preventing child abuse. I love that they came up with Women's Friendship Day. Kappa Kappa Gamma - Another strong, respected sorority. Phi Mu - Love the colors and southern tradition. Phi Sigma Sigma - Beautiful sapphire. I like the twin ideals. After reading about the sphinx, I thought that was pretty neat. Pi Beta Phi - Strong group of women with strong history. I've always liked the arrow. Literacy is an awesome and worthy cause. Sigma Delta Tau - Again, prevention of child abuse is a great philanthropy. Sigma Kappa - I worked with a great SK. Beautiful colors. I think their badge is pretty, too. Sigma Sigma Sigma - Symbolism of the sailboat Theta Phi Alpha - The penguin is awesome! I can only speculate about the symbolism of the compass, but my speculation makes it pretty neat. ;) Zeta Tau Alpha - Great motto and I love strawberries ;) I like what Themis stands for. Susan G. Komen is an awesome cause. They always do awesome work for that. *sigh* I was hoping to be more reflective than I was, but I'm exhausted. Maybe I'll come up with something better tomorrow.... |

I have lots of good memories of playing games with the sisters when I was a kid and singing along with the cheers! I also think that the work that ZTA does for Breast Cancer Awareness is awesome! |
Danielle,
Thanks for starting this thread! After examining the different sororities national websites, I realized that I really didn't know much of anything about most of the NPC sororities (besides the ones that were on my campus). This is what I've come to learn about the sororities: Alpha Chi Omega-Having a special day (Hera Day) to do service projects and help others is a wonderful idea! Alpha Delta Pi- As this is my sorority, I won't comment on everything I love about it! :) Alpha Epsilon Phi- I love their open motto: Many hearts, one purpose Alpha Gamma Delta- I love the idea of rose sisters (alumnae in areas with no organized Alpha Gamma Delta chapter or club) Alpha Omicron Pi- I love the tradition of the draping of the badge for sisters who have passed away as a sign of mourning. Alpha Phi- The first organization to use traveling delegates (consultants for other sororities)...thank you so much for starting this!!! Alpha Sigma Alpha- I love the four exemplars whose lives personify the ideals of the sorority Alpha Sigma Tau- I love the philanthropy of Pine Mountain Settlement School...not something that is known by everyone, but such an important place! Alpha Xi Delta- I love how each chapter has the flexibility to look in their community and decide how they can best benefit kids Chi Omega- I think it is so awesome that they had a male founder! It's not something I would have ever thought happened Delta Delta Delta- I love the program they sponsor (along with Alpha Chi Omega) called Kristin's Story....an important topic that needs to be addressed with collegians Delta Gamma- I love that during World War I they helped fund a Belgian orphanage and opened the Delta Gamma House for Children in Holland Delta Phi Epsilon- I love the idea behind the PEARL program, where they have experiences in five areas: sisterhood, scholarship, service, social, and self Delta Zeta- I love the fact that they have so much pride in their badge, that nationals has said (on their website) that if a bbadge is found on ebay or anywhere like that, if the member buys it and sends the badge with the receipt they will be reimbursed (not that I care about the money, but I think it would be wonderful if other sororities did the same thing) Gamma Phi Beta- The chapter at my university was so proud to be Gamma Phi Beta's that they would go out regularly and "chalk" the campus with spirited messages, so EVERYONE saw them when walking to class Kappa Alpha Theta- I love how their mission statement includes yesterday, today, and tomorrow...a true vision of involvement within a sorority Kappa Delta- The KD's at my university were the sweetest women on campus...no one had a problem with them and they were proud to wear their letters around campus and eat together as a large group Kappa Kappa Gamma- The KKG's at my campus were very involved in many organizations such as student government and other student organizations. Phi Mu- I love that they were founded at the same university as ADPi...those Georgian girls sure knew how to start some wonderful groups! Phi Sigma Sigma- I love that they were the first to be open to diverse membership with no biases. Pi Beta Phi- These were the most enthusiastic and energetic group on my campus! They were the first to volunteer for other organizations philanthropies, and were usually the loudest cheerers when getting ready for recruitment rounds to begin Sigma Delta Tau- I love that their philanthropy is Prevent Child Abuse America...a very important issue and one that deserves recognition Sigma Kappa - I love that we share our official flower...the violet! :) Sigma Sigma Sigma- I love the tradition of the doll collection, where a new chapter at installation will dress a doll in the fashion of the year that it was installed. Theta Phi Alpha - I love how their symbol is the compass...a true representation of the paths we take after college. Zeta Tau Alpha- I love how there is a chain link of all the chapters...what a neat tradition! :) This is something that I want to remember always...to admire the other organizations that are a part of the NPC....each sorority is important and has much to offer to the world of sororities on college campuses. |
I've always had interests in all of the sororities. What a fun activity!
*Sorry if I'm mistaken on anything I've typed!* Alpha Chi Omega- I've always been fond of Alpha Chi. I have some very close friends who's A-Chi-O's. Plus, I love their badge! (Oh, and Alpha Chi was also founded at DePauw!) Alpha Delta Pi- I love their motto! "We live for each other." Alpha Epsilon Phi- I never knew the giraffe was chosen as the mascot because it had the largest heart! :) Alpha Gamma Delta- I love the idea of Junior Circles. This is a program "designed to help make the transition from collegiate life to lifelong alumnae involvement." Alpha Omicron Pi- I love red roses! (Jacqueminot Rose) I was also impressed that over 1 million dollars has been raised since '67 for the Arthritis Foundation and Canadian Arthritis Society. Alpha Phi- Again, I have so many friends who are Phi's. Every Phi I've met, even from different campuses, have been so genuine and sweet. Plus I love their teddy bears and ivy! Alpha Sigma Alpha- I found it interesting that ASA has different days that their members celebrate. These are Founder's Day, Christmas Celebration, St. Valentine's Day, and Herme's Day. Each of these four days has different colored ribbons that are to be worn under the badge. Alpha Sigma Tau- I love the AST shield. It's very dignified! Alpha Xi Delta- During the previous recruitment I was a recruitment counselor. Right before we handed out bids we had a huge group meeting with everyone who participated. During this time an Alpha Xi Delta alum came and talked to us, and it really inspired me! Chi Omega- I was surprised to find out one of their founders was a man. Plus I really do like the badge as well. Delta Delta Delta- My counsin is a Tri-Delt. She helped inspire me to rush in the first place. Besides, I think their badge is so unique and beautiful! Delta Gamma- I knew this before, but I always thought it was interesting how earlier DG members wore an "H" before the anchor was adopted! I also wanted to add that one of my fellow DG rho chi friends helped open my eyes about greek unity. :) Delta Phi Epsilon- I've never seen a crest like theirs! It's so unique! Delta Zeta- I never knew there were DZ chapters in the United Kingdom! Gamma Phi Beta- I really admire their vision statement, especially when it supports cultural diversity! Kappa Alpha Theta- Theta was founded at DePauw, which is not far from where I live! Plus, one of my favorite profs is a Theta. She's inspired me so much in my chosen career. Kappa Delta- KD sponsers National Women's Friendship Day, which falls on Sept. 21 this year! Kappa Kappa Gamma- Yeah for the Monmouth Duo! It's silly, but blue is my favorite color. Therefore, you know I love that Kappa uses two shades of blue for their colors. Phi Mu- The Children's Miracle Network is their philanthropy, and they try to raise $500,000 each year. Phi Sigma Sigma- I've always loved the Phi Sig badge. It's very unique compared to the other badges of NPC. Pi Beta Phi- I'm a Pi Phi! Pi Phi has influenced me so much over these past few years. Besides, I love how my birthday falls on founder's day! Sigma Delta Tau- I like their jewel, which is the Lapis Lazuli. I've never heard of it before, but it looked very pretty on the website! Sigma Kappa- I love that their philanthropy is to help the eldery and aging people. Sigma Sigma Sigma- Every installed chapter must dress a doll in the fashion of the time it was created. The doll collection is located in the Mabel Lee Walton House. How cute is this idea?? Theta Phi Alpha- I think it's so unique that the compass is their chosen mascot! Zeta Tau Alpha- Strawberries were chosen as the mascot (?)because someone sent a pack of strawberries to the ZTA founders. I also noticed that the "Zeta" prayer is sung before meals. I found this particularly interesting because before now I've never heard of any other orgs doing this besides Pi Phi. |
Alpha Chi Omega- LOVE the badge and the musical theme plus I just think being able to say "I'm an A Chi O sounds really good"
Alpha Delta Pi- They were first =) they opened the door for our other organizations to have ideas and get started... and I spent a week on the A D PI wing of Mtn. View hall at Northern AZ U with my friend and had a great time so the org is close to my heart Alpha Epsilon Phi- I love their open motto: Many hearts, one purpose Alpha Gamma Delta- I must say I think yoru purpose is BEAUTIFUL ! Very jealous of that as my org. doesn't have a poetic "creed or symphony or Purpose" I love the idea of rose sisters Alpha Omicron Pi- Interesting that they don't have a crest and I think using red for everything really makes a statement and helps people to remember them I'm sure during recruitment Alpha Phi- At least around here Alpha Phi has a chapter EVERYWHERE very impressive very classy colors and cute teddy bear mascot !! Alpha Sigma Alpha- I think the 4 exemplars is a very cool thing... Alpha Sigma Tau- Neat that they have a pin to commerate when you have been a member for 25 and 50 years Alpha Xi Delta- First I just have to say gotta love they are the only NPC to use the letter Xi which I think is one of the coolest looking letters Chi Omega- They seem to really emphasize scholarship and the owl is a nifty mascot Delta Delta Delta- Their Life loyal program seems a great way to keep alum involved.. instead of just traditional alum chapters. (If I understand what it is completely) and HOW COOL is the travel thing where national sets up trips for sisters ???!! SOOOOO very jealous of that !!!!!!!!!!!! If any of you Tri Delts are going on the California waterways trip HAVE fun all of those places are GREAT ! Delta Gamma- I met THE coolest DGs at a greek event at UC Berkely and they were super nice to the few of us that were there and treated us like visiting sisters even though we were just "NPC sisters" Delta Phi Epsilon- Pearl program seems really neat Delta Zeta- Their badge is SOOO pretty !!!! I also like the creed and all the senioritis presentation on the site.... SOO helpful because I know A LOT of chapters have absent senior syndrome. Gamma Phi Beta- Cool that they are one of the few NPCs that are incorperated as a "sorority" Kappa Alpha Theta- Their colors/ flower/badge all the girls I've met just SCREAM class and elegance... Kappa Delta- Kappa Kappa Gamma- I am in awe of KKGs national recognition/reputation outside of the greek system... I mean 9 times out of ten if there is a Sorority mentioned on TV or in a movie it's gonna be Kappa... Phi Mu- quadrafoils are neat !! Phi Sigma Sigma- The thing that makes me proudest to be a Phi Sig is that we were the first organization to be FOUNDED with the idea that ANY woman could join. Pi Beta Phi- The leading with values program seems VERY cool and their whole website is very well put together and gives TONS of information. Sigma Delta Tau- Interesting how the founders kind of represent the things that the members try to attain scholastic, social philanthropy... etc... Sigma Kappa - the snake makes me curious and I LOVE purple Sigma Sigma Sigma- The sailor theme intrigues me, I also have a soft spot in my heart for them because we used to have a chapter on our campus but it closed about 3 years ago. Theta Phi Alpha - I like the way their philanthropy works very good to have it specialized.. but yet able for the chapter to work within their own community as well. Zeta Tau Alpha- What girl wouldn't be proud and to be wear a crown !! _________________ Wow that took me longer than I thought.. since we only have three NPCs on my campus I had to visit most of the websites to find out more than what the badge and colors were .. (which I actually have memorized hehe I'm the BIGGEST DORK !! ) but it's great to see ohters' ideas and what they offer ! SUCH A GREAT THREAD IDEA it's like a snap cup for the whole org. instead of individual people hehe !! |
Now that i've had a good night's sleep I can actually answer my own thread. I'm glad you all like the idea. :D
Alpha Chi Omega - i love the "fact of the day" on their website. I think it's neat that the group formed around a mutual love-music, but has grown so much. Alpha Delta Pi - I like the way "prides" work. Alpha Epsilon Phi - I like the pearl system. I think that accomplishing certain things and meeting goals on your way to becoming a sister is really important. Alpha Gamma Delta - all the AGDs that i've ever met or talked to have been really sweet and great women. Alpha Omicron Pi- whenever I was a newer member of the greek community, I would see their letters and think that the letters were KD related because they kind of spelled out "AOT". Hehe, i was sorta wrong. Their website is really pretty and classy. Alpha Phi- their online community appears to be a really detailed, great resource for alumnae. It's always nice to see a group embrace technology when so many are semi-resistant to it. Alpha Sigma Alpha- I like that it's open knowledge that one of ASA's meanings is "Aspire, Seek, Attain". Simple and powerful. Alpha Sigma Tau - I like how they seem to have a lot of national awards surrounding academics- like recognizing members who receive a 4.0, and an award for academics for 1 person from each chapter. Alpha Xi Delta - the pink rose is so pretty. Also, I thought it was kind of cool that there's a separate colony pin that they use instead of the normal new member pin when establishing a colony. Chi Omega- I admire how strong and large they are, especially because they're not one of the oldest groups. Delta Delta Delta- I love their colors. Their name-familiarity is awesome- everyone's heard of Delta Delta Delta Delta Gamma - Anchor Splash is such a well known event! Delta Phi Epsilon- their work with eating disorders is a really important philanthropy, especially for college students and also sorority women. Delta Zeta - they have such a strong alumnae support system at our school, it's amazing. They've been around and been a strong chapter for a long time. Gamma Phi Beta- they work with Camp Fire Girls much like KD works with Girl Scouts. Kappa Alpha Theta- they have such accomplished alumnae. I wish they would come back to Pitt. Kappa Delta- hehe, i'm sorta biased on this one. I love our new programming that's going to be coming out, and I love all of our philanthropies, especially Prevent Child Abuse America and Girl Scouts. But i'm especially proud of the tons of scholarship money we give out to our sisters. Our national organization as a whole seems to put together and stable. Kappa Kappa Gamma - I LOVE their colors. They've always been a really strong and admired group on my campus. Phi Mu- they have a lot of great membership education programming Phi Sigma Sigma - their pin is much different that any other GLO that i've seen. Although whenthe eyes are jeweled the sphinx sorta scares me! :) The Vision program sounds great! Pi Beta Phi - over 1200 members attended their convention this year! That's awesome! Sigma Delta Tau- their chapter on my campus has always gotten along quite well with my chapter, despite how different we are. Which is good, because you don't want to hate the group that has the floor above you! Sigma Kappa - i like the one star, two star, three star chapter recognition Sigma Sigma Sigma - gotta have love for the Farmville 4. The doll collection is really neat! Theta Phi Alpha - their national convention next year is at the Omni William Penn in Pittsburgh!!!!!!!!! see what you learn when you visit webpages! :) Zeta Tau Alpha- i love the crown symbol. Even outside whatever it's official meaning is, having a 5 point symbol could be so useful in so many activities. Whew, this took a little longer than i thought it would |
I am not too farmilliar with many sororities, I have only been involved in greek life since March. But I will visit all the pages and give great comments.
Alpha Chi Omega- I was reading about how their came to the name Alpha Chi Omega and thought that it was really cool. Alpha Delta Pi- I like the Prides concept. A good way to keep girls more closely bonded. Alpha Epsilon Phi- The website was somewhat underconstruction, but I think their values are great. Alpha Gamma Delta- They were founded May 30, the day befoer my b-day! OK that doesnt count!!! I think it is cool that they were founded on a recommendation for MORE organizations on campus. Not a very common thing for a college. Alpha Omicron Pi- I like how all of their symbols are red; ruby, cardinal, the rose, etc. Alpha Phi- I like that their badge is simple. Its pretty and different. Alpha Sigma Alpha- I think it is pretty cool how they received help from TriDelt's past president to help them rebuild their org. I also think it is cute that they limited their chapters to teaching colleges at one time. Alpha Sigma Tau- I love their philanthropy, I am going to be a teacher, so when I see philanthropies involving children I am happy. Alpha Xi Delta- I like their bear mascot, its so cute! AXiD is at my school, but I dont know any of them as of yet! I looked into them when I was beginning to become interested in GLOs. Chi Omega- Cool looking badge. Their mascot is my school's mascot! Delta Delta Delta- Life Loyal is a cool program. I like the dolphin mascot. I have always liked the TriDelt name, to me it seems to flow well. Delta Gamma- They have some beautiful houses!! Alot of TV/Movie personalities! Delta Phi Epsilon- My best friend is a DPhiE at Emory University. They are also one of the sororities at my school. I think they have beautiful colors and wonderful girls! Delta Zeta- They have a DZ museum! Thats so great! Kappa Alpha Theta- The kite is pretty. Kappa Delta- Another great philanthropy, children :) Kappa Kappa Gamma- I have met a couple Kappas and they were all such sweet girls. I dont know too much about their org though. Phi Mu- Pink, my favorite color! I know one Phi Mu and she is so nice. Phi Sigma Sigma- My favorite. My sorority. I love it ALL! Pi Beta Phi- I know one of them but I dont think that she is a good representation of the org. I know they they have many wonderful girls and I think their colors are beautiful. Sigma Delta Tau- Really cool badge and pretty flower! Sigma Kappa- More pretty colors!! Sigma Sigma Sigma- First NPC with a chapter in Alaska, thats awsome! Awsome new member pin. Theta Phi Alpha- Another one of the sororities at my school. Cute penguin, I kknow one of them from HS. Zeta Tau Alpha- The crown is so pretty. I think its cool how the founder of Hallmark used a crown because his wife was a ZTA. I really enjoyed this because it caused me to check out all these orgs pages. Now I know more about each one! |
Alpha Chi Omega - they're our partners with Kristen's Story, date rape and depression is very serious and everyone should be aware.
Alpha Delta Pi - I like that New Members are Alphas, Collegiates are Deltas and Alums are Pis Alpha Epsilon Phi - pediactric AIDS is such a worthy cause Alpha Gamma Delta - they have a chapter in Hawaii, so cool! Hawaii is such a beautiful state Alpha Omicron Pi - I love how elegant their website is Alpha Phi - I've met a lot of Alpha Phis on the internet and I am so impressed on how much they love their organization Alpha Sigma Alpha - Your celebrations tradition with the ribbions Alpha Sigma Tau - we share a bond with Sarah Ida Shaw! And I love your colors Alpha Xi Delta - I like the idea of the colony pin too Chi Omega - I am so impressed on how big Chi-O is Delta Delta Delta - I love everything about Tri Delt! But what I love most is how much we give to the kids at St. Jude's Delta Gamma - they have their own flower - the Delta Gamma rose Delta Phi Epsilon - one of my best freinds is a D Phi E at CW Post and she tells me such wonderful things about D Phi E "Dedication Pride Excellence" Delta Zeta - the senioritis presentation is amazing Gamma Phi Beta - the crescent moon! Kappa Alpha Theta - the new Greek Advisor at Adelphi is a Theta from Maryland and she turned the whole Greek system around, and of course - Pansies! Kappa Delta - they work with Girl Scouts which is so cool, I loved being a GS way back when! Kappa Kappa Gamma - I just noticed that Kappa changed their webpage, I like it! And I love blue too. Phi Mu - Phi Mu just seems like a classy organization, every Phi Mu I've met has so much sisterhood Phi Sigma Sigma - I know they're big in NY, they closed at Adelphi just before I got there and the Sphinx as a mascot is so original Pi Beta Phi - the angel mascot is so cute Sigma Delta Tau - the SDT chapter at my school turned did a 180 in my four years at Adelphi and that is so inspiring Simga Kappa - I just love the peacefulness of the dove Sigma Sigma Simga - they have a chapter in Germany, I work with a lot of Germans and they are so nice, plus they're the other triple letter NPC organization. Theta Phi Alpha - silver, gold and blue! our colors too. And your letters have a special significance for Tri Deltas Zeta Tau Alpha - turquosie is my favorite color and the link tradition is so cool |

my turn
I'm not an NPC woman myself, but I thought this looked fun. I was surprised that I actually knew quite a bit about these groups, and I really enjoyed browsing the websites of the ones I didn't know. So here goes...
Alpha Chi Omega: The only one of my high school friends to join a Greek org went AChiO. She was a fun gal, and a good tennis player. When I decided to rush, she helped me gain enough confidence. Alpha Delta Pi: I love stories of "ground breaking" women. Three cheers for Alpha Delta Pi's founders. Alpha Epsilon Phi: The lily of the valley is the most delicate flower. I love it! Alpha Gamma Delta: I love the way the website presents its "Accomplished" sisters rather than its famous ones. Alpha Omicron Pi: Who doesn't love a deep red rose? Alpha Phi: I think it is great that Alpha Phi's website has an entire page dedicated to Women and Heart Disease. All women should take a look! This is an important issue. Alpha Sigma Alpha: The following line of their creed really speaks to me: "...to know the peace and serenity of a divine faith..." Alpha Sigma Tau: The badge is lovely--simple yet dignified Alpha Xi Delta: The open motto, "The Pen is Mightier than the Sword," means a lot to me as a writer. Chi Omega: They didn't hang their flyers over mine when I was trying to establish my Beta Sigma Phi chapter. Other campus sororities did, but the respectful ladies of ChiO hung their signs neatly next to ours. Thank you! Delta Delta Delta: A Tri-Delta sister transferred to my college and joined our choir and the campus newspaper staff. She wore her letters with pride even though we didn't have a chapter on campus, and she was always pleasant and eager to help me out on the paper. Delta Gamma: When I rushed, Delta Gamma was the first party I went to. When I saw all of the women in their cute sailor hats singing and guiding us around the room, I got really excited about possibly being part of a sorority! They made rush so much fun! Delta Phi Epsilon: I was thrilled to learn that DPhiE was established by women at NYU Law School, making it the first sorority established at a professional school. As a woman who became Greek after college, I appreciate this fact very much! Delta Zeta: I used to have a pet turtle named Oliver. What a great mascot!! Gamma Phi Beta: "GeekyPenguin" has the best screen name on Greek Chat! :) Kappa Alpha Theta: The Thetas on my college campus were a great bunch of ladies. I adore the Kite! Kappa Delta: I really enjoyed being a Girl Scout, and I love the strong bond between the women of Kappa Delta and Girl Scouts of America. Kappa Kappa Gamma: I remember their "hill billy" theme from rush. The Kappas were so cute in their braids and overalls. Almost everyone on my campus wanted to be a Kappa! Phi Mu: One word: PINK!!! Phi Sigma Sigma: "AngelPhiSig" is also a Beta Sigma Phi, so of course I love Phi Sigma Sigma. Pi Beta Phi: They offered me a bid!! I deeply, deeply regret that I had to turn it down :( I have made a career and a life fighting to promote literacy, and I wish I had the chance to pursue this quest through the avenues of Pi Beta Phi. I have a great respect and a deep admiration for this organization. Sigma Delta Tau: The SDTs rent a room to my Beta Sigma Phi sister. Their house is lovely here, and my sister truly appreciates the chance to live there. Sigma Kappa: DigitalAngel126 is a PNM of Beta Sigma Phi, so I have a great respect for Sigma Kappa. Also, the student aid in my office is a Sigma Kappa, and she is always very helpful. One of my students last semester went Sigma Kappa, too. She was a sweetie. Sigma Sigma Sigma: "Ever Forward" is a great way to live! Theta Phi Alpha: The compass is a perfect symbol. Makes me think of that wonderful scene in Mr. Holland's Opus when the principal gives him a compass. So touching! Zeta Tau Alpha: One of Beta Sigma Phi's symbols is also the strawberry. I am proud to share something with ZTA. **edited for lots and lots of typos** |
Alpha Chi Omega -- I love your badge!
Alpha Delta Pi -- Without you, we all may not be here now. I thank your founders for their vision, and I thank ADPi for keeping their dreams alive! Alpha Epsilon Phi -- Like AOII, you were also founded at Barnard College (and I didn't know that until now, either.) Alpha Gamma Delta -- It just rocks that you have a collegiate chapter in Hawaii! Alpha Omicron Pi -- AOII means more than the world to me. Alpha Phi -- Your sorority is so forward thinking with alumnae initiation, and I think that's great. Alpha Sigma Alpha -- One of your jewels is the same as ours, the ruby! Alpha Sigma Tau -- I like that you can have local chapter mascots as well as your national symbol, the anchor. Alpha Xi Delta -- I collect teddy bears, so I love that your mascot is BetXi Bear! Chi Omega -- Two of my best friends in college were Chi Omegas. Honestly, if I hadn't been an AOII, I would have wanted to be a Chi Omega. Delta Delta Delta -- I also think your Life Loyal program is great. Delta Gamma -- Wow, there's so much info on your website, it's just amazing (and really interesting to read!) One of my all-time favorite Trading Spaces episodes is the DG one! Delta Phi Epsilon -- Your website has fantastic resources for your alumnae, it's quite impressive! Delta Zeta -- Okay, this may sound silly but it's true--I've always liked pink and green together :cool: Gamma Phi Beta -- I love your international website, and your GC sisters are just wonderful. Kappa Alpha Theta -- Gosh, I love so much about Theta, and your symbols have always touched my heart. Kappa Delta -- I knew many wonderful KDs in college, and they always were so Panhellenically minded, quite impressive! I also like that you have your new member info available on your website. That's definitely forward-thinking! Kappa Kappa Gamma -- Your sorority's name recognition is amazing! Phi Mu -- My cousin is a Phi Mu :) and always spoke highly of her sisters and sorority experience. Phi Sigma Sigma -- Your Vision program sounds quite interesting! Pi Beta Phi -- All of the Pi Phis I knew in college were scholars and athletes as well as just super fun women to be with. Another cousin is a Pi Phi! Sigma Delta Tau -- Cool website overhaul, the last time I'd looked at it I think it was being revised. Sigma Kappa -- DH always thought highly of your chapter at his alma mater, which is impressive coming from a non-Greek! Sigma Sigma Sigma -- I think your doll collection sounds really interesting! Theta Phi Alpha -- Penguins are cool mascots! Zeta Tau Alpha -- I like your "chain of chapters" tradition. |
bumping because it's a nice thread! :)
|
FAUNIKKI -- hey girl -- you forgot to mention my fave -- Gamma Phi Beta!;)
I am too tired to do them all right now -- first day of school is tomorrow here - ack!:eek: But one thing I have not seen mentioned is about Theta Phi Alpha -- I truly admire their heritage! Did you know they were essentially "founded" by a Catholic priest, Father Kelly? I think that is so neat! :) |
i really like this thread. it's neat learning about the other NPC GLOs. i hope people keep on responding!
|
Well, this thread is getting to be three miles long, and while I know that the point is to get to know about other sororities, I am only going to take the time to make a comment about one for now. I am a Phi Sig sister, and my little sister (my real little sister) rushed at a school with a Phi Sig chapter, but pledged Phi Mu. I couldn't be happier that she joined such a wonderful NPC. Everything that she has told me sounds great. Phi Mu is very devoted to philanthropy, and I was amazed at how much time this chapter finds to spend on sisterhood events. And, I do love your colors!

OK, here's mine. Some reasons might seem silly, but they are stuff I realy do dig about the groups!
Alpha Chi Omega - besides having the 2 coolest Greek letters in your name, I love that you can look up pictures of chapter houses on the national website Alpha Delta Pi - The first! And we all appreciate that! Alpha Epsilon Phi - The crest with the columns and smoke is so different and interesting Alpha Gamma Delta - All the ladies on GC, and the many I have met in real life, have been great reps for the org. Alpha Omicron Pi - I think not having a crest and simply using the rose is really cool Alpha Phi - Building the first chapter house paved the way for the best living experience of my college career!!! Thanks for the idea, ladies! Alpha Sigma Alpha - I like the Exemplars idea (and I know the girl in the sweatshirt on the website, we taught dance camps together almost 10 years ago!) Alpha Sigma Tau - They were formed at Eastern Michigan University - very near to where I grew up! Alpha Xi Delta - an AXD wrote the Panhellenic creed, helping us on the path to Greek unity (plus I preffed them so they must be cool!) ;) Chi Omega - Well, duh! :cool: Delta Delta Delta - I like the dolphin/trident water thing going on in some of the symbols. Plus I think it's cool that they were the subject of a very popular SNL skit! Delta Gamma - I really like how all the chapters have Anchor Splash. I think it keeps the national philanthropic ideals really solid. Delta Phi Epsilon - The Pearl Program Delta Zeta - I love turtles!!!!!! Gamma Phi Beta - PACE program Kappa Alpha Theta - they are so cool with their identity, they only need to use the last letter of their name for a nickname!!! Kappa Delta - I love all the pictures on the opening page of the website. And I think Kay D., who helps you navigate, is really cute! Kappa Kappa Gamma - I love the badge, the crest, and mostly, my Mom!!! Phi Mu - The quatrefoil is so unique! Phi Sigma Sigma - I didn't even know about this group until I was on GC, and now I notice them everywhere. I live in NYC and they are huge in the Northeast! Pi Beta Phi - As a lover of the arts, I really appreciate the work they do with Arrowmont Sigma Delta Tau - Their jewel the lapis lazouli is original and beautiful Sigma Kappa - I love the saying 'One heart, one way' and I can appreciate 'creepy' symbols like the snake seeing as we have the skull and crossbones! Sigma Sigma Sigma - The doll collection is such a cool idea! I would love to see them all! Theta Phi Alpha - Another Michigan founded org., at the U of M, also right near my hometown! Go Blue! Zeta Tau Alpha - I love the commitment to Breast Cancer research. |
I just have to say that I love this thread already. I'm sure y'all feel the same way I do, but reading all these wonderful comments about my sorority brings warm fuzzies to my heart. It is all so sweet and makes me so proud to be an ADPi. Once I get a chance to look at all the websites I will most definately comment.
Brianna Alpha Delta Pi |
Alpha Chi Omega- Love the Lyre and how they incorporated it into a logo that's modern but keeps the integrity of that symbol.
Alpha Delta Pi- You're first...THANK YOU!! Alpha Epsilon Phi- One of my best friend's sister is an AEPhi, and she's so awesome!. Alpha Gamma Delta- The first sorority I ever knew of, as my best friend's older sister is one from PSU. She's AWESOME! Plus, you got hawaii!! Alpha Omicron Pi- One of MY best friends is an AOPi who transferred from PSU to UVA and they welcomed her with open arms! THAT'S sisterhood! Alpha Phi- Love the "Phi Bear" after the big dipper...very cool! Alpha Sigma Alpha- One of the strongest chapters on my campus full of fabulous girls, some of which who are great friends of mine! Love the ladybug too ;) Alpha Sigma Tau- They are the closest sorority house to mine at my campus, and all I can say is "Alpha Sigma, Alpha Sigma, Alpha Sigma Tau! woo!" And I love "Friendship forged in tradition"...great motto. Alpha Xi Delta- You used a Xi! You get bonus points...and I totally dig the quill badge. Chi Omega- Again, one of my best friends is a Chi Omega and she's one GREAT girl. She taught me all about sorority life in Texas and the south, while I showed her the way of we northeastern sorority girls! NIGHT AND DAY! :D Delta Delta Delta- Love the moon/stars/celestial thing. The prettiest of all the badges and tons of famous alums. Delta Gamma- Love on your website how you have a DG Spotlight sister of the week!! So great! Delta Phi Epsilon- Biased? Of course!! Because we ROCK! :) Delta Zeta- I've met most of the DZs I know on GC and you all have been soooo nice! And I love the lamp badge! Gamma Phi Beta - Love the campfire girls!! :) Kappa Alpha Theta- How many first ladies do y'all need? ;) A top rate sorority across the board! Kappa Delta- Gorgeous HQs and I love the idea of sunshine boxes! Kappa Kappa Gamma- OK, two words...KATE SPADE! And the Key is one of my favorite sorority magazines. Phi Mu- Another gorgeous badge and I love the whole Steel Magnolias connection! Phi Sigma Sigma- I know so many awesome Phi Sigs who are just great women!! Pi Beta Phi- you got carnation, which is a total bonus, but you also have that fabulous new HQs in Missouri near us!! Sigma Delta Tau- Love the torch! And I love that motto, "more than you can imagine!" Sigma Kappa- I like the maroon enameled badge...it's simple, clean and VERY pretty!! And my chapter's faculty advisor is a Sigma Kappa! Sigma Sigma Sigma- My second choice at pref...they have a fab chapter at my alma mater. Theta Phi Alpha- I have to say I love the penguin too, but you also have a beautiful creed! Zeta Tau Alpha- You have the honor ring for really dedicated alumnae volunteers! I love that!! What a great thing to strive for :) I copied this from someone else's post for the sorority names, so it must have been one without Gamma Phi. My apologies to all the G Phi B girls. |
I had some time today-- so here it goes!
Alpha Chi Omega-I agree with everyone else-- love the lyre thing. And wasn't the women who played Mary Ann on "Gilligan's Island" a member? Alpha Delta Pi-- "First. Finest. Forever." Enough said! Alpha Epsilon Phi--Lily of the Valley is one of my favorite flowers. Alpha Gamma Delta--LOVE THE SQUIRREL!! (that's right, right?) Alpha Omicron Pi--I really like their badge--it has all their letters but it's still a little mysterious if you don't know. Very unique. Alpha Phi--First memory of Alpha Phi was that one of my friends (a TKE no less) rented a room at the Alpha Phi house at the University of Maryland during a summer internship. And the fact that its "FEE" instead of "FYE" is pretty cool. Alpha Sigma Alpha--Their four exemplars. Alpha Sigma Tau--My grandmother always sends me yellow roses for special events! Alpha Xi Delta--Blue is my favorite color--and you use it twice! Chi Omega--The name. It has a very "commanding" sound to it. Delta Delta Delta--I went to a panhellenic luncheon during a Tri-Delt convention a few years ago-- and they had a sing-along with a little old lady playing the piano. It was SO FUN! Delta Gamma--I love the anchor! And I read their website whenever I need inspiration for new ideas. Delta Phi Epsilon--I am biased, but I like the PEARL Program too! And I love our new mission and vision which can be seen at www.dphie.org Delta Zeta--The reason I joined a national sorority was because of a Delta Zeta. Great organization! Gamma Phi Beta--Very unique colors. I had never heard of "mode" before learning of Gamma Phi Beta. Kappa Alpha Theta-- I agree with the first lady comment Shadokat! Kappa Delta-- I have always liked how "Kay D" greets you when you go to their website. Kappa Kappa Gamma-- I like the key. And the colors too! Phi Mu--Love the lion. And in honor of their 150th they just put out an incredible book with their history! Phi Sigma Sigma--Instead of DPhiE, my chapter almost colonized with Phi Sigma Sigma. I like the name of their flower-- The American Beauty Rose. Pi Beta Phi--Leading with Values sounds like an outstanding program! What a great program name-- and a great thing to strive for personally! Sigma Delta Tau--My cousin is an SDT! Sigma Kappa --In my last office I worked with two Sigma Kappas and the spouse of a Sigma Kappa. And they have lavender (which is close to my beloved royal purple!) Sigma Sigma Sigma--The sailboat is a very unique symbol!!! (What is it with sororities and nautical themes??) Theta Phi Alpha-- I also like the penguin. More importantly though--this is a persistent group with great drive for making things happen. Zeta Tau Alpha--Seriously-- I have always liked that their letters spelled the first letter of their name. |
Okay -- I do not understand this and am a bit pouty -- but why have two posts so far (shadokat & faunikki) both omitted Gamma Phi Beta???????????????:( :( :( :( :(
are we chopped liver or something????? |
I'm sure it's not intentional. Gamma Phi Beta is the only "G" sorority, sandwiched between a slew of "Delta" sororities and "Kappa" sororities. It may be that their eyes just glossed over it entirely. (kind of like that optical illusion puzzle, where you have to count the number of "n"s in a sentence and so on.
And no, you are not chopped liver! ;) |
My turn !!
Alpha Chi Omega -- Gotta love those DePauw sororities (I mean fraternities!), plus I love the lyre. Alpha Delta Pi -- Going to second the applause for "Prides" here, I think it's a great concept and the sisters on Greekchat seem to have a lot of support for each other. Alpha Epsilon Phi -- Their open motto is beautiful, and they've always been a strong chapter at WashU. Alpha Gamma Delta -- They have a chapter in Hawaii!! They have to be the envy of every NPC group. :) Alpha Omicron Pi -- Great support for Alumnae Initiation, and the fact that they don't use a crest (and the reason why they don't use a crest) is great. Alpha Phi -- I have never met an Alpha Phi I didn't like. They're smart, friendly, and classy, plus they have great colors and the world's most gorgeous 50-year pin. Alpha Sigma Alpha -- I like the great range of lore they have, all their patrons, their holidays, their colors -- It must give them so many ways to celebrate their sisterhood. Alpha Sigma Tau -- I love how much the local chapters are encouraged to support a local charity. The list of philanthropies they have is impressive. Alpha Xi Delta -- BetXi bear is adorable, and I love that they're the only Xi NPC sorority. Chi Omega -- Wow. Huge, impressive, oodles of great alumnae, and a great mascot. Plus the online group is a great example for other sororities. Delta Delta Delta -- I love the colors, I love the symbols, I love the badge and pins, I love the Life Loyal program. I'm a fan. :) Also, the fact that they've managed to NOT have lasting stigma from those silly sketches on Saturday Night Live is a testament to their class. Delta Gamma -- Their support for Alumnae Initiation is really strong, and their AI members are inspirational. Delta Phi Epsilon -- The ONLY person I've seen walking around in letters on city streets (i.e. away from a campus) here in St. Louis was a woman wearing her DPHiE lettered sweatshirt. It was a great example of spirit. Also, my high school colors were purple and gold, so I'm partial. Delta Zeta -- The turtle is adorable, and they're a very impressive national organization. Surfing sisters is a wonderful idea. Gamma Phi Beta -- Brown and mode are very sophisticated, and I think the Campfire (CampFire?) involvement is neat. Kappa Alpha Theta -- How do I love thee? Let me count the ways... :D Kappa Delta -- I love that KD is involved with Girl Scouting, and I got a great impression from the chapter at SLU. Kappa Kappa Gamma -- Once upon a time I wanted to be a Kappa but I knew it wasn't to be because I didn't have the Kappa Kappa Gamma Ray of Sunshine. Every Kappa I've ever met has been cheerful, classy, and smart. Hard to go wrong there. Plus my mother is obsessed with fleurs-de-lis and blue, so I'm still trying to figure out a way to sneak her into Kappa. Phi Mu -- I think the Sir Fidel/Les soeurs fideles is an adorable pun, and Phi Mu girls just seem to be the epitome of 'Southern ladies' to me. Phi Sigma Sigma -- I love that they were specifically founded to be non-sectarian. I love my diverse sisters and having that as one of your founding precepts is a treasure. Pi Beta Phi -- No one can doubt the cachet of being a Pi Phi. Even the girls from smaller chapters (I met a wonderful Pi Phi sister at a wedding who was from a small chapter) are girls that would be top picks at almost any school. Plus the use of a lozenge crest is so much more correct. :) Sigma Delta Tau -- Their open motto is very inspiring, and they have great colors. Sigma Kappa -- I worked with a girl that was part of a colonizing chapter of SK. The girls I met through her were so enthusiastic, smart, and funny, it was impossible not to like them. Plus, the original snakey badge/pledge pin is one of the coolest pieces of jewelry on the planet. Sigma Sigma Sigma -- I always got the impression that Tri Sigma was a mover and shaker in the early educational sorority world. I've always been impressed with how they've thrived since so many of those organizations foundered. Theta Phi Alpha -- I love that they have essentially a patron saint and their creed is very beautiful. Zeta Tau Alpha -- Before I really got into the whole sorority thing I talked briefly with ZTA's HQ about recolonizing their chapter here. They were friendly, helpful, and genuinely interested. I wouldn't have gotten into Greek life without that first experience with Zeta, and I think they have a lot to be proud of in their national staff. Also, the amount of work they do for the Komen foundation is staggering. |
I did this for a post a while ago, so I'm just going to copy and paste . . . and make a few adjustments.
Alpha Chi Omega: I love their symphony. Yay for the A Chi O's sponsoring Kristin's Story with us -- it is really moving and an important program. I love how you can see chapter houses on their website, and I once spent a couple hours just looking at all of them, trying to find the biggest ones. Alpha Delta Pi: I think it's awesome that they were the first and paved the way for the rest of us. Where would we be without ADPi? Alpha Epsilon Phi: I love their flower and mascot. Alpha Gamma Delta: I love their spirit! It seems like every AGD is really cool and full of energy. And of course there are tons of them here on GC. I think their idea of having special alumnae groups for the younger alums is a great one. Alpha Omicron Pi: I love the panda mascot, and how they're original by having only one color and using their flower in place of a crest. Alpha Phi: I love their flowers, and their crest. I also think their commitment to alumnae initiation is really cool, and I hope other groups follow their lead. Alpha Sigma Alpha: I love their colors -- they're the same as my university's! Plus we have that link of our founder, Sarah Ida Shaw, helping them out, so I guess they're the closest thing Tri Delta has to a "sister sorority." I am jealous of all you who have the Syracuse Triad, Monmouth Duo, Farmville 4 and the Phi Mu/ADPi link . . . I wish we had something like that. Alpha Sigma Tau: I love their flower, and the anchor symbol. Alpha Xi Delta: I really like all AZD's symbols . . . I think they fit together really well. Chi Omega: Every Chi O I've met has been awesome. And there are so many of them! Delta Delta Delta: I can't help but be biased, but I love our symbols, colors, badge and philanthropy, I love how nationally strong we are, I love our Life Loyal program, and plenty of other things besides that. Delta Gamma: I think their website is awesome and so thorough -- it really sets the standard for the rest of the groups. I love their badge. And I think the fraternity-assisted COB thing that they do is wonderful; it really shows the commitment that their HQ has to the chapters. Delta Phi Epsilon: I think their philanthropy -- for eating disorders research -- is wonderful. I also love their colors and symbols. Delta Zeta: I love the colors, and the lamp symbol. Gamma Phi Beta: I love the symbol of the crescent moon . . . since the crescent is a favorite of us Tri Delts too. I think that their commitment to alum initiation is admirable and should be adopted by all the sororities ASAP. Kappa Alpha Theta: I like that their flower is, like ours, a pansy. And I've never met a Theta who wasn't the epitome of classy. Kappa Delta: I LOVE their open motto. I also think their philanthropy work with the Girl Scouts is really cool. Kappa Kappa Gamma: I love the key symbol, and their colors. I also think it's cool how they let each chapter pick their own philanthropy to work with. Their badge is really pretty. OK, I admit it -- I love everything about Kappa :D Phi Mu: I love their colors . . . I'm a girly girl. Plus it always seems like they have so much class and heritage. Phi Sigma Sigma: I love that they were founded to be as diverse as possible, and as far as I can see they continue to be one of the most diverse NPC sororities out there. Pi Beta Phi: I love the angel as their mascot, and their philanthropy of working for literacy. Sigma Delta Tau: I think the torch symbol is so cool, as is their jewel. Sigma Kappa: All their symbols and colors are so pretty. Sigma Sigma Sigma: I think their open motto is really cool, and it's awesome how they have a chapter in Germany. I'd never heard of the doll tradition before this thread, but I think it is so precious. Theta Phi Alpha: I love their colors (same as Tri Delta's!) and the penguin mascot is really cute. I like the fact that they are unique in having a Catholic saint as a patron to go along with their Catholic heritage. I wish there were more TPA chapters around. Zeta Tau Alpha: Their commitment to their philanthropy is amazing -- and it is such an important one. |

I love their anchors they place in front of each house.... Delta Zeta---My two best friends were Dee Zee's, one at LSU and one at USM in Hattiesburg, MS....I love the turtle, and the colors... Kappa Alpha Theta--Theta rocks! The kite is an awesome symbol! They are awesome at Ole Miss too! Kappa Delta--I love KD! I have had many friends that were KDs and they all embody everything that a lady should be! The chapter here at Ole Miss is one of their top chapters I believe! Kappa Kappa Gamma--My aunts were Kappa's at LSU so I'm all about KKG! They rock! Light blue and dark blue are two of my fave colors! Phi Mu---At Ole Miss the Phi Mu's rock too! They just donated a fountain which is on campus in the quad and it is gorgeous! Pi Beta Phi--My best friends were Pi Phi's at Ole Miss! I love Pi Phi's and the Pi Phi advisor at Ole Miss is awesome! Zeta Tau Alpha--I absolutely love ZTA's badge...it is one of my favorites and I saw one once done in all opals! It was amazing! Also, my best friends were ZTA's here back in the day! |

OleMissGlitter- You can have non-AOPi's be advisors?! How does that work? [/end hijack] |
<hijack answer>
Very well, actually! Of course there are some advising positions that must be held by an AOII alumna, and there may be some activities that non-member advisers would not be invited to. I'm sure those chapters with non-members on their AAC make sure to explain these situations so there are no hurt feelings, though. But for positions such as scholarship and financial adviser (just off the top of my head!), it would be easy to fulfill the requirements of the position without being an initiated member. Unfortunately, there aren't always enough alumnae willing or able to serve as an adviser where needed. Allowing non-members to serve gives the collegiate chapter the support and resources they need from their advising team (and is just a darned great introduction to our sisterhood for those considering AI :)) </end hijack answer> |
Yes XO_kathy, our philanthropy advisor is an ADII from Ole Miss. She is awesome because she works on campus and she is easily accessible and her office is down the street from the house. She was friends with many AOIIs while she was in school. Also, I know that if a woman was a member of another GLO she had to have attended Ole Miss in order to be an advisor for us.
