I'm taking a class about southern women and writers, and we have to do a research project. I really want to do mine about the role of sororities in southern life, and my professor is super enthusiastic about it. I know some of you have been down to Macon to visit the birthplace of ADPi and Phi Mu, and I was thinking of going down there and doing some research. Do you think it would be worthwhile? I really want to get some oral histories, too, so I'm thinking of interviewing women I know about their sorority experience.

I really want to focus the project on "southern" sororities, but there isn't exactly a definitive list!
You could probably do just as well in the Atlanta/Peachtree City area, what with both Phi Mu & ADPi being located there. That, or contact the Georgia Wesleyan College for information. I'm sure that they have tons of records on some of their older alumnae. After all, it was also the first college for women in the United States, too.
