In regards to "GO GREEK" while in college...I came from a high school where my graduating class had 180 students. Of all the 180 students I can name maybe one other person I know who went Greek. He joined Alpha Gamma Rho at Penn State...Every other person from my high school who went Greek was either in a class or two below me or maybe a class or so ahead of me...

I was happy to see the one girl in school I always looked up to (she was involved in EVERYTHING) joined Delta Phi Epsilon. That is the only reason I'm a little jealous of my younger cousin (She's a DPhiE too) because she can call this girl a "sister"....

A few guys from my high school (younger than me) joined FIJI at Penn State. My cousin's friend from high school (also younger than me) joined Tri-Sig at Penn State, while her other friend joined Chi Omega at Bucknell. That's about all the Greeks I know...It's not pushed in the North the way it is in the South.

I once wore my letter shirt into a store when the guy who was ringing me out (an aquaintance from high school years before) looked at me and asked, "What does I-Ome mean?" I had no clue what he meant and I thought it was a joike so I said, "I don't know-what does it mean?" He pointed to my shirt and said...."You're the one who has it on your shirt." I looked down and said, "That means Phi Mu-those are Greek Letters." Had I been in the South-this conversation probably never would have taken place.
LOL, no, I assure you everyone knows Phi Mu in the South. There seems to be a handful of groups that have more chapters down here and Phi Mu seems to be one of them (along with Zeta )
