I haven't read all of this thread so I'm sure I'm repeating things, but I wanted to say something about all the NPC groups even though I'm not familiar with them all.

Alpha Chi Omega – As someone who love music, I love their lyre pin and I like the philanthropic focus on domestic violence

Alpha Delta Pi – I love their motto/slogan “First Finest Forever. Since 1851” and that they have Prides within the chapter. I think it’s a cool integration of their mascot, which I also like.

Alpha Epsilon Phi – I read on this thread that part of the reason the giraffe was chosen as the mascot was because it has a big heart. I thought that was a lovely sentiment.

Alpha Gamma Delta – My Rho Chi was an Alpha Gam and I really liked and respected her. It was the same with everyone I met from the Alpha Gam chapter at my school – a classy group of ladies.

Alpha Omicron Pi – I really like the meaning of their publication, To Dragma, and I think the idea of putting a ribbon under their badge when a new collegiate chapter is installed is a great way to recognize the efforts of their new sisters.

Alpha Phi – I always thought their Red Dress Gala was a great and fun way to bring awareness to women’s heart disease

Alpha Sigma Alpha - I like their open motto of “Aspire, Seek, Attain” and that they have a fall and spring flower.

Alpha Sigma Tau – Having Habitat for Humanity as one of their philanthropies is awesome. I think it’s a great organization to be associated with.

Alpha Xi Delta – What can I say about the organization I love? It has helped me grow so much and transformed me into the person I am today. For that I will always be thankful.

Chi Omega – I met two ChiO’s from the same chapter after I graduated (who didn’t know each other as they weren’t in the chapter at the same time). They were such fun, bubbly gals I instantly became friends with them. It makes me love ChiO’s! And I can never get their Recruitment chant out of my head (Chi Omega, Chi Chi Omega, C-H-I-O-M-E-G-A)

Delta Delta Delta – I really like their symbols of the stars, the crescent, and the trident. And I think their open motto of “let us steadfastly love one another” is heartwarming (I don’t mean that in a trite way).

Delta Gamma – This is a little superficial, but I really like their anchor hand sign (arm sign?) I also like that the original badge was the letter H, which stood for Hope. However the website says that it was the watchword – but a watchword for what? Anyone know the answer?

Delta Phi Epsilon – Their colors are the same as my alma mater, so that’s a big plus right there! And their motto is wonderful - “to be rather than to seem to be.”

Delta Zeta – They have the same flower as we do! And I think it’s pretty smart to have a “Surfing Sisters” alum chapter for alumnae who don’t live near a college or alum group.

Gamma Phi Beta – I like that their colors were to honor a professor that helped the first Gamma Phi’s hold their first meetings. And having been a Camp Fire girl, I love their philanthropy!

Kappa Alpha Theta – I think it’s cool that they were the first fraternity to establish a chapter in Canada.

Kappa Delta – Since I have been advising I’ve met a lot of other sorority advisors. One of the most Panhellenic-spirited people I’ve ever met was the KD advisor. She rooted for every chapter and did everything she could to see that others succeeded. It gave me a very high opinion of KD.

Kappa Kappa Gamma – I really like their symbol, the key. And I think it’s cool that they’re expanding to Santa Clara because my cousin is going there!

Phi Mu – I like that one of their colors is rose (or pink) – it’s just fun and girly IMO. I also really like their motto of The Faithful Sisters and that it appears on their crest (as Les Soeurs Fideles).

Phi Sigma Sigma – I like the reasoning behind why the American Beauty Rose was chosen for their flower – “its statuesque beauty, and the balance of its sharp thorns and soft petals” (taken from their website). Girls can be both sharp and soft!

Pi Beta Phi – a gal I work with is a Pi Phi and is very chill and down to earth – a great example for their organization. And I like their symbol, the arrow.

Sigma Delta Tau – I think it’s cool that the man who wrote their ritual was referred to as a “brother” and was allowed to wear their pin.

Sigma Kappa – I have a lot of respect for the Sigma Kappa’s at the campus I advise because they are such hardworking and genuine women.

Sigma Sigma Sigma – I think the meaning of their symbol, the sailboat, is very aspiring. I like the idea of always moving forward, never moving back.

Theta Phi Alpha – I really like the creed, especially the “loyalty to every friend, faith that sorrow can transcend” part.

Zeta Tau Alpha – I have never met a ZTA I didn’t like. They are such fun and personable women – and I love their symbol of the crown and their motto “seek the noblest”.
