This is such a fun idea! I really enjoyed learning about each sorority and remembering interactions I'd had with members of various organizations.

Alpha Chi Omega – I agree that their badge is one of the most beautiful, and I worked with an AXO who made me proud to be Greek.
Alpha Delta Pi – Two of the coolest gals I’ve ever known were ADPis. Two very different girls, two different universities and yet both ADPis. Very cool. I also think the picture of their founders is beautiful.
Alpha Epsilon Phi – I really like that AEPHi was founded on the idea of non-discrimination. I also thought ellebud's recruitment story was a fascinating look at the Greek system.
Alpha Gamma Delta – I can’t think of Alpha Gamma Delta without thinking “Southern” (even though it was founded in New York), and being from the South, I love it! I’m also jealous that AGD is part of a “triad”. That’s so cool.
Alpha Omicron Pi – I the like simplicity that the organization seems to have – one color, one jewel, no crest. Just simple in purpose and goal, “Women Enriched through Lifelong Friendship.” Very admirable.
Alpha Phi – The Alpha Phis on campus were some of the most genuine girls I’ve ever met and I always cheered loudly for their accomplishments. A really great group of girls!
Alpha Sigma Alpha– I think the idea that the founders wanted to form their own sorority rather than separating is a great one, and the connection with Delta Delta Delta is a pretty neat one.
Alpha Sigma Tau – I love that AST’s flower is the yellow rose – it’s a symbol of friendship (and Texas!).
Alpha Xi Delta – The quill as a symbol is very cool. I don’t know what the secret meaning of it is, but I imagine it’s something remarkable. I also think that the Alpha Xi Delta hand sign is really creative.
Chi Omega – I love the skull on the badge – it’s so mysterious! I also really love how well-maintained the national organization is, and I really envy the Chi Omega Shop. They have such cute stuff and it’s so well-organized!
Delta Delta Delta – I knew a Tri Delta from Baylor, and she was one of the sweetest and brilliant young women I knew, and I have much respect for the organization because she is a part of it.
Delta Gamma – I LOVE the nautical theme and the DG wave/salute. It’s unique and very charming.
Delta Phi Epsilon – I really admire that one of DPhiE’s philanthropies is the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders, a very worthy cause.
Delta Zeta – I love the rose and green color combination, it’s very peppy and cute!
Gamma Phi Beta – Nearly a decade later I still remember so clearly the Gamma Phi Beta chant that I heard during my recruitment! I also really like how the colors, plus the symbol of the crescent mood evoke such a relaxed and comfy feeling.
Kappa Alpha Theta – I have a soft spot in my heart for Kappa Alpha Theta. Their international organization is incredible, I love the colors, the symbols and philanthropy. Not to mention that I’ve been told that I look like a modern version of Bettie Locke Hamilton. It’s really kind of weird.
Kappa Delta – I love the dagger, and I think that KD has one of the most beautiful open mottos, “Let us strive for that which is honorable, beautiful and highest.” I also like how cute “KD Lady” sounds – very Southern!
Kappa Kappa Gamma – A Kappa from UT was the first person to teach me what it meant to have class and poise. I have a lot of respect for the way that she held herself. Because of her in my mind Kappa Kappa Gamma embodies dignity and class.
Phi Mu – I love the girly quality of the organization. My mother’s favorite color was pink and her favorite flower the pink carnation. After she died, the symbols of Phi Mu have become that much more endeared to me.
Phi Sigma Sigma – The Egyptian theme of the organization is very intriguing, and the American Beauty rose is gorgeous!
Pi Beta Phi – I remember having a very bad time during those awkward middle school years when my dad died. One day on the way to my locker before heading home I passed one of the really popular girls in the hall, she saw what a tough time I was having and spent not only the rest of the day, but the rest of my seventh grade year making sure I was okay. She graduated from high school a year ahead of me and became a Pi Phi. Because of her I have an incredible admiration for the organization.
Sigma Delta Tau – SDTs national philanthropy is very dear to my heart, and the lapis lazuli is such a beautiful and distinctive jewel.
Sigma Kappa – I pledged Sigma Kappa because I really liked the girls I met. But after being initiated and witnessing the beauty of the ceremony and learning all of the secrets, I fell in love with what my sorority really means. I am truly blessed to be a Sigma Kappa.
Sigma Sigma Sigma – I love that Sigma Sigma Sigma and Sigma Kappa have so much in common outwardly. I enjoy that it makes people think that there’s some secret connection (and maybe there is…ooooheeeeooooh).
Theta Phi Alpha – The compass on the TPA pledge pin is remarkable and I love the penguin mascot!
Zeta Tau Alpha – I think the five-point crown is such a great symbol. It evokes such a great feeling of royalty and beauty, not to mention that I love turquoise.
