My daughter was married last Saturday, March 3. The groom's sister was in a sorority in a prominent Big 10 school. I knew the reputation of her group (like it or not) because of positive comments from members of my fraternity at their chapter at that school at a recent national convention. I complimented her on the strength and prominence of her sorority, and placed a guess at which other houses she returned to for her final three. She nearly dropped her plate--"How could you have known that?!" I told her it was a lucky guess based on strength and reputation of her own chapter and which other houses they competed against.
So strongholds on certain campuses (and towns and states) do not change quickly, and she had been out of school 10 years. We had a terrific conversation about Greek life on her campus and--now that she lives on the East Coast--how much she values conversations with her sorority sisters and how much those bonds mean to her. She was thrilled that my daughter was also a sorority woman, and commented in a positive way about my daughter's sorority chapter at her school. When I saw this thread, it just presented the opportunity to mention my recent experience and help prove the point of this thread
