I work at a day care center during the summers and the kids there often ask me what Gamma Phi Beta is when they see me wearing a sorority shirt. I've tried to tell them that it is a sorority, but that's not a concept they understand yet (they're aged 5-12). So I started telling them that sororities were similar to Girl Scouts but for college students (I, too, was a scout until I moved to Virginia in high school)...it's an organization of girls that do things together for the community and have a lot of fun as well....then the boys started asking if there was a "boy scouts" in college, and that's how they learned about fraternities.

I've seen many similarities between my days as a girl scout and my life now as a sister of a sorority. Both organizations have provided so much for me. (I was also in Job's Daughters, which is something else that is kind of like sorority).
