My leading caveat: I'm not going online to check out the details of each sorority, so this is by memory only. Feel free to correct me if I've made a misstatement of fact
1. Which sorority has the most beautiful Badge (basic model)? I'm a fan of the badges that are symbols and the simpler the better, so other than my own, I love the Kappa key and Pi Phi arrow
2. Which sorority has the best flower? I like Kappa's fleur-de-lis, but I don't think that's actually their flower, but more a symbol. So then I'd go with Theta's pansy because it ties in so well with their colors.
3. Which sorority has the most awesome philanthropy? Gotta go with Tri Delta's St. Judes. They are really kicking arse and taking names for such a good cause.
4. Which sorority has the best color combination? Going simple and girly, Phi Mu's pink and white (I'll admit I had to confirm this one - wasn't sure what the alternate to pink was) and AOII's red and white.
5. Which sorority has the cutest mascot? I'm not too into mascots, but I love the lion of Phi Mu and the elephant of DST. Why haven't I been to Africa yet?
6. Which sorority has the coolest symbols? I find a lot of them really intriguing, but I want to know more about the trident.
7. Which sorority do you think is the best known? Kappa is a significant part of one of my favorite plays ever (Uncommon Women & Others), and the
will ring in my ears forever Delta Delta Delta can I help ya help ya help ya?
8. Which other sorority did you pref? Or, if you went through informal rush, which one would you have joined if you hadn't joined yours? DZ
9. Which sorority has the best yearly activity? I also have to change lanes and go with Sigma Chi Derby Days. I've never seen Anchor Splash in action. We had a DG chapter at Iowa, but I don't ever recall it happening (you know, in the dark ages), and being a swimmer, I'd have definitely participated. (And here's where I don't mention one of my own sorority's events, Puzzlepalooza, which seems like a great way to draw in both Greeks and non-Greeks for a fun event)
10:
Which sorority cut was the most disappointing to you during recruitment? I was disappointed to be cut by Alpha Chi Omega. I was also cut by my legacy chapter, but I wasn't especially disappointed by that. Shocked, yes, but it just made my final decision easier.
