I'm very much in favor of handling this type of information session as panhellenically as possible. I just doubt that a lot of high schools outside of the traditional South would allow any Go Greek forums - especially with the MTV nonsense being shown. I ran into a high school teacher of mine after I pledged, and she saw my lavalier & hugged me, crying, "We're sisters!" The school board wouldn't allow the teachers to wear any greek symbols.

But what if Alumnae Panhellenics held Informational Sessions throughout the summer? Maybe a tea or two - something simple like that. Have information on EVERY sorority and fraternity - the standard informational leaflets with the pins, the letters, what they mean, etc., along with which colleges have which sororities (for the women in attendance)? I would certainly be happy to help out with something like that, as long as it was kept strictly panhellenic! And, the closest Panhellenic Councils could be there, too.

I think I've said before that I grew up in a neighborhood where literally everyone who went to college was in a GLO, so I saw copies of GLO magazines as often as Better Homes & Gardens! If being in a GLO looks natural to the women about to go off to college, I think they'd be more likely to give it a chance. Just my 2¢
