My mother and aunt are soRHOrs and they always said positive things about their college days in their chapter (Alpha Lambda, '62 for both). And my cousin had good experiences too in the same chapter (Alpha Lambda, '87). So, I decided to join (Lambda Lambda, '88).
The clincher for me occurred before I joined. I caught a glimpse of my cousin and mom greeting each other with the official handshake. I wanted to do that too!!!
Oh, and I liked the colors too.
