My sorority was founded in 1898 in West Virginia, and was just 102 this year!!! I wish I could have been there to celebrate on Founders Day...sigh.
Very simply put.....
Tri-Sigma came to be because one of the founding members had a brother in a fraternity at a neighboring school, and the idea facinated her.
I can't speak for everyone on this board, but each and every one of the 26 national collgiate sorority chapters was founded for a purpose, and we all hope to think that our organization is unique.
You have to recognize the fact that the thing that makes these org's unique are the members, and the members alone, because you will not find a single greek organization like another. Even diffent chapters of the same org. are different, sometimes extremely.
I pledged and was initiated because I sought and found in my sisters truely good woman. They were funny, smart, and outgoing. They were considerate, diverse (University homecoming queen to kyaking champion to no extra-curriculars at all) and easy to talk to. I just didn't click with the other groups - when and if you rush, you will know the same experience. Depending on where you go, rush doesn't cost anything except the emotion and time you put into it....
and sorority life truly IS what you make of it.
