Wow, this was actually a lot of work, but I learned a lot! Now if only I would spend this much time researching school work, I'd be all set!



Alpha Chi Omega - i have a friend who's an AXO at Northwestern and she is THE funniest, most down to earth, motivated person I know, so if she joined this organization, it must be doing something right!

Alpha Delta Pi- I went to an ADPi preference party and felt so unbelievably welcome there and continued to hear years later how much they liked me (even though I went to a different house) this goes to show that they truly only extend bids to girls they REALLY want and don't play games

Alpha Epsilon Phi - I love their motto "Multa Corda Una Causa" (I'm sorry if i butchered that, but its from memory) Also, the AEPhi suite at my school is the most beautiful deep green color with giraffes everywhere! its so fun

Alpha Gamma Delta - didn't know anything about AGD before, but I was really interested in the "Strategic plan" on their website. its a really intelligent way to plan out a mission statement and I think it would impress a lot of people who are anti-Greek and say sorority girls don't have any brains in their heads

Alpha Omicron Pi- This website is so beautiful! Just from reading about their founders and their magazine, I can tell that this is a really sophisticated organization. Everything is worded so nicely and gives off a really good vibe! You can tell that the story of their founders is so important and it really is told nicely.

Alpha Phi - Alpha Fee! I just learned all about the pronounciation thanks to the nice girls over on the Alpha Phi message boards! I also met a few girls when i was visiting a friend at a certain university who were all so excited to rush and were all hoping to be Alpha Phi new members in the fall. its great to have girls looking so forward to going Greek and that they have one in mind!

Alpha Sigma Alpha - It's very cool that they were founded at the first college to ever admit women. It's also a little history lesson. Some of their ideals remind me of the ideals of my house, and even though I don't know any ASA sisters, I'm sure I'd like them very much!

Alpha Sigma Tau - This seems like an organization which would value girls who are well-grounded, goal-oriented, and smart. I like that they seem pretty no-frills but fun at the same time!

Alpha Xi Delta- This sorority seems very professional and one of their members wrote the Panhellenic Creed so they obviously have a sense of the larger Greek picture!

Chi Omega- I am constantly impressed by the Chi O's, not just their HUGE National organization (is it true that they are only 2nd to the girl scouts?) but the ChiO chapter on my campus is also terrific. They are all intelligent, motivated, beautiful girls who really love their house.

Delta Delta Delta - The name recognition of Tri-Delta is always impressive. The girls are always so willing to spread their name and they are possibly the most social girls (in a good way!) that I've met. Got to love the dolphin also!!

Delta Gamma - omg i LOVE the personal growth and development area. Its so thorough! I'm a sucker for really being well-rounded and improvement in all areas (thats part of what I like about my house so much) so this was interesting to me

Delta Phi Epsilon - Yay, my house!! I love DPhiE for so many reasons, one being our PEARL program & the Five S's (you know, being well-rounded!!), I love having Cystic Fibrosis as one of our philanthropies, its such a great cause, i absolutely love our motto Esse Quam Videri (To Be, Rather than To Seem To be), i love our flower, the Lovely Purple Iris, and above all, I love my sisters so much!! Haha, I guess that's all I'll write, but there's so much more.

Delta Zeta- The pink and green is awesome. They are two of my favorite colors put together and I have all these pink/green bracelets...I always feel like I'm a wanna-be DZ when I wear them, haha, but I actually did have them before I went to college. The DZ's at Pitt are all so talented too.

Gamma Phi Beta - It looks like Gamma Phi Beta was founded by some pretty active women at a time when women weren't supposed to be so active! Thats a great way to be started, by women who are such forward thinkers.

Kappa Alpha Theta- I've never heard anything but good things about Thetas! I've never met any, as we used to have them on our campus, but don't anymore (their letters are still on the house they used to share with Kappa Kappa Gamma though!) and their pin is beautiful! And how impressive is the fact that their philanthropy is one that contributes over $300,000 in scholarships a year? I like that they are supporters of education, considering we are all in college when we join our houses!! (well, most of us!)

Kappa Delta - The KD's at Pitt are amazing! They are so loyal to each other and are so proud to be Kappa Delta's. I always think of them as the girls my mom wished I was haha, studious, outgoing, etc

Kappa Kappa Gamma - I love KKG's colors and also they have the only off-campus house at Pitt...what's cooler than that? All the Kappas that I have ever met have been so funny and smart.

Phi Mu - I think the Rose & White are beautiful colors and their symbol is pretty puzzling! Any Phi Mu's care to explain its meaning? (if its public??) They also have some pretty impressive alumnae

Phi Sigma Sigma - I couldn't help but notice that both DPhiE and Phi Sigma Sigma claim to be the first non-sectarian sorority, but it really doesn't matter which one it is because its a great ideal of acceptance of all people, no matter the religion. And great, clear motto: Diokete Hupsala — Aim High

Pi Beta Phi - I love Pi Beta Phi's philanthropies! Literacy is such a great cause and you know its not a charity that is supported "just because"

Sigma Delta Tau - These are very sweet girls at Pitt, they know so much about greek life and always put so much effort into everything they do. it's so admirable how hard they work and how much they love their chapter!!

Sigma Kappa - I have a friend who joined Sigma Kappa at GW, and once again, if she joined SK, there must be something very good about the sorority! The violet and the dove are such great symbols, anyone would love to be represented by something so pretty and also something that symbolizes peace

Sigma Sigma Sigma - I love the sailboat and also the fact that I know about 6 or 7 girls from my high school who all went Tri-Sigma in college, and they all went to different schools. I like the focus on friendship as well.

Theta Phi Alpha - I remember going through recruitment thinking that Theta Phi Alpha had the most beautiful name of all of the sorority's. It rolls very nicely off the tongue and looks really pretty written in script!!

Zeta Tau Alpha - ZTA's website is great, it looks so elegant and different from most sorority's light colored pages. The founders were only 14/15 years old which is very interesting, and it shows in the creed which is very full of heart and hopefulness which would come from such young women at that time. I absolutely love this: "...striving ever to make our lives a symphony of high ideals, devotion to the right , the good, and the true, without a discordant note"
