I want to borrow kddani's idea from the Greek forum and modify it for this forum.
In this thread, say something good about EVERY sorority and the one fraternity represented in the AI Roll Call. All of them.
If you don't know anything about a group, go to their website and find something you like or admire about them. It can be something as silly as loving their colors to something much deeper - like having a particularly touching experience with one of the groups.
Here's the list and my comments about each:
Alpha Delta Pi - I love the part in their creed that states "My sorority is more than a ritual or symbol - it is a way of life."
Alpha Gamma Delta - I love their mascot, the squirrel
Alpha Omicron Pi - I love their red rose symbol, as well as their unofficial panda bear symbol (I'm a roses and bears girl!)
Alpha Phi - Again, I love that one of their symbols is the "Phi Bear".
Alpha Xi Delta - I love their official badge, the quill. It brings up very scholarly and intellectual images for me.
Delta Delta Delta - I love absolutely everything there is to love about this group (No, I don't think I'm biased...
)
Delta Phi Epsilon - Their open motto "To be rather than seem to be" is absolutely fantastic!! I try to live by that motto already, and I'm not even a member!!
Delta Gamma - I love their Raggedy Ann/Hannah doll. Reminds me when I was a little kid and played with Raggedy Ann. Also, when I was a silly young undergrad about to go through rush, I thought maybe I'd want to be a DG. I can't remember why, but they must've made a good impression on me!
Gamma Phi Beta - when I was in school, the Gamma Phis were the "beautiful girls", and while I was pursuing AI, a couple of the Gamma Phis in this forum were very helpful and supportive of me during the ups and downs of the search (navane, thank you!). This just proved to me that Gamma Phis everywhere are beautiful inside AND out!!
Kappa Delta - I think Kappa Delta has one of the most interesting coats of arms of all the groups. There's such a variety of mysterious symbols! Plus, trojangal will soon be initiated into this group, and I have come to know her as a WONDERFUL person. If all KDs are as nice as she is, then KD is made up of absolutely phenomenal women.
Phi Mu - Hands down, I love their creed! Go to their website and check it out! It's fabulous.
Sigma Kappa - I love that they were founded as a literary and social society - so scholarly! Their symbol, the violet, is gorgeous too.
Zeta Tau Alpha - Wow! I was floored when I learned their founders were only 14-15 years old when they created this organization! That's amazing! I like their badge with the crown, especially the "bling" badges - it looks very royal. And blueangel is a proud new initiate of ZTA, and she is just an awesome person - so dedicated and idealistic!
Pi Kappa Phi (fraternity) - I am very impressed that they have what they call "7 Statements of Position" on various social issues of the day because "our members face important issues everyday". I think this is a very bold way for them to reinforce the values they espouse. Very cool!
