This is to funny!!!!!!!!
At the ripe age of (? ), I am still envolved.
How much?:
Member of House Corp., member of Mentoring Group, Started the Local Alum. Group, stated the New House Building Project, and last but not least the keeper of E_M Addresses.
Did I major in Fraternity, of course, I founded the thing, (local) that is.
At previous school, I was not in Greek Org. but played BaseBall, and Tennis. Hell grades suffered much worse. Why, because no one on the school staff cared about anything but how weel you did in sports.
Fraternity made me study, gave me more insight on how to deal with people of all ages, Falculty members, and members of other Greek Orgs.
I got an A+ in Greek Life and it helped me more than evrything thing else during College!
When I Graduated, it showed how much I had learned doing what I did with Fraternity! Thank Goodness!

OTW, I PMd you!
I don't know that I qualify as majoring in sorority, but my mom sure thinks I do! (After 3 years, she's still against the whole thing...but whatever.)

I, without a doubt, am majoring in sorority. I kind of can't figure out how you wouldn't. I mean, you live there (for those with Houses) and almost every aspect of everything you do envolves some part of your org. My mom still doesn't understand the whole Greek thing, and she still calls it "E K" rather that Sigma Kappa. To me, it's a part of who I am, and I don't understand why some people aren't as enthusiastic about being Greek as we are.
In my house, we have a name for people like me: Super Sigma's. They are the ones who are all about the house, and getting envolved and making sure other people are getting involved. We live and breathe Sigma Kappa. I probably know more about my Org and greek life in general than anyone else I live with, and most people I meet on my campus because I just love it that much.  When I was an Alumnae, I helped re-colonize a defunct alum chapter, and did as much as I could to help my chapter. I know that when I when I become an Alum again, I'll do even more because I have a better understanding of how things work and how I can help. And I hope that I can find a guy who, at the very least is Greek, just so he understands my obsession.

i think i completely major in sorority....i mean, i may not have gone to every single meeting, but i have served in several offices, lived in both of our houses, and i have absolutely no idea what else i would doing at my school if it wasn't for alpha gam (hmmm...maybe graduating on time?? who knows?  ). i feel like it is the one huge college experience that has totally changed me for the better...and it's weird, too, b/c i can't imagine a time when i didn't know these ladies.
i will graduate eventually with a big girl degree---and probably move to TX soon after  ....but for right now, i'm content with majoring in sorority...or i was (I'M THISCLOSE TO ALUM STATUS!!!!!!!!!  )

ROTFL!!
My daddy used to tell people that I had a double major: Fraternity and Sorority! Deep down, he was terribly proud, though - he would wear his ADPi Dad t-shirt as he helped us out around the suite!  I miss him so much.
Btw, I did double major - in English & psychology.

Princess Heather - I hope all your sisters realize how lucky they are to have you around! You sound like a gem!
My dad and mom never gave me any grief about my "sororitygirlitis". They were and are really cool about living their lives and letting me live mine so they pretty much always kept out of my business.
I always invited them to the Mother/Daughter Teas and Father/Daughter Brunches, though and they enjoyed going to those. My dad even used to sit with us at some of the football games until I put a stop to it because some of my sisters tried to hit on him. I mean, I know he's a nice looking man but he's my DAD for Heaven's sake! Sick!

I tried to major in fraternity, but, due to grades (a problem I couldn't quite get completely corrected that started BEFORE I joined), I was suspended.
When I came back to school, the chapter was closed.
So, I guess have have postgraduate degrees in fraternity, still serving (and, yes, learning) about fraternity to this very day....

I too "majored" in sorority...that is at the 2nd school i went to. I loved it so much and I know for certain my last year there I never missed a meeting or event!
Now that I'm alum, whenever I mention the sorority my dad goes "are you still doing that?" Like he thinks i may one day stop! C'mon now, never!!!!I'm stuck on Phi Sig and I know my dad likes it too  I just need to get him a Phi Sig dad shirt....

I LOVE Greek life. NPHC, IFC, NPC, whatever- I love greek life. I'm the only one in my chapter though like that. None of them go on greek chat or like going to all the greek events and such. It's all good though.

When in college my parents thought the same and now that I have been an alumna for 3 years and am still as active as I was in school they think I'm mad! But aside from the weekly meetings I do KD stuff all week, it also helps that I am a House Corp member trying to build a house and an alum association pres!
But I think it is great to be so happy about yout affiliation and taking it seriously shows how important it is to you!

I was on executive council the semester after I pledged....
I knew every answer during my pledgeship and I only missed 1 question on my test...
Ask AlphaGamDiva, I was infamous for knowing AGD stuff, along with other fraternities and sororities....
I got an award for it one year- Most Sorority Spirit
I went to every event EVER!!! until my senior year...
I lived in the houses from the semester after I pledged until my last semester in college....
I lived in my letters....
Yet I still made time to graduate with honors, see my family and friends from home, have a boyfriend (who always put down my sorority... bbbrrggg SaNDERS!) and to this day I have letters proudly on my car.

My dad was in a local fraternity on his campus that went national (Phi Sigma Kappa) and he keeps up with their national newsletter. So he understands about my excitement of being a new member in a sorority.
Okay, so I do spend a lot of time on GC, our national site and instant messaging sisters, & surfing the net in general (about 7-15 hrs/wk) and from what I have read so far I am still in the “norm”.  I love what Greek life has to offer (service and friendships for life).

When I told my mom that I was joining a sorority, she was ready to disown me... In college (the same one I go to) she hated sororities, they always made fun of them and even made their own anti-sorority with greek letters spelling something obsene (she didn't remember what it spelled). She never even went to a fraternity party her entire college career... My Grandpa, mom's dad, was totally excited for me because he was tired of being the only person in our immediate family that was "Greek." He was a Sigma Nu and to this day wants me to marry one, not likely because my school doesn't have a Sigma Nu chapter... and because I don't want to marry someone just because they are in a fraternity, but that is a whole other soap box that I won't get on!!!!
