Different Names for Recruitment Guides

[emleepc]

University of North Alabama uses Gamma Chi---Greek Counselor. I was a Gamm Chi last summer and it was one of the most awesome experiences I've had.

Our school (Stephen F. Austin) uses Rho Beta Sigma for Recruitment Big Sis

University of South Florida uses Pi Chi for Panhellenic Counselor. This started 2 years ago in Summer 2002 (and I was in the first group to be called Pi Chis!)

Here's the cheer we always did, cause I love it!:
P-I C-H-I, Pi Chi, Pi Chi, til we die!
We're the best, we never rest,
Til our new girls find their nest!
Piiiiiiiiiiiiiii Chi!

Okay, help an old lady out. I was a Rho Chi. I haven't been in college in a few years and I've been totally out of touch of NPC rules. Why did they make everyone get rid of Rho Chi? Thanks for helping me out!

I've heard different reasons, but I know Rho Chi is a pharmaceutical company. I'm not sure if that's the real reason though.

I am a Greek Affairs Grad Assistant and we had trouble coming up with a name until we went to SEPC (Southeastern Panhellenic Conference). There we found so much stuff with Gamma Chi on it, we decided to use that.

I looked up the Rho Chi thing in a listing of GLO's and it is a Professional Pharmacist Society. That is why the change was suggested.

A fun tidbit- our Gamma Chi's decided to make it (GC) a sorority for the summer. They came up with a ritual for "pledging and some symbols. They decided on tangerine and pearl as official colors, the penguin as a mascot, and gerber daisies as the flower (none of these overlapped with a chapter on campus). The girls had so much fun collecting their new sorority paraphanalia!

We used to have Rho Chis for years, and they changed it b/c of the Pharm.Org. so I heard. Now we have Rho Deltas = Recruitment Director. There is still all these PX letters floating around out there. we were a big letter wearing campus

At The University of Akron they are called Rho Gamma's-- Rho Gam's for short!!

EDIT: Rho Gamma for us = Recruitment Guide's

It's still so funny for me to hear them called Rho Gammas....when I went through at Valpo in 2000, they were Rho Chi's, and I think the first year they became Rho Gammas was 2003, the year after I graduated.

Same here-- when I went through in 1996 they were Rho Chi's and they were Rho Chi's until I graduated! Sometimes I still say Rho Chi-- the girls get what I am saying and chalk it up to me being "old"!!
