I don't know much about ASU or its Greek system, but I do have a friend who is in Omega Phi Alpha (like Alpha Phi Omega, but with more emphasis on the sorority part, and as much emphasis on the service part), and she really enjoys it. It sounds like a good group of women, and possibly a Greek-adjacent alternative? It's not a traditional sorority experience, but my friend really likes it—I believe she's even on the exec board!

Thanks for the shout-out, Kaeb. That chapter is a very strong group that forms lifelong bonds among its sisters. They are strong in leadership development, too, having produced a few alumnae in recent years who rose to serve on the national level. They hold an associate membership on the campus panhellenic council and enjoy participating in Greek life activities with their panhellenic sisters.

However.... OPA is not really a viable substitute for someone who has their heart set on an NPC sorority experience. We are a different flavor of ice cream -- a fabulous flavor, but a different one. If you have your heart set on cookie dough ice cream and get a mouthful of mint chocolate chip, you're going to make a sour face.

Omigosh, this is perfect! I'm going to file this away in my mind for the next time someone asks me the difference.
