if your chapter wasn't there...

[ASTDM39]

If I wasnt an AST I dont know what I would be! There is only one other sorority on campus and I dont fit in with them. They arent big on sisterhood they just like the name and the title of being in a sorority. SO I am extremely happy where I am!!!

I certainly can't speak for everyone else, but I didn't know anything about DG before college. We didn't have a DG chapter locally, and where I grew up the sororities I heard about were always Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa Kappa Gamma and Delta Delta Delta. My cousin was a Phi Mu, so that's how I was familiar with them.

None of these sororities were at my school, and when I found AOII I knew I was home. I have no doubt that if I'd gone to another school, I would have chosen AOII without hesitation no matter what other sorority was there. AOII has been instrumental in almost every milestone in my life. I seriously would not be who I am today without making the choice to join my sorority.

But, to be brutally honest--once I learned more about the other chapters at my school, I would have been a very happy Kappa Delta as well. The girls were similar to my own sisters, I was comfortable with their external symbols and mascots, and I had many friends who were KDs.

We've gotta love the internet though. It's great to find so much info about the different groups through their websites! I'm such a sorority geek sometimes

well hey, my sorority is mentioned probably even less than DG so don't feel badly.

I thought DG was mentioned quite a bit.

I never went through formal rush. I never was really interested in Greek Life until I heard DG was going to colonize. My mom was a DG and that is all I ever would have wanted...I thought. Turns out all of our chapters are pretty awesome and that my stupid stereotypes might have made me miss out on some fun. But I'm glad it turned out that I waited for DG...it's an amazing sisterhood and an amazing experience.

BUT, if I had rushed, I'm sure I would have gone ZTA. The ZTA girls here are awesome. They have been the biggest welcome for Delta Gamma on the campus.

Off campus, I love Phi Mu. I don't know why, I was just called to explore their web site and wish we had a chapter here at NCSU.

to those who are in an NPC or NIC organization, when you joined was your main goal to join that specific organization or to be greek in general?

[alphaiota]

i'd say neither. i joined b/c of the girls who represented the organization. not b/c of the letters, colors, symbols, etc. and i had zero intention of actually going greek when i first started college.

I would've preffed DZ and Kappa and chosen from those two... if one was on my campus, though, besides DG, I would've gone AZD, my aunt's sorority.:-)

[MSKKG]

CarolinaDG, I tried to PM you, but your box was full.

[PiKA_Phil]

Hmm...no guys giving their opinions?...

To be completely honest, when I moved here I didn't even want to go through rush. All I kept thinking was Hell Week and hazing and I didn't like the thought of that. My friend actually dragged me to sign up for rush. She'd done it the year before and said I had nothing to worry about. She was right, and I'm glad I did and I am happy where I am and couldn't imagine myself elsewhere.

Haha, we need more guys on GC!!!!

In case anyone cares, my boyfriend went to his last 2 rush parties at SigEp and Pika. The sig tells you which he chose (no contest, really).

HEYY... Maybe I should get my boyfriend to register on GC....
*wheels turning*

[KEPike]

Yeah, we need more Pikes on here.

If I hadn't gone Pike, I wouldn't have joined a fraternity.

Of those not on my campus, I'd say either Beta or SigEp.

[JerzeeBoy26]

If I wasn't a Beta I would have been a Kappa Sig, a Phi Psi or a Sigma Nu (those are the other houses I had a bid at). It really wasn't close though

[Livvy8]

If I hadn't went ASA - I would be DphiE on my campus. Not on my campus - probably Phi Mu and if I was a dude - Acacia (on my campus).

[Pink Panther40]

If my illustrious sorority, ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA , did not exist I would be one unhappy non greek. Because it's AKA all the way or nothing. If there was no chapter here I would wait and become a member of a graduate chapter.
