I'd pick Kappa Kappa Gamma, or Kappa Alpha Theta.
Kappa because my mother is one and I loved reading the magazine when I was younger. Most of the girls who went to my high school became Kappas in various places too.
Theta because I almost joined at UPS and most of my best friends and my great aunts are Thetas and love it. I also think both organizations have very classy philanthropies and I've never met a Kappa or Theta I didn't like!

I think it would be between two houses:
Kappa Delta: I've been a Girl Scout for 18 years, so their philanthropy really has a central place in my heart. I also love their colors. I mean there's just something so classy about green and white. I love it.
Chi Omega: I've always been struck with the sense of tradition and pride in this house nationally (based on their national website) and through looking at the chapter websites just browsing around. I also love the Chi O badge. I mean I love the monogrammed look, and the X and the omega really compliment each other.
I've got to say though, that Theta always was and always will be my home.

I had to think, but I can narrow it down to either Delta Gamma or Alpha Phi.
Delta Gamma - I liked Anchor Splash, ships and Raggedy Ann/Andy dolls (childhood memories). I think that any philanthrophy concerned with the blind such as theirs is truly worthwhile. I like pink and blue. Also, their letters DG correspond to the motto - Do Good. Mainly, though, I just like the personalities of the girls/members that I have met through the years. Recently I met a Mizzou DG undergrad who was really fun and impressed me. She reminded me of my DG friends.
Alpha Phi - my best friend and a second cousin were Alpha Phi's. Also, Lady Bird Johnson turned down an Alpha Phi bid because her family did not want her to be Greek (I read this in a book on her). These girls have such courage and grace, and I like the symbols- the bear, the ivy, and two beautiful flowers- the forget-me-not and the lily of the valley. They remind me of Spring, my favorite time of the year. Also, their national headquarters is in Evanston, a close Chicago suburb.
But my love is with my own Pi Beta Phi.

I just LOVE Gamma Phi Beta and cannot imagine being anything else but if you insist, there are three "other" GLO's I'd consider ---
Kappa Alpha Theta - because my biological sister is one and I like what I have learned about them through her, plus when I rushed at USC back in
1974, my best friend was in Theta and I really wanted to be one (sadly, my being in ROTC was hard for all but 4 sororities to overlook at that time)
Phi Mu - I have grown to know and love Phi Mu because they are right here in Peachtree City - their HQtrs building is beautiful and I love looking at all their neat, historical decorations. They have an outstanding bond and are awesome Panhellenic supporters!
Chi Omega - I never gave them much of a chance at USC because they were smaller (their chapter is not there any more) but I was young and did not understand then what a strong sisterhood Chi Omega has. I am impressed by all the Chi Omega's I have met since becoming an alum.

I was torn between three groups even though we only went to two for our final round:
1) Delta Gamma, which was obviously my final choice...I really liked all of the women that I met during recruitment - they were all very nice and down to earth and everytime I stepped into that house, it felt like home to me. I also cried during pref and when I was talking to my Rho Gam about it, they mentioned that that was a sign...so I chose Delta Gamma and in turn Delta Gamma chose me. I love absolutely EVERYTHING about it - the anchor (our symbol), our colors bronze, pink & blue (pink & blue happen to be two of my favorite colors!!!), our philanthropy (service for sight), our flower the cream colored rose (i want cream colored roses at my wedding! ) ...just EVERYTHING.
2) Alpha Phi - it was really hard because my roommate my freshman year is an Alpha Phi and she always used to tell me how much fun it was and told me everything about Alpha Phi, but she never ever pressured me into joining which I really liked. She was one of the sweetest girls I have ever met and eventually between then and the time I decided to go through fall recruitment, I already knew a good 75% of their chapter and a lot of them I was really good friends with. I really liked Alpha Phi's philanthropy...cardiac care is an awesome cause 
3) Kappa Kappa Gamma - like Delta Gamma, I loved the girls and KKG always had a nice atmosphere everytime I was around. The girls were very easy to talk to...however, I realized that Delta Gamma had "something more" (for me). I really liked Kappa's colors and the fleur de lis.
Even though I would NEVER EVER EVER have it any other way, has anyone here ever thought about what would it be like if they chose their second or third choice rather than their first? For example I always wonder what it would be like if I chose KKG or Alpha Phi instead of DG, or vice versa, etc.

Being a jewelry girl, I'd have to say Kappa Alpha Theta - they now have turquoise as an option on their badge and I just love it ( www.hjgreek.com) and every Theta I have ever met has been an outstanding woman of character, loyalty and determination.

As much as I love being an ADPi, I think I would've loved to have been:
- Zeta Tau Alpha: love their colors, have many ZTA friends
- Kappa Delta: I am a Girl Scout (Daisy through Gold Award!), so I really love their philanthropy work.
- Kappa Kappa Gamma: love their colors, symbols, etc...
- Sigma Kappa: to be honest, there is a joke that I am an honorary SK because I have so many SK friends and I'm always in their house. (which is connected to ours)

Hmm, I would have to go with these three choices in this order...
1st Delta Gamma- I love the "Do Good" motto, plus the colors and anchor symbol. Plus all the DGs I have ever met are fab.
2nd Delta Delta Delta- My mother's house. I have learned a lot about tri-delta over the years, and I really do like them. Their symbols and triangles are pretty cool as well.
3rd Kappa Kappa Gamma- So I could still be in the Magnificent Monmouth Duo!!!

Before I went to college, I thought if I wasn't a Tri Delta, my life would be over. However, I ended up where I truly belonged.
As an alumnae and involved at all different levels for KD, I must say I am very impressed with Kappa Kappa Gamma on a National level. Also, I feel that Chi Omega has done something right when it comes to alumnae involvement on both a community, Panhellenic and Collegiate level. They are truly awe-inspiring.

I think i would have gone
1) KKG - I love the color and their symbols.
or
2) ZTA - I love the crown and their color. The girls know from ZTA are some of the nicest girls I've met.

i know i am not in a GLO but here goes:
Tri Delta - The girls that i know of that are TriDelts are super sweet. They are a really strong org and they were founded exactly 100 years before i was born [neglecting the time of day] how cool is that? oh and their HQ's are in my state.... like 30 mins from where i live actually.
Kappa - I Love blue, and i doodle the fleur de lis all the time.
Gamma Phi - We used to have a chapter here but it shut down. While i personally don't know any Gamma phi's i love their symbols and colors.

I would have chosen either Chi Omega or Tri Delta. I know so many wonderful women from these organizations!

Tri Delta.
One of my closest and dearest friends is a Tri Delta (no hyphen, as she pointed out, and it drives her nuts). It would be neat to share that with her.
