You get a badge.
You pay dues.
There are weekly meetings.
There is a promise and law.
There is a GS handshake.
You have ceremonies like bridging, etc.
There are colors.
We learned about our founders and our history. <a href = "http://www.girlscouts.org/about/history.html"</a>
Girl Scouts encourages alumni participation.
Troops normally start at schools.
You do service projects.

I totally think G S of A is like a sorority for little girls. I was a girl scout for 8 years and I feel that it inspired me in the same way that my sorority has.

Actually, Kappa Delta volunteers with the girl scouts, which is really cool I was looking at the GSA website and there was a pic of a KD in her letters...way to go greeks

I am glad that someone started this thread 'cause I have been in awe of the similarities since I joined DZ.

Little pet peeve here....being a 39 year member of the GIRL SCOUTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA..or GSUSA.

The BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA or BSA often causes the confusion in the abbreviation.

Thanks for your understanding
