The fraternities of the Machine use to pretty much tell the sororities what to do, and NEVER backed a sorority member for an SGA office. That has changed...some. Really, the sororities have WAY more members than fraternities and ought to take over the Machine! (And yes, I admire Minda Riley for standing up to them!)

The First Circle sororities are KD, DDD & AGD. I don't really remember the history behind it, I just remember thinking that it was because those were the first sororities on campus. But seeing as how I only know KD's history I cannot vouch for that.

First Circle had a private party every year and that was pretty much the extent....I don't know if they still do this or not but I am certain no one refers to them as "First Circle" in everyday chatter.
