How did you learn about Greek life?

Because he was in local, though, it was a bit different for me when I pledged an NPC, because I had certain preconceived notions about sororities and fraternities which weren't true, at least for the ones I encountered. I grew up at my brother's college, going to fraternity events and actually visiting his house, as well as my sister-in-law's. Alethia Si, I believe my brother and sister-in-law went to your college.

LOL kathykd2005 you are right! they did go to my school, and actually her brother is in my brother fraternity, so technically, are we related? lol

I totally think so.

I first learned about greek life from a neighbor when I was about 14. She gave me "A Southern Belle Primer, or Why Princess Margaret Will Never Be a Kappa Kappa Gamma" to read. Not the best initial experience and I got pretty turned off of greek life!

So I didn't think about it again until senior year when my best friend was gearing up for UGA recruitment. She somehow knew so much about sororities and ended up joining the same chapter as the neighbor - ADPi. I spent a lot of time at the house freshman & sophomore year and heard her stories. So when I graduated from my junior college and went into Emory, I knew I wanted to see if it was for me.

I think it's just a bit ironic that I joined Kappa Kappa Gamma.
