Which sorority would you join?

[LoggerTheta]

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.

[AGDLynn]

ADPi because my niece is one and I'd love to share it with her ..or..
Delta Gamma because my sil is one.
Chi Omega - very strong nationally
Phi Mu - Georgia-born and I've been to their beautiful HQ.
KKG - just cause

[GPhiBLtColonel]

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.

[em_adpi]

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)

[ArrowGirl2007]

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!!!

[ms_gwyn]

mmmmm

Farmville Four Love: KD
Just cause: KKG
Because of the history: ADPi
Cause if Ida Martin Shaw: Tri Delta

[Just interested]

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.

[AOIIRhoDelta]

Sigma Kappa would probably win out because my mom was one! I used to love to read the magazine when I was little and pretend I was in a sorority.

Otherwise, Kappa Kappa Gamma! I love their badge, their letters, their symbols, etc. I also really wanted to go Kappa at the other school I was considering before I decided to go to Samford.

Tri Delta has my favorite badge of all, so it's another contender. One of my best friends at another school is a tri delt, too.

Zeta is runner up... I just love the crowns and strawberries! I loved them during rush too! What a great group of girls.

[BBelleADPi]

My choices:

Phi Mu, because of many of the reasons that Honey and other ADPis have listed, and because I am simply so familiar with them. Also, their chapters do extremely well in just about every Southern campus they are on.

Kappa Delta. They truly are "KD ladies" and I had many KD friends in school. Love their Girl Scout work, and again, their Southern chapters are very strong everywhere. (I am SO excited that they were chosen to colonize at Georgia College and State University-they will be a perfect addition to the already very classy and strong Panhellenic group there.)

Zeta Tau Alpha. Strong Southern chapters, philanthropy, and yep, gotta love those crowns! (When I was in school, early seventies, I don't remember them doing much with the crowns at all-they were more known for the strawberry thing.)

I will also throw in Kappa Kappa Gamma-colors, symbol, strong down South-(and don't we all just love the sound of "Kappa Kappa Gamma"?) And Alpha Xi Delta, because of receiving my daughter's Quill here at the house-they seem to have a very different "slant" than ADPi and others I am familiar with. I mean this in a complimentary way, obviously, and I can't put my finger on what it is exactly, nor explain it. But it's all good!

[ASUADPi]

(repeating my sisters)

If I hadn't gone ADPi and if there was a Phi Mu chapter in AZ, I have a feeling I would have gone Phi Mu. I love everything about Phi Mu.

Now imagining myself at 18 based on superficial reasons I would have wanted to have gone the following:

Based on their badges: Theta, DG, ZTA, Phi Mu & KD
Based on their colors: Gamma Phi, DZ

At 18 another huge thing for me was the cost of each chapter, so that would have weighed into my decsions

[LoveKU28]

I knew I wanted to be an ADPi the first day of Formal Recruitment. Now that I have spent a semester meeting women from the 13 sororities here on campus, I would want to be....

1) Alpha Chi Omega- This was my second favorite chapter during FR. I did "wanna wear the golden lyre!" Their house is so elegant at the chapter here! I love their philanthropy and their ties to music since I am a proud flutist! I love a lot of Alpha Chi's that I have met! They seem pretty similar to the friends I have as sisters in ADPi!

2) Kappa Kappa Gamma- My roomie is a Kappa and I love her to death, so that's reason enough for me to like Kappa! It's also cool that she and I share similar sorority colors, so our room decor goes together nicely The way they presented themselves during FR here is amazing; every girl looked so gorgeous and I had the best conversation there! If you ever make it to Lawrence, take a trip up Gower Place to see their AMAZING house! They have like forty million front steps, lined in flowers! Not to mention how cute their light-up key sign on the front of the house is!

3) Alpha Gamma Delta- My really good friend is an AGD, so I spend a lot of time with her sisters. They are so incredibly close! I hang out with my sisters frequently, but the AGD's spend soo much time together! They all hang out at the same places as each other and plan movie nights and dinners together. Their pref ceremony was beautiful during FR. I also love when the squirrels come along while I'm in my backyard!

[TrojanWoman]

1. Delta Gamma - It was the other house that I preffed and I loved all of the women I met there. The house was beautiful and being a beach girl, I loved the nautical theme.

2. Pi Beta Phi - Their house was spectacular, I loved all of their songs during rush (silly, I know), the women were very active around campus, and I liked their colors.

[AXi1257]

I always thought Kappa Kappa Gamma was awesome... don't know why since I knew nothing about greek life really... guessing it's just 'cuz I read it somewhere. I did think it was cool that A Xi had considered merging with KKG prior to going national.

Kappa Delta since my cousin is a KD and we didn't have a chapter where I went to school.

My alma mater has Pi Phi, Theta, and A Phi and all were great choices I think. Chi O, Gamma Phi, and Tri Delta were also there at one point in time as well and are great choices.

I love the crown of Zeta Tau Alpha- who wouldn't!!?
