Kappa Kappa Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta. I knew about both before college and although neither were on my campus I've always been impressed by them.

I would probably go Chi O - I believe them to have a strong sisterhood and have a good national reputation. On my campus they were a large chapter, very diverse, and known for good scholarship (and I was a bit of a nerd in h.s.). I don't really care for their colors but I love their badge and that whole dead owl thing has always intrigued me... Plus their letters look cool together!

As for symbols, colors, etc. I would go KD, Pi Phi, or KKG. I love all of their badges and colors and the fleur de lis is so easy to find in jewelry items!

Alpha Chi Omega is obviously my favorite and I would never change, but...

Phi Mu, even though we don't have them on our campus. For some reason, I've always felt a strong connection towards Phi Mu and I love their history, symbols, and values. I also recently found out that our house is the old Phi Mu house!

I loved Tri Delta during recruitment... I feel like Tri Delta is a wonderful organization and was the first sorority I ever knew of. I think they are probably the most recognized sorority. Their motto is absolutely beautiful.

I also somehow feel a strong connection to ADPi, even though they are not on our campus. I love their motto - probably my favorite of all the NPC groups.

But I also love the 7 other NPCs at my school - Chi O, Tri Delta, DG, Gamma Phi, Theta, Kappa, and Pi Phi - and I would have been honored to find my home at any of them.

I absolutely love being a Pi Phi. I'm still an undergrad active, but I know that this is going to be the best decision I made throughout all of college -- and I'm not nearly done!

Since I went COB and was somewhat able to "choose" what sorority recruitment I wanted to take part in...

I STRONGLY considered Phi Mu (I went to Pi Phi recruitment the first night and planned on going to Phi Mu the next night... needless to say, I fell instantly in love with Pi Phi!) but I love Phi Mu's motto, their colors, their symbol, and philanthropy. Plus, every Phi Mu on my campus is a total sweetheart, and I had a few friends in there.

And if there was a chapter I would have liked Kappa Kappa Gamma. I love their symbols, flower, jewel, colors, etc. Plus, they are the other half of the Monmouth Duo so that adds to it.

Very good question the OP posed!

I would have to say:

Alpha Chi Omega- I love their colors, badge, and symbols! I had many Alpha Chis as close friends during college and they were always classy and one of the most well respected groups on campus. They were also founded at Depauw, and I have always considered them a sister sorority!

Kappa Delta- When I first went to college, KD was fairly new on campus, and I quickly became friends with many of the founding sisters. They were wonderful representations of their sisterhood! I also LOVE their colors! Green is my absolute favorite color, and the white rose is my favorite flower.

Gamma Phi Beta- There was not a chapter of Gamma Phi at my campus, but my aunt is a proud sister of Gamma Phi Beta. I have always admired these ladies, and gotten to know many of you on GC!

Alpha Delta Pi- I love their history, colors, and symbols! Also my other aunt is a proud Alpha Delta Pi!

Of course, I will always and forever be a sister of the Black & Gold

Figure out what kind of sorority you're interested in first.

Kappa AlphaTheta - Two of my cousins who I am extremely close to are Thetas, so I grew up around lots of black & gold, kites and pansies =-). I love everything about Theta, and I wonder what would have happened if I had gone to a school with a chapter

Alpha Delta Pi - I love everything about ADPi from the colors to the mascots, the badge to the philanthropy. The girls in the chapter at my school are also some of the sweetest, most amazing girls I've ever met. It would be an honor to call them sister.

Zeta Tau Alpha, Kappa Delta and Delta Gamma are also ones I'd love to pledge, based on superficial resons alone. I love Zeta & KD's hand signs they do in pictures, and or course the colors, symbols and badges of those groups.

But, I know without a doubt I was born to be a Kappa Kappa Gamma and I wouldn't trade wearing my golden key for anything!

What a fun thread this has been to read! I'm glad it got a bump.

I started college at 17 and didn't really know what a sorority was... I was the first member of my family who lived in Texas to go to college, and I'm pretty sure none of my extended family outside Texas ever went Greek.

So basing my answer on being 17, and on the very first sorority member I ever got to know well (who was my RA on my dorm floor that first year and was truly one of the nicest people I met during my college days), I'd have to say that if I'd gone Greek then, I might be a proud sister of Alpha Chi Omega today! My favorite color is red and I was a music major when I started college, so I was drawn to them a bit.

Probably ZTA since that's what my mom was and I love their philanthropy.

For reasons of vanity, Theta, because their initials are the same as mine. Seriously, though, I did attend their presentation to expand on our campus when I was an advisor, and it was head and shoulders above the others we saw, just outstandingly classy. I think they must have been first choice on all the ballots as we voted among five groups.

Maybe also ZTA as a fellow Farmville Four. They seem quite a bit like KD.

But they all sound great, except for one that I have reservations about. I know that's not in the Panhellenic spirit, but it's for a good reason.

If I had known at 18 that my grandmother was in a sorority (she was hospitalized when I entered college and died at winter break my freshman year), I would have wanted to join an AXO chapter to share that bond with her.

AXOs four values are strong and although I never got the musical gene from that side of the family, I do look good in red!

If I couldn't be an A-Phi I'd probably choose Kappa Kappa Gamma. They were the other house I went to on Pref and it was really tough to put them as my number 2, but in the end I'm glad I Pref'd Alpha Phi as my number 1!

The other one I'm really interested in is Gamma Phi Beta. I've met quite a few of them and they all have been super sweet girls. I think I'd fit in really well in thier house!

That was a good question!
