As for musical talent, I play guitar and sing country music : ) . As for athletic abilities I really have none to speak of, I ride horses if that counts and have been since I was knee high to a pigs eye. I cheerleaded in high school and danced ballet for 12 years but not that that really matters anymore now that I am out of high school lol.

LOL I have never heard this phrase before. As a New Englander married to a Southerner, I've heard my share of stuff that made me giggle. I can't get through an email or conversation with my FIL without laughing at something he says. But this one really made me chuckle.

Yes, especially if you are coming from a community college that doesnt offer a whole lot by way of extra-curricular to allow you to get involved there. I would probably list all of those items on your recruitment registration form since you are coming in as a sophomore from a community college.

I know it may not be popular here on GC to discuss reputations and tiers and such. However, as a UK alumnus, I am more than happy to list the "top" chapters at UK. The ones that are "respected, involved on campus, good grades, wins philanthropy's ect."

In alpha order they are as follows:

Alpha Delta Pi
Alpha Gamma Delta
Alpha Omicron Pi
Alpha Phi
Chi Omega
Delta Delta Delta
Delta Gamma
Delta Zeta
Kappa Alpha Theta
Kappa Delta
Kappa Kappa Gamma
Pi Beta Phi
Sigma Kappa

All of the philanthropies of the chapters are highly respected and noteworthy. Some of the events may be more popular than others but they are great philanthropies none the less.

If I may add to this. If I am thinking of the same [struggling] chapter, I would like to point out that unless things have drastically changed, the chapter is not in any danger of closing. It is financially solvent (i.e. doing well), and has an active and full social calendar. With so called "top tier" fraternities to boot.

The point I am trying to bring forward is that all the sororities at UK are respected and liked.

Go Cats!

I believe I said struggling just a tad and that would not imply danger of closing. Also from knowing and working with many of the sorority advisors on a regular basis at UK and Centre, as well as my own alma mater, I would say your list that you compiled is highly flawed with inaccuracies. No offense.

I think he made a list of all groups in alphabetical order, but I could be wrong.

Whoops! That does appear to be so. He made the comment of listing the top chapters and then I saw the list and was immediately irritated!

Sorry about that TSteven! I retract my my comment!

Ree-Xi, the crazy sayings even make me laugh sometimes, I swear my family always is coming out with these crazy sayings Ive never heard sometimes I feel they just make up these sayings on the spot, they usually involve comparing farm animals to something lol. My favorite southern saying by far though is "the higher the hair, the closer to heaven" lol gotta use that hair spray that would "stop a bird in flight" for that big hair for a southern girl lol

and as for activites in a small town jr college there close to non exsistant, but I was the secretary for college republicans at school if that counts really.

I would put that on there for the fact you did have an office and it shows you did atleast try to do something while at your jr. college. I wouldnt bring that up in conversation though because that might get into a political conversation and if you are talking to someone with a strong differing opinion than your own, it could get ugly. Sororities are taught not to talk about politics during recruitment anyway.

[VirginiaBluBell]

Oh of course not, no classy woman would ever bring up politics in a conversation! =P

I belong to a Bichon Frise organization, and we circulate a card with three Bichons on it, all with their hair about 4" higher than normal - with that exact saying on it! I'll have to scan it...
