Getting Sororities to Give You The Time of Day

[33girl]

Sit in the caf, near the sororities, so they can see you. Be sure you look hot.

When you DO have mixers, make sure you publicly thank the sorority you mixed with, thru the school paper or Facebook or whatever. Not only is this the polite thing to do it lets other sororities see that you're mixing.

Participate in intramurals if your school has them.

If the guys have time, get some of them to step outside their comfort zone and join extracurricular activities that aren't specifically to do with their major.

I would only do this if it is fairly common/would likely be accepted in the culture on your campus. It could come across as extra creepy/awkward if no fraternity or sorority has ever done something like that before, especially if it's a newspaper ad.
That said, if it seems like it would fit in when you're in school, it might be a great idea!


Also, I get the vibe that you're in a pre-professional fraternity, engineering or something. That could be your problem also. Sororities may be surprised to get a mixer invite from an org that isn't primarily social. That said, if your brothers work on befriending girls before you invite them to mix, you should be okay.

My fraternity's in a very weird spot in terms of stance. We say we're social (we're in the IFC), but the major restrictions and some of the side activities really make things interesting. For example, we're also part of our campus EJC (engineers joint council), and several actual pre-professional fraternities actually explicity (and IMO, rightfully) exclude my fraternity under their dual-membership rules. Hmm, I guess I've given enough info that you guys can figure out which fraternity I'm in already...

Maybe we just need to emphasize the social aspect of our group a lot more, since up until now, it's mostly been an internal thing.

In terms of size, on my campus, the PHC sororities have an average membership of 120 whereas the average IFC fraternity is at ~40.

LOL, I didn't mean a giant ad, I meant a little classified ad.

Although it makes me kind of sad to think that thanking someone for their time and hospitality would ever be regarded as creepy...

A lot of times after a particularly nice event some of the girls will put up on their facebook status "KKG <3 XYZ!" The other way around (XYZ <3 KKG!) works too. Random, little, but helpful if you're trying to improve your rep with the girls. Everyone likes to be appreciated!
