Athletes in Sororities

It really depends on the school and the coach. We had a member of the women's golf team in our chapter and DG had a member of the women's tennis team. Kappa Sigma had quite a few athletes at that time too: wrestling, baseball, track. Bobby Knight did not allow basketball players to pledge. There were football players who were Kappas, Alphas, Ques, and Sigmas. Kappas used to have a house on Greek row, my school is their Alpha Chapter.

At the campus where I advise, the sororities really like having athletes. The issues there center more around the coaches, who are mostly hostile towards Greek life. We've had a couple of sisters who quit their sports because of this in the past. It's really too bad the coaches feel that way.

Bob Knight must have changed his policy by spring 1992 - Alan Henderson and Chris Reynolds both pledged Kappa Alpha Psi that semester. : )
