Athletes in Sororities

[LAblondeGPhi]

At UCLA, there was prestige associated with being an athlete. Not many came through recruitment, but we liked to get them when we could!

The chapter I advise has (or has had) several athletes, FWIW.

At UCLA, more athletes came thru recruitment this year. DG pledged a volleyball player & so did another house (wanna say Kappa). Chi O pledged a tennis player. There are some crew members who are in sororities. But I know some coaches highly discourage it. I've tried to promote it to the varsity soccer girls I know (about a dozen), but no luck. I don't think anyone on the UCLA women's soccer, softball or gymnastic teams are in sororitites (those teams have won national championships in very recent years). The last UCLA gymnast in a sorority may have been Kerri Strug (Theta).

At Tulsa University, The coaches were banning it so I researched famous athletes who are Greek (fraternities & sororities) specific to the GLOs at TU for the Director of Greek Life to discuss with the coaches of the women's teams, including 4 famous Athletes from TU.
