I saw you were the last poster on the thread, and I was hoping you were going to tell us which sorority you would join. You know, if you could.

They're all so amazing, how could I choose.

spoken like a true gentleman and diplomat!

Knowing what I know now, I would go Kappa Alpha Theta. My 18 year old self probably would have picked Kappa Delta, Delta Zeta, Delta Gamma, or Zeta Tau Alpha. Also, Tri Delta would have been on my list as well because my Grandmother was a Tri Delta and I liked the symmetry.

[tri deezy]

I want to know which sorority SenusretI would join.

[TehKatzor]

Well, I'd NEVER give up being a Delta Gamma; I take a huge amount of pride in my sorority!! That said, if I had to pick based on other stuff...

ΔΦΕ -- Their philanthropy (anorexia nervosa) is really meaningful to me, having struggled with the disorder myself, and their open motto (Esse Quam Videri; "to be, rather than to seem to be") really intrigues me. I LOVE the unicorn, and their crest is so cool. Also a huge fan of purple and gold. If there had been a ΔΦΕ chapter on my campus, I would have shown a lot of interest.

ΑΕΦ -- I'm Jewish, and that automatically attracted me to ΑΕΦ. I also love the symbolism behind the giraffe (biggest heart, and the head is above all others!). Lilies of the valley are also totally gorgeous... but nothing beats the cream-colored rose!

ΑΔΠ -- They were one of my pref round houses, and I really did love what I saw. Classy ladies, a great philanthropy, beautiful sisterhood. I really loved ΑΔΠ.

ΑΞΔ -- Love the crest, love the colors, love the philanthropy, love the teddy bear mascot. Plus, the DBF is likely going to rush Sig Nu, and ΑΞΔ has ties there.

ΔΔΔ -- I was very impressed with this house during recruitment, but on my campus they tend to be very choosy and usually only take girls with recs. The Tri-Delts I know are very classy and very friendly, and so outgoing and gorgeous inside and out. Such a strong national reputation, too.

ΠΒΦ -- Love the philanthropy, the colors, and the fact that it's got an incredibly strong national reputation. I did *not* like the chapter on my campus.

ΚΑΘ -- The Theta chapter at my college is full of smart, classy, gorgeous ladies who have a huge amount of house pride. I was very sad when I was cut after the second round. Again, super national reputation. Also, I love the black and gold!

ΚΔ -- Finally, ΚΔ. I was a Girl Scout for years and I actively support Dove's Campaign for Real Beauty. Like with Pi Phi, not the best chapter on our campus, but a good national sorority.

There's my incredibly long-winded answer, but still, I'd never give up my bronze, pink, and blue!

Just a word of advice: It's fine to say that you may not have liked ABC sorority at your school, but be careful to make statements like "not the best chapter on our campus." That sends a very different message and your definition of "the best" will differ from others.

Sorry! >< That is what I meant, that I didn't like the chapter on our campus. You're right, I did phrase that badly.

And even then, some things are often better left unsaid. Why say you don't like them when you could (1) say nothing or (2) say something more neutral, like you don't think you'd have been a good fit with them?

[GeorgiaRose]

I've been involved at several schools so it makes the decision difficult!

I loved the Tri-Delts when I preffed them - they were my second choice.

I had many friends in Chi-O.

I love the Zeta colors and the chapter and women where I live are wonderful.

Phi-Mui was founded in Georgia which is where my heart is and they have a lot of wonderful members.

Anybody who has a chapter at the University of Texas

Can I be in them all?

[GeorgiaRose]

or ADPi because my aunt was one and I would have liked the family connection.

[MUSK81]

For me, it would be ...

Theta Phi Alpha, for their Catholic heritage, their Appalachian and homeless philanthropic activities and their creed.

Alpha Sigma Alpha, because someone I admire very much is one and one of them contributed to the success of West Virginia's own Rocket Boys.

Alpha Gamma Delta, for their adorable mascot.

Alpha Chi Omega, for their beautiful badge and fine arts heritiage. I preffed them when I rushed.

Alpha Xi Delta, for their strong sisterhood. Although I personally didn't feel I was right for the chapter on my campus, I always admired their strength.

and Pi Beta Phi, since I think it's cool that they have an elementary school named after them in North Carolina.

There is also an outpatient brain injury rehab center in Nashville named after them. Thanks to the Nashville Pi Phi alumnae for their continued very generous support of the Bill Wilkerson Center, a comprehensive facility that treats all types of speech, language and hearing disorders.

As a former employee of the Bill Wilkerson Center, I can honestly say that my appreciation for Pi Beta Phi just grows stronger every year.

I have never told anybody what she told me, but from a ritualistic standpoint I think it's jaw-droppingly beautiful so I admire them a lot.

me = HORRIFIED. What an epic FAIL to that girl. I suppose it happens to every chapter though. But yes, I do think all of our rituals are beautiful, so it's flattering of you to say so.


I admire Pi Phi, DG (love the anchor), GPhiB (love the crescent moon), or ChiO because I have several friends and family members who are in those, and I adore them.

Pi Phi because of their historical significance to Gatlinburg, Tennesse and the Great Smoky Mountains (my favorite place on earth to visit).

Pi Phi, Phi Mu, and ADPi for their historical significance (one of the reasons I was so attracted to Theta on my own campus).

Zeta, because I very nearly put them first on my pref card instead of Theta.

So overall... I think Pi Phi wins! But there are so many others I admire.
