Ok, I know the point of this is to write about all the sororities, but I should be studying for finals/the GRE so I am going to write about the 4 NPCs at my school:

ADPi- Some of the sweetest girls on campus. I've gotten to know some of them really well and I love the things they do for each other and the community.

AEPhi- Well duh!

GPhiB- Our chapters have been historically close on campus and I LOVE the older girls so much!!!

Tri Delta- These girls are ALWAYS raising money for St Judes. It is amazing how much they care about their philanthropy.

[AOIIRhoDelta]

Wow, this took a long time, but it was fun :-). I enjoyed looking around on the websites of those I didn't know much about.

Alpha Chi Omega--As a music major, I love their musical background.
Alpha Delta Pi--"We live for each other." What incredible sisterhood!
Alpha Epsilon Phi--giraffes! how cute--love the mascot.
Alpha Gamma Delta--One of my best friends is AGD! I know at her campus, they have the highest GPA. Also, squirrels are cute.
Alpha Omicron Pi--I am proud to be AOII.
Alpha Phi--love the flowers and the ivy leaf
Alpha Sigma Alpha--the website is really pretty
Alpha Sigma Tau--their national hq is where I go to school. I wonder why we don't have a chapter? Love the anchors and colors.
Alpha Xi Delta--one of my bffs is an Alpha Xi--yay!
Chi Omega--I think it's a funny story how the founders chose the letters for their organization--probably the same way I would had I founded my own sorority! They just cut out a bunch and put them together to see which would look the best together (I hope this is accurate, I remember reading it somewhere). The X and a horseshoe look quite nice together, I think :-).
Delta Delta Delta--their house at Bama is the most interesting one I've ever seen. I know a lot of really sweet tridelts, one of my very best friends included.g
Delta Gamma--lovely badge. Also, Eva Marie Saint was a DG. Eva Marie Saint was in "North by Northwest". N by NW also contains Cary Grant. I approve.
Delta Phi Epsilon--Only sorority founded at a professional school, so they are unique.
Delta Zeta--pink and green!!
Gamma Phi Beta--One of my friends is a Gamma Phi at UA and she is an amazing girl!
Kappa Alpha Theta--Dian Fossey, Agnes DeMille, Rue McClanahan, Laura Bush, Ida Tarbell and Amy Grant were all Thetas. That's a pretty diverse group of famous alums--and there are many more. I also love the kite!
Kappa Delta--Pearl S. Buck and Georgia O'Keeffe were both KD--a talented bunch :-).
Kappa Kappa Gamma -- Had I chosen to go to my other first choice school, I would have loved to be a Kappa (we don't have Kappa at my campus, and they don't have AOII). The Kappa girls I know are wonderful! I also love their pin.
Phi Mu--I preffed Phi Mu. Their creed, which was read to us during the pref ceremony, is beautiful and true.
Phi Sigma Sigma--first non-sectarian sorority.
Pi Beta Phi--Every Pi Phi chapter I've ever heard of has a good reputation--whether it's for being smart, pretty or all-around great. Two girls I knew in high school went Pi Phi--and they are two amazing girls.
Sigma Delta Tau--ooh, I love their jewel. Lapis Lazuli--so pretty and so fun to say!
Sigma Kappa--my mom was a Sigma Kappa. As a little girl, that's what I wanted to be--I would read my mom's alumna magazine and pretend I was in a sorority (unfortunately my campus doesn't have Sigma Kappa). "One heart, one way"--love the motto.
Sigma Sigma Sigma--I think it's pretty cool how each initiate gets a copy of their history.
Theta Phi Alpha--Don't know much about them, but they have a lovely badge. I love penguins, too. What a cute mascot!
Zeta Tau Alpha--I love the crowns and strawberries and their open motto. I know plenty of awesome Zetas, including my lesson teacher (I'm a music major :-D)

This made me smile and laugh; it's so cute. I'd approve of anything even remotely related to Cary Grant too!

Pi Beta Phi - really cool colors: wine and silver blue... also the pin is very unique--i've never seen anything like it

[AOII Angel]

So...I wrote out my entire list and GC lost it! AHHHHHH! Here goes.

Alpha Gamma Delta- You guys have an easily accessible full list of chapters, active and inactive, that I really appreciated while researching the NPC Eta chapters. I really think we should not try to hide our inactive chapters. We need to remember that these chapters served our sisters and spread our messages while they survived!

Alpha Delta Pi- I love the Adelphian tradition. They are a great start to a long greek history!

Alpha Epsilon Phi- Since this was the only chapter other than AOII to begin at Barnard college, I have to love this group! I also appreciate the Jewish tradition which is mirrored in AOII since our most influential founder, Stella, was a strong Jewish woman!

Alpha Xi Delta- I really love your new website. I plan on playing a little more later!! I also like the Unitarian tradition of your group which is unique in the NPC.

Alpha Omicron Pi- What can I say? This organization has made me a better citizen, a better sister (to my bio sisters and AOII sisters), a better friend, a better wife, a better doctor and a better person in general. I'm really excited to be involved as an alumna so I can use my talents and skills to give back to a group that has given me so much!

Alpha Sigma Alpha- Women of poise and purpose...I love this description!

Alpha Sigma Tau- I love your open motto- Active, Self Relient, Trustworthy. Isn't that what all people should be?

Alpha Phi- I really like the lazy phi badge... so beautiful and distinctive.

Alpha Chi Omega- I love how intricate your badge is with the tiny twisted gold lyre strings!

Gamma Phi Beta- I am intriugued by the Hebrew letters on your badge! I'd love to know what it means...alas, I shall never know!!

Delta Gamma- I enjoy the minutes posted on your website from the first meetings of Delta Gamma. Your founders were so academic! These are a really sweet reminder of the kind of women who started your sorority.

Delta Delta Delta- Wow! $10 million over 10 years for a new patient ward at St. Jude's! That's putting your money where your mouth is! Keep up the great work!!

Delta Zeta- I love your creed. I hope I live up to those ideals even though I'm not a DZ!

Delta Phi Epsilon- To be rather than to seem to be...in other words, "Don't be fake!" Love it!

Zeta Tau Alpha- my aunt is a Zeta. Of all of the NPC badges, I love yours the best. I love the delicate shape. It is very unique. Also, who doesn't want to wear a crown?

Theta Phi Alpha- I really want to see your president's badge. Diamond encrusted Theta (for national pres) or Sapphire encrusted Theta (for chapter pres) set on a wreath sounds beautiful! Does anyone have a pic?

Kappa Alpha Theta- My cousin's a Theta. After 17 years, she is still very active with her collegiate chapter. If she loves Theta that much, you have to be a wonderful group!

Kappa Delta- K-A-P-P-A, Kappa, K-A-P-P-P-A! D-E-L-T-A, Delta, D-E-L-T-A! We are the Kappa Deltas! We are the ones for you! We are the Kappa Deltas! Don't you wanna be a KD too? Don't you wanna be a KD too? I haven't gotten that chant out of my head in 15 years! I also really like the stars next to the K on your official logo!

Kappa Kappa Gamma- I love the fleur de lis which is a symbol of my home, Louisiana. Even though I now live in Baltimore, I have fleur de lis silverware, a fleur de lis wall plaque and as soon as I can get my decorator back over to my house, I'll have an etching on the glass over my front door.

Pi Beta Phi- I love your crest...it is unique, and I like that you guys frequently use it as a pin guard rather than a chapter guard.

Sigma Delta Tau- Prevention of child abuse is such a worthy cause. I hope you continue to have success with your philanthropy.

Sigma Kappa- I like to think about Colby college with three Sigma K chapters competing! I know, I know, they basically all went to meetings together, but I like the idea anyway!

Sigma Sigma Sigma- Essential Sigma seems like such a great program on paper. I hope it works even better in practice. I hope we all continue to provide education for our members through out their lives.

Phi Mu- I love the Philomathean name and tradition. I will always remember the Phi Mu "Ladies" on my campus. They lived up to the name!

Phi Sigma Sigma- "The brotherhood of man and the alleviation of the world's pain." Leave it to women to come up with such noble ideals!

Chi Omega- I really enjoy the stories of your sassy founders who wanted secrets like the fraternity men flaunted in front of them. Good for them to start their own secret society!

I still have the " I am a P, I am a P-I, I am a P-I-B-E-T-A-P-H-I!" chant stuck in my head.

[LucyKKG]

Alpha Chi Omega - I like the meaning of Alpha Chi Omega (first and last). The lyre is unique as well.
Alpha Delta Pi - I have two amazing childhood friends who are ADPi's, so I'm obviously a fan. I also love how they do the diamond thing in all of their pictures.
Alpha Epsilon Phi - The open motto: Many Hearts, One Purpose. It's really nice.
Alpha Gamma Delta - The squirrel is an adorable mascot!
Alpha Omicron Pi - I like that their chapters are based on "sub-mottoes". (I read that on wikipedia)
Alpha Phi - Alpha Phi has always seemed so classy to me. I also really like the ivy.
Alpha Sigma Alpha - I like the phoenix.
Alpha Sigma Tau - Emerald green and gold are really pretty together.
Alpha Xi Delta - Having been a charter member of a different GLO, I really like that they have a different pin for Colony NMs. They are a different breed than NMs of an existing chapter! (I mean that in the most endearing way possible.)
Chi Omega - I think Chi-O is a really cute nickname. I also like their mascot (the owl).
Delta Delta Delta - Their pin is really pretty. I also just like the name.
Delta Gamma - I know some really sweet girls who are DGs. I like the anchor as well.
Delta Phi Epsilon - "To be rather than to seem to be" is an awesome open motto.
Delta Zeta - Pink and green are really cute together.
Gamma Phi Beta - Gamma Phi is the other NPC on my campus, and I know some really great girls in this org. I admire their chapter at my school.
Kappa Alpha Theta - Theta presented to us when we became national, and I was very impressed by their organization. They exemplified class in so many ways, and I liked their programs and values.
Kappa Delta - Pearl Buck and Georgia O-Keefe are KD's!
Kappa Kappa Gamma - I can't even begin to say how much I love Kappa. I have met so many amazing women and had so many great experiences in the short time that I've been a Kappa. I know I have many more great Kappa-filled years to come. "Oh the owl, the key, the fleur-de-lis, the blue and blue, well, that's for me! Rah, rah for KKG!"
Phi Mu - I really like their coat of arms and the French quote at the bottom of it. It says "the faithful sisters".
Phi Sigma Sigma - I think their official hymn is in German. That's so cool! I think most college students studied Greek and Latin back then, so this is super unique.
Pi Beta Phi - Their letters are aesthetically pleasing. I also like the arrow. Oh, and Monmouth Duo!
Sigma Delta Tau - Their torch pin is really pretty.
Sigma Kappa - Their 25-year pin is gorgeous!
Sigma Sigma Sigma - I like the 3 sigmas. The concept of their doll collection is adorable! When a chapter is installed, they dress a doll in the fashion of that year. They have 160 dolls.
Theta Phi Alpha - Penguins are my favorite animals!
Zeta Tau Alpha - The crowns are super cute!

[Fleur de Lis]

Alpha Chi Omega - I like that the founders were creating the first and last group of it's kind, so they choses the Alpha and Omega as their first and last symbols. A friend just pledged here, and it has made her college experience so rich already.

Alpha Delta Pi - my first experience with sororities was from two ADPis. They were both some of the classiest women I know and had an absolutely amazing house. It made me want to be in a sorority. Thanks ADPi! It's also pretty amazing to be able to say you're the first.

Alpha Epsilon Phi - Ruth Bader Ginsberg as an alumna is something to be proud of! And the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric Aids Foundation is a fabulous organization to support.

Alpha Gamma Delta - Wow - the widest spread active chapters of an international sorority! I also like your focus on healthy living and seeking "To develop and prize health and vigor of body".

Alpha Omicron Pi - I think it's wonderful that your symbols and rituals (so I hear are based on greek traditions, rather than Roman or Masonic. I also LOVE the red! And AOII has a great reputation of class.

Alpha Phi - growing up, my whole bedroom was ivy-themed. If only Alpha Phi were at my school, I'm sure I would have joined just for that!

Alpha Sigma Alpha - I like the open motto Aspire, Seek, Attain.

Alpha Sigma Tau - I like the idea of a national philanthropic service project (Habitat for Humanity). And it's so easy to find cute stuff with anchors on them!

Alpha Xi Delta - gorgeous badge! I think it's interesting you have exact instructions on how to wear it.

Chi Omega - the largest sorority and they also have love for the owl. I like the separate New Member website with all kinds of information. "The first secret was that Chi Omega didn't have any secrets. The founders wore ribbons tied together on their blouses to tease the boys. The colors of the ribbons were olive and crushed plum. Why? Because they were the ugliest colors the founders put together!" Too funny!!

Delta Delta Delta - When I was looking into recruitment, I thought that Tri-Delta was THE sorority to be in. I am amazed by the number of successful and famous alumnae. I like the pearl, pine tree, and pansy used to note the stages of membership.

Delta Gamma - a very diverse group of successful alumnae - from Joan Lunden to Ann Coulter to Patricia Heaton. And the anchor is SO in right now.

Delta Phi Epsilon - You also have love for the iris! That is my favorite flower. I think the PEARL program is great, with it's focus on development in the 5 S's: Sisterhood, Scholarship, Service, Social, and Self.

Delta Zeta - I love Joy Behar on The View. I also like that The Lamp features a little information from each chapter, so you know what your sisters are up to around the country.

Gamma Phi Beta - every sister I know is smart, fun, and friendly. The Crescent also has a great article about the Millenial generation and they seem very in touch with the collegiate woman.

Kappa Alpha Theta - everyone wanted to be a Theta during my recruitment. They always did things different, like stand up when everyone else sat or serve cider when everyone else had cokes. I think this extends to your membership, as all the Thetas I've met are very classy, together women.

Kappa Delta - A friend in high school had an older sister who was a KD, and she was so smart, gorgeous, and together, I thought KD must be THE classy sorority to have her as a member. And I'll always remember the colors (which I love!) because her room was covered in KD stuff.

Kappa Kappa Gamma - IamsohappythatIama! Kappa means more to me than any other organization I've been a part of. I'm always amazed by the support and encouragement I get from my sisters - locally and nationally.

Phi Mu - I think the quatrefoil is such a classy symbol! I also think it's great you can shop the carnation collection right off of the website (and there is some really cute stuff!) I also love the recruitment signs that say "welcome home" with a phi instead of an O in "home."

Phi Sigma Sigma - we share the sapphire with you! I love your vision: Phi Sigma Sigma is a dynamic sisterhood of powerful women fostering uncompromising principles, igniting positive change, and embracing individuality. Very powerful!

Pi Beta Phi - I just realized this was the first NPC to "go national." I have always wondered about this and think it's an amazing fact to claim! Plus, the Monmouth Duo always has a special place in my heart.

Sigma Delta Tau - Many dear friends of mine are SDTs. I also preffed here and was very tempted to put them first. I like that The Torch is easily opened online, and it's filled with SDTs doing great things and calls to action for helping out locally to nationally.

Sigma Kappa - your website is so easy to navigate and full of useful information. The Virtual Violet is a fantastic idea - a monthly email newsletter where alumnae can keep in touch on a local and national level.

Sigma Sigma Sigma - I love the sailboat symbolizing continual forward motion, never moving backward, but progressing towards its destination. And it must be so easy to get paraphernalia in the summertime.

Theta Phi Alpha - What an amazing creed! "justice to each fellow man, wisdom in each deed and plan, loyalty to every friend, faith that sorrow can transcend, truth to God and self, honor valued over wealth..." If only we all strove to live by these words.

Zeta Tau Alpha - I volunteer with Susan G. Komen for the Cure, and local Zetas are a huge part of our support team. Thank you Zeta!! I also adore the five-pointed crown as a symbol. And collegians get Self magazine as a membership benefit??? Wow!

[ComradesTrue]

Time to resurrect this thread- it is great!

Okay, like everyone else, of course I love all aspects of my own organization. But in the spirit of the exercise, I have put aside all personal biases.

Here goes:

Alpha Chi Omega-I love the musical influence of the founding of this organization; Mary Ann from Gilligan’s Island was an Alpha Chi

Alpha Delta Pi- never thought I would actually need a Ronald McDonald house, but lo and behold… when I did it was there, and I was very thankful to the many supporters and contributors who helped make it a reality. I am also in awe of the vision that the Founders of this organization had… and if they had any idea of what GLOs for women would become

Alpha Epsilon Phi-I like the history of the founding. Oh, and it can claim both Dinah Shore and Charlotte Rae!

Alpha Gamma Delta- I like the way it sounds (just rolls off the tongue) and I think the way the letters look together is the best. One of the better websites.

Alpha Omicron Pi- It’s very memorable that the color, flower, jewel, etc are all red.

Alpha Phi- when it seemed a “foregone conclusion” to many which would be the two chosen organizations to colonize at Bama, Alpha Phi clearly came in and rocked! Way to go… your presentation must have been very impressive, and the selection well deserved. Best Wishes to you! Also, I love it that there is an “official” constellation!

Alpha Sigma Alpha- beautiful Creed and a classy website

Alpha Sigma Tau- great philanthropy and I like that each chapter can choose another philanthropy to support

Alpha Xi Delta- Xi has got to be the best Greek letter of all, and the combination of dark blue, light blue and gold are the best color combinations

Chi Omega- I like their emphasis on scholarship. It seems that on every campus that I know of the Chi-O’s are near the top in grades and are campus leaders.

Delta Delta Delta- Beautiful open motto of “Let us steadfastly love one another;” love that the philanthropy is St. Jude’s… very noble facility and worthy of every dime it receives

Delta Gamma- my best friend is a Delta Gamma; like the motto of Do Good- simple, but yet it says everything that needs to be said. My favorite sitcom character ever, Elaine Benes, was played by Julia Louis-Dreyfuss a DG.

Delta Phi Epsilon- motto: Esse Quam Videri: to be rather than to seem to be.

Delta Zeta- I have the best mother-in-law on the planet, and she was a Delta Zeta at ‘Bama. I also love their philanthropy, as it aligns with my career.

Gamma Phi Beta- Members seem to be all over the GC boards! Also, have 2 great new colonies in TX, including one at my alma mater.

Kappa Alpha Theta- I love the bravery that the Founders exhibited in becoming the first open GLO for women at a time when women on campus were not wanted. Also, props for having Sheryl Crow, Amy Grant, and all those Republicans!

Kappa Delta- The Purpose and The Open Motto are beautiful

Kappa Kappa Gamma- They have my favorite badge of all! Every Kappa that I have ever known has been a classy and respectable woman.

Phi Mu- Website is terrific. I also like the word Philomathean. It is just fun to say!

Phi Sigma Sigma- I loved this: “Phi Sigma Sigma is a dynamic sisterhood of women with different backgrounds but similar values. Our commitment to inclusiveness binds us, and results in stronger women who embrace individuality and share this philosophy with the world

Pi Beta Phi- Liking the arrow! (I tend to like inanimate symbols best… key, kite, arrow, etc). The Pi Phis on my campus were so fun… I had many friends in that organization. I also like that the Holt House, where the founding of Pi Beta Phi occurred, is in their possession and is set up like a museum

Sigma Delta Tau- love Prevention of Child Abuse as the philanthropy; also like that one of the colors is “café au lait”

Sigma Kappa- Our babysitter is a Sigma Kappa… she is adorable, classy, smart and very respectable. When I was an undergrad, our very wonderful Greek Advisor was a Sigma Kappa, and she always spoke very highly of the organization (we didn’t have it on our campus at the time

Sigma Sigma Sigma- My favorite professor in grad school was a Sigma... she is a very classy woman and remains very involved with the local chapter

Theta Phi Alpha- I like the compass… very unique.

Zeta Tau Alpha- The Susan G Komen organization does so much for so many women. I know that ZTA now supports all breast cancer causes, but I appreciate the specific support that they provide to survivors at Race for the Cure events. I also had a blast at the ZTA house on my campus during rush, and can still sing some of their rush songs….

[fyrnymph]

Alpha Chi Omega- I love the connection to music.
Alpha Delta Pi-They paved the way.
Alpha Epsilon Phi- the giraffe, and the reason it was chosen as a mascot, is cool.
Alpha Gamma Delta- love those squirrels!
Alpha Omicron Pi- I like their simplicity.
Alpha Phi- love their "Little Dipper" program for legacies.
Alpha Sigma Alpha- The phoenix is so unique -
Alpha Sigma Tau- their hq is in Alabama - and I like the anchor.
Alpha Xi Delta- the quill is beautiful, and although all A Xi Ds don't like it, I think "fuzzie" is a cute nickname.
Chi Omega- I love their colors.
Delta Delta Delta- I love the trident guard for their pin.
