No time right now to participate fully, but I had never seen this thread until someone revived it!

I LOVE that so many of you have taken the time to speak positively and appreciatively for the various GLO's. What a blessing it is to scroll through and get "warm fuzzies" from each of you!

[ZTAMich]

So I had to BUMP because this thread was mentioned at NY/NJ State Day for ZTA today!! A national officer mentioned that someone was looking on GC and saw this thread and how everyone loves Zetas chain of links that stand for each chapter. The chain, which rarely leaves IO except for Convention, made a special trip to NJ and we all got to see our link. So cool!

[katybelle04]

We just had our NC ZTA day two weeks ago!!! Yay for ZTA! I had such a blast at NLC this summer and we took plenty of pictures with our chapter's link at IO!!!

ZL!

[Fleur de Lis]

deserves to be bumped!

[msusigma]

Delta Delta Delta - one of the smartest women I worked with a few summers ago is a Tri Delta, plus I've a soft spot for the triple letter orgs!

Delta Gamma - a few of your sisters have really helped me out in a tight spot before, you are beautiful, fun, classy women and our chapter loves working with you!

I haven't read all of this thread so I'm sure I'm repeating things, but I wanted to say something about all the NPC groups even though I'm not familiar with them all.

Alpha Chi Omega – As someone who love music, I love their lyre pin and I like the philanthropic focus on domestic violence

Alpha Delta Pi – I love their motto/slogan “First Finest Forever. Since 1851” and that they have Prides within the chapter. I think it’s a cool integration of their mascot, which I also like.

Alpha Epsilon Phi – I read on this thread that part of the reason the giraffe was chosen as the mascot was because it has a big heart. I thought that was a lovely sentiment.

Alpha Gamma Delta – My Rho Chi was an Alpha Gam and I really liked and respected her. It was the same with everyone I met from the Alpha Gam chapter at my school – a classy group of ladies.

Alpha Omicron Pi – I really like the meaning of their publication, To Dragma, and I think the idea of putting a ribbon under their badge when a new collegiate chapter is installed is a great way to recognize the efforts of their new sisters.

Alpha Phi – I always thought their Red Dress Gala was a great and fun way to bring awareness to women’s heart disease

Alpha Sigma Alpha - I like their open motto of “Aspire, Seek, Attain” and that they have a fall and spring flower.

Alpha Sigma Tau – Having Habitat for Humanity as one of their philanthropies is awesome. I think it’s a great organization to be associated with.

Alpha Xi Delta – What can I say about the organization I love? It has helped me grow so much and transformed me into the person I am today. For that I will always be thankful.

Chi Omega – I met two ChiO’s from the same chapter after I graduated (who didn’t know each other as they weren’t in the chapter at the same time). They were such fun, bubbly gals I instantly became friends with them. It makes me love ChiO’s! And I can never get their Recruitment chant out of my head (Chi Omega, Chi Chi Omega, C-H-I-O-M-E-G-A)

Delta Delta Delta – I really like their symbols of the stars, the crescent, and the trident. And I think their open motto of “let us steadfastly love one another” is heartwarming (I don’t mean that in a trite way).

Delta Gamma – This is a little superficial, but I really like their anchor hand sign (arm sign?) I also like that the original badge was the letter H, which stood for Hope. However the website says that it was the watchword – but a watchword for what? Anyone know the answer?

Delta Phi Epsilon – Their colors are the same as my alma mater, so that’s a big plus right there! And their motto is wonderful - “to be rather than to seem to be.”

Delta Zeta – They have the same flower as we do! And I think it’s pretty smart to have a “Surfing Sisters” alum chapter for alumnae who don’t live near a college or alum group.

Gamma Phi Beta – I like that their colors were to honor a professor that helped the first Gamma Phi’s hold their first meetings. And having been a Camp Fire girl, I love their philanthropy!

Kappa Alpha Theta – I think it’s cool that they were the first fraternity to establish a chapter in Canada.

Kappa Delta – Since I have been advising I’ve met a lot of other sorority advisors. One of the most Panhellenic-spirited people I’ve ever met was the KD advisor. She rooted for every chapter and did everything she could to see that others succeeded. It gave me a very high opinion of KD.

Kappa Kappa Gamma – I really like their symbol, the key. And I think it’s cool that they’re expanding to Santa Clara because my cousin is going there!

Phi Mu – I like that one of their colors is rose (or pink) – it’s just fun and girly IMO. I also really like their motto of The Faithful Sisters and that it appears on their crest (as Les Soeurs Fideles).

Phi Sigma Sigma – I like the reasoning behind why the American Beauty Rose was chosen for their flower – “its statuesque beauty, and the balance of its sharp thorns and soft petals” (taken from their website). Girls can be both sharp and soft!

Pi Beta Phi – a gal I work with is a Pi Phi and is very chill and down to earth – a great example for their organization. And I like their symbol, the arrow.

Sigma Delta Tau – I think it’s cool that the man who wrote their ritual was referred to as a “brother” and was allowed to wear their pin.

Sigma Kappa – I have a lot of respect for the Sigma Kappa’s at the campus I advise because they are such hardworking and genuine women.

Sigma Sigma Sigma – I think the meaning of their symbol, the sailboat, is very aspiring. I like the idea of always moving forward, never moving back.

Theta Phi Alpha – I really like the creed, especially the “loyalty to every friend, faith that sorrow can transcend” part.

Zeta Tau Alpha – I have never met a ZTA I didn’t like. They are such fun and personable women – and I love their symbol of the crown and their motto “seek the noblest”.

[Bella796]

Alpha Chi Omega- Love your symphony and the lyre
Alpha Delta Pi- Very respected and ladylike plus who dosn't like diamonds??
Alpha Epsilon Phi- Love your philanthropies and your open motto.
Alpha Gamma Delta- Don't know much about and I havn't met an AGD yet but I worked at JDRF and my aunt died from diabetes so I respect them a lot.
Alpha Omicron Pi- I love that you don't have a crest and the story with Coke is cool!
Alpha Phi- I've never met an Alpha Phi and don't know but about them but I like their Ivy, I always thought it was really Greek.
Alpha Sigma Alpha- I like the motto, Aspire, Seek, Attain.
Alpha Sigma Tau- I like how it started as an educational sorority, great history.
Alpha Xi Delta-One of my sister's mom is a AZD and she was always there for us. This sister's best friend (and little) passed away and I told her mom. She immediately flew down to be with her daughter and be with the Chi Omega's and help us, she was my rock at that time.
Chi Omega- I chose Chi O because of the individuals in the chapter and I loved the national support and reputation.
Delta Delta Delta- Fabulous reputation and girls at my campus. I also love the trident.
Delta Gamma- Very jealous of the anchor, and my moms best friend is a DG!
Delta Phi Epsilon- I like your motto, to be rather than to seem to be. It reminds me of the Chi O symphony
Delta Zeta - There is something about DZ's that have always fascinated me. From their colors (superficial) to their crest. Plus I think you all have the best national website.
Gamma Phi Beta- I like the Founded on a Rock, it's a very strong motto and very feminist (it makes sense to me).
Kappa Alpha Theta- You have the most amazing alumnae. I also love the kite symbol.
Kappa Delta- love the Kadydid and Georgia O'Keefe!!!
Kappa Kappa Gamma- Kappa was the only sorority I knew before recruitment, such a strong national representation. I also have a thing for fleur de lis. Plus one of my best friends is one.
Phi Mu- I am super jealous of Phi Mu b.c my favorite author, Joyce Carol Oats is a Phi Mu. She is IMHO the most impressionable writer out there today. Plus she always mentions sororities in her stories (somehow).
Phi Sigma Sigma- I love all the Egyptian references, it's pretty cool and unique.
Pi Beta Phi- I think it's a great strong national sorority. My highschool bf just married a Pi Phi and she is really sweet.
Sigma Delta Tau- Great girls, and I've met a couple of your consultants all very nice. I also like the torch plus I would like to say cafe au lait!!
Sigma Kappa- My sanity (as I call my friend) is a SK. I obviously respect any organization that she chose but also love their history.
Sigma Sigma Sigma- I love the sailboat, it's always been a dream to learn how to sail, plus I love the signifiance behind it.
Theta Phi Alpha - Your open motto really sticks out to me and I can relate to it realy well.
Zeta Tau Alpha- I'm very jealous of the crowns and I love the whole story of the strawberries. When I was president of my chapter my closest friend was the president of ZTA, we are still really close.

I really love all sororities and I love that they were basically founded so that women could band together and have a close friendship with girls who were breaking the norm and seeking a career. I love how they all have the basic principles of seeking, striving, or doing your best. I am so proud to be a part of even one of these fabulous organizations.

[ComradesTrue]

Bumping for recruitment season and because this is one of my favorite threads on Greek Chat.

If you plan to post here, please recognize that the spirit of this thread is to say something positive about all 26 orgs... even the ones that you may not be personally familiar with. Part of the fun is looking up the groups that you might not have first-hand knowledge of and learning something new about our NPC sisters!

[violet_milagro]

Alpha Chi Omega- Your "Life Loyal" program is such a great way to keep track of alumna

Alpha Delta Pi- I love how you were founded as the "Adelphian Society". Such a cool history. (And gotta love the violets!)

Alpha Epsilon Phi- the open motto is so eloquent "many hearts, one purpose". I also liked the "Phi Phacts" section.

Alpha Gamma Delta- The squirrel is a cute mascot

Alpha Omicron Pi- The mother's pin is gorgeous! It's a leaf with greek word for "mother" on it. Neat idea!

Alpha Phi- The American Heart Association is a great philantropy, and the ivy and bear are great symbols! Also, the A-Phi's at Colorado School of Mines are a really fun bunch!

Alpha Sigma Alpha- A friend of mine is an ASA, and she recently went through a rough patch, and her sisters were so awesome in supporting her. I was so impressed with how they really stepped up to the plate for her.

Alpha Sigma Tau- I LOVE the anchor as your symbol! As a Navy brat, I'm really jealous

Alpha Xi Delta- I worked with an older lady who was an AZD, and she would tell me all about being in a sorority in Texas in the 1950's. AZD has beautiful traditions, and they sounds like great sisters!

Chi Omega- I love Chi-O! The cardinal and straw are beautiful colors, and the owl is such a neat symbol. My study partner in Organic Chemistry this past year is a Chi-O, and she was so awesome!

Delta Delta Delta- The TriDelts at Colorado State have a spectacular reputataion. They are so sweet!

Delta Gamma- Neat DG fact- Heloise from "Hints from Heloise" (in the newspaper) is a Delta Gamma! How cool!

Delta Phi Epsilon- The Pearl program sounds like a really good way to help members grow. (I really like the five S's: Sisterhood, Scholarship, Service, Social, and Self)

Delta Zeta - Their website has a beautiful layout, and was really easy to navigate. I really enjoyed researching their sorority!

Gamma Phi Beta- All of the G-Phi's I've met have been so sweet. And I love their symbols.

Kappa Alpha Theta- The kite-shaped badge looks really classy and I like their letters "KAT"

Kappa Delta- I love the nickname "KD Ladies". Their letters go together so well!

Kappa Kappa Gamma- A girl I lived with joined KKG this past fall and she invited me to their "Chili con Kappa" event. I had a blast! The Kappa's were so welcoming and their house at CSU (Fort Collins) is beautiful!

Phi Mu- A friend of mine's girlfriend is a Phi Mu at University of Houston, and she had originally been really skeptical about Greek Life. Luckily, she found her home at Phi Mu!

Phi Sigma Sigma- A close friend of mine recently joined Phi Sig, and she loves them! Her new sisters were so welcoming to her, and I'm so glad she's with a group that she loves.

Pi Beta Phi- I had pref'ed Pi Phi when I went through recruitment, and it was definately a touch choice between them and Sigma Kappa. I ended up choosing SK, but I have a deep respect for Pi Phi.

Sigma Delta Tau- Preventing child abuse is an absolutely essential philantropy!

Sigma Kappa- My ladies! Obviously, I'm going to say I love everything, but I do! The lavender and maroon, the violets, the dove, our badges, my sisters! I love being a Sigma Kappa!

Sigma Sigma Sigma- More violets and pearls! Definately a sorority close to my heart!

Theta Phi Alpha - Their mascot is a penguin!!

Zeta Tau Alpha- One of my best friends is a ZTA, and it always impresses me how much she puts in her sorority. The Zeta's I know are so dedicated!

Of course I'm going to rave about Sigma Kappa, but it was really awesome learning about the other NPC sorority. No matter the letter, we're all greek together!

[WaterChild]

AlwaysSAI and AOII LB, you left out KD!

[AlwaysSAI]

let me go back and fix it. SORRY!

[agzg]

I’m bumping this thread because I like it, and it seems like a nice way to spend an afternoon...

Alpha Chi Omega – I like the music thing – the Symphony of Alpha Chi Omega, the lyre, cool stuff.

Alpha Delta Pi – I like the sentiment where the website says it’s the “mother of today’s sorority system,” not mother as in “mother of all sororities” but mother as in nurturing, the mama bear if you will.

Alpha Epsilon Phi – The Lily of the Valley has to be one of my favorite flowers.

Alpha Gamma Delta – Easy one! I love it all, but my favorite part of Alpha Gam is definitely the purpose – “To cherish friendships with but a chosen few...” – still gives me goosebumps.

Alpha Omicron Pi – I love the ruby!

Alpha Phi – Wut wut Syracuse Triad! Every Alpha Phi I’ve met has been super nice, and I love the attention they call to the red dress program raising awareness about heart disease in women!

Alpha Sigma Alpha – The ASAs on my campus are home to a couple of great friends – I’ve always loved their creed.

Alpha Sigma Tau – I love the anchor, and we share the pearl – plus one of my best friends is an AST.

Alpha Xi Delta – I really really like their vision statement – “Inspiring woman to realize their potential.”

Chi Omega – My cousin is a Chi O – I like their mascot, the owl.

Delta Delta Delta – Their open motto really hits at the heart of Greek Life (IMO) – “Let us steadfastly love one another.” “Steadfast love” was my mom’s favorite saying. She wasn’t a Tri Delt, but maybe she should have been!

Delta Gamma – I love “Do Good.”

Delta Phi Epsilon – I think my favorite part is that the mascot is the Unicorn, a mythical creature which is unique IMO.

Delta Zeta - I like the “surfing sisters” program for women who don’t have an alumnae chapter – it’s neat that they can still connect!

Gamma Phi Beta – Syracuse Triad! I love the colors, and the crescent is sweet.

Kappa Alpha Theta – The kite-shaped badge is beautiful.

Kappa Delta – I love white roses.

Kappa Kappa Gamma – I’m a huge fan of the fleur de lis.

Phi Mu – I like their open motto “Les Soeurs Fideles.”

Phi Sigma Sigma – I love the sapphire.

Pi Beta Phi - The arrow badge is beautiful.

Sigma Delta Tau – I’m a huge fan of their philanthropy, Prevent Child Abuse America.

Sigma Kappa – We share the pearl thing, again, and I love that their flower is a wildflower.

Sigma Sigma Sigma – “Ever forward” – I’ve always loved that!

Theta Phi Alpha – The sentiment behind the compass (at least the open sentiment) is beautiful.

Zeta Tau Alpha – I like the five-pointed crown and I love how the five points hold special significance for initiated members!
