NPC Sorority Challenge

[ASAlamb]

I really enjoyed reading these so I felt obligated to do one of my own!

Alpha Chi Omega - I love that their philanthropy is domestic violence prevention! I think sororities in general should try to get more involved in womens issues.

Alpha Delta Pi - I love love love their flower, its gorgeous. Also, an ADPi chapter on my old campus was struggling but they still had a very strong sisterhood in spite of numbers and social perception. That's admirable.

Alpha Epsilon Phi - I love the open motto "Multa corda, una causa" and the giraffe!

Alpha Gamma Delta - I've known a few very sweet AGDs! I like how specific their flowers are ("A red and buff rose with green asparagus plumosa fern") and that we have a shared jewel!

Alpha Omicron Pi - Love the ruby!

Alpha Phi - Alpha Phi is amazing to me because it linked one of my best friends from grade school, whom I had lost contact with, with one of my best friends from high school. They joined the same chapter! I just think that's the coolest thing. I also like the use of ivy.

Alpha Sigma Alpha - I could go on forever with everything I love about this sorority! I love how sweet everyone at nationals is, how much symbolism and meaning we carry, our history, and especially my sisters.

Alpha Sigma Tau - I think their colors are cute and love the association with Habitat for Humanity.

Alpha Xi Delta - I really like their unique pin.

Chi Omega - I love their strong southern tradition. I like that they have a site just for new members!

Delta Delta Delta - I love how easily recognizable the tri-delt name is almost anywhere in this country. I like the pin but it kind of scares me.... to people accidentally poke themselves all the time??

Delta Gamma - A good friend of mine is a DG on another campus, and she really seems to love her sisters and her organization!! I really like the aesthetics of their letters too.

Delta Phi Epsilon - I love purple irises. Pretty much anything purple is awesome.

Delta Zeta - I like that their website has a "visual standards" section with all their logos and everything easily accessible. Nothing is worse than when your letters or logos are butchered by some tshirt or graphic designer.

Gamma Phi Beta - I've always liked GPhiB. Girls are great, I love the pink and brown, and I think their letters just flow together well.

Kappa Alpha Theta - I love that they are easily recognizable as just "Theta". I think that's indicative of a strong history and national presence.

Kappa Delta - Cool crest! Also on my old campus they were a really strong chapter and sweet girls as well. Farmville love!!!!!!!

Kappa Kappa Gamma - Love their badge and their flower, both are gorgeous.

Phi Mu - All the pink is cute...

Phi Sigma Sigma - I like that their website has some of their key policies prominently featured.

Pi Beta Phi - I've never met a Pi Phi I didn't love!! They all have a great committment to their sisterhood as well as their philanthropy. They all seem to value lifelong membership as well.

Sigma Delta Tau - They were founded very close to my birthday!! I love Women for Women as well.

Sigma Kappa - My aunt and a good friend from college are Sigma Kappas!! I really like their new member pin, very unique.

Sigma Sigma Sigma - I love that their website has an interactive timeline!! And Farmville love!!

Theta Phi Alpha - I really like that they have specific badges for certain offices, and the white rose.

Zeta Tau Alpha - Farmville love!! I work with a ZTA alum and she has so many great stories about her collegiate and alum years. I like that their website has music!

Yes. Hahaha. Well not ALL the time. But its not as sharp as it looks and the majority of the pictures dont show the stopper that comes with it.

[ColdInCanada11]

Alpha Chi Omega - Their symphony is similar to our Purpose, beautiful!
Alpha Delta Pi - If I wasn't an Alpha Gam, I probably would have gone Pi. Great girls on my campus! Ronald McDonald House is a great charity
Alpha Epsilon Phi - Green's my favourite colour and we share the pearl!
Alpha Gamma Delta - I'm an Alpha Gam through and through, I love my Alpha Gam chums! Everything about us means that world to me!!
Alpha Omicron Pi - I think it's awesome that each chapter picks it's sub-motto/letters!
Alpha Phi - Syracuse triad!
Alpha Sigma Alpha - Again, their Creed is close to the Purpose, I love it!
Alpha Sigma Tau - I think it's great that their foundation sets specific philanthropic goals
Alpha Xi Delta - Fantastic motto: The pen is mightier than the sword
Chi Omega - Before GC, I had never heard of Chi Omega in my life, but I think it's awesome that their alumnae network is that huge
Delta Delta Delta - There is a song about their pin stabbing "too-friendly" men. One of the greatest things I've ever heard
Delta Gamma - They have their own rose, that's fantastic
Delta Phi Epsilon - A UNICORN. Where's the bad????
Delta Zeta - I love turtles, it's a great animal. And a great philanthropy to have!
Gamma Phi Beta - Triad love! I also love how constant their badge has been over time, and the fact that Tiffany's voted it the most beautiful.
Kappa Alpha Theta - I like that scholarship is also extremely important to them
Kappa Delta - Emerald is my favourite jewel, so that's great!
Kappa Kappa Gamma - I love that their coat-of-arms has so many elements, including Athena.
Phi Mu - "Sir Fidel" An awesome name for an awesome lion.
Phi Sigma Sigma - Egyptian symbol- very interesting!
Pi Beta Phi - I love their new member pin!
Sigma Delta Tau - I love the combination of their colours!
Sigma Kappa - I like that their philanthropy works with the environment
Sigma Sigma Sigma - "Faithful until death" I love their motto

Yes! It is one of my favorite songs too! It is called My Trusty Trident!

MY TRUSTY TRIDENT
(Tune: My Darling Clementine)
On a dark night in a parked car sat a sweet and lovely miss
With a fella, what a fella, wanted more than just a kiss
As he grabbed her 'round the middle his intentions were quite plain
As he touched her he enclutched her then he shouted out in pain.
He said "You stabbed me!" She said "You grabbed me! Don't you know you'll never win.
For every Tri Delt, every Tri Delt has a weapon for a pin."
My Trusty Trident, my trusty trident is much safer than a gun.
Safe and silent, my trusty Trident, with it no man's ever won.

Just wondering, is that song sung a lot? I know if I was a DDD, I would sing it every chance I got!

That is one of the best songs I've ever heard in my entire life. If only our triangle points were sharper...

I should preface this to say that my school only had three women's fraternities: Kappa, Theta, and DG. Thus I don't know many women in the rest other than what I noted below, so my opinions are based on GC and general research. And I started this back in November! Finally finished today and getting this out there.

Alpha Chi Omega: I'm partial to the "object" badges, and the lyre makes a beautiful badge. It's a bit different from the other objects I think, and that makes it special. I suppose I interpret it as harmony, from the musical aspect. Many notes, building a beatiful sisterhood. Your brand "Real. Strong. Women." is striking and honest. I like it. Oh, and way to find a way to be first alphabetically among the NPC! I'm sure that was on at the top your founders' minds when selecting it

Alpha Delta Pi: First women's society to later become a GLO, deserving of the "First. Finest. Forever." tagline. And Alphie the lion is fierce but cute!

Alpha Epsilon Phi: The giraffe is such a cool and different mascot, and I like the meaning behind it- big heart, stands above the crowd. Such a great message and in of itself says a lot about the organization. Your badge is also the only NPC badge that has your letters side by side, rather than stacked or superimposed on another object.

Alpha Gamma Delta: First and foremost, squirrels are such a great mascot! I learned recently (thanks, GC!) that AGD's national philanthropy is dedicated to juvenile diabetes awareness and research. I thank you for taking this up; my husband was diagnosed with diabetes a few months ago so this really hits close to home. It doesn't always get as much attention as other major medical causes, but is quite scary to be diagnosed with and live with. And a final note, the only AGD I know IRL is one of my favorite former coworkers, who is a great representative for your org.

Alpha Omicron Pi: It's so unique that you only have one official color. When I first saw the sheaf of wheat as a symbol, my young collegiate mind didn't get it. But it has really grown on me and I think it's such a great symbol! Especially in considering the harvest, which in many cultures around the world is one of the most celebrated times of the year with the fruits of labor, bounty, etc. And I absolutely love your badge, there are seemingly infinite combinations which makes each one unique.

Alpha Phi: First, I love that you pronounce it "Fee" instead of "Fie". It sounds so nice together, especially because Phi comes at the end of your name. Also great about your Phi is that you have a regular and lazy Phi. And I didn't realize that you have a constellation! What a great way to get to a mascot, too (the bear).

Alpha Sigma Alpha: You have four private mottos and a four-fold objective, which is pretty darn cool. Not to mention four colors (two primary/two secondary), two jewels, and two flowers (one spring/one fall). I get the impression you don't do anything partway! I also love the ladybug as a symbol.

Alpha Sigma Tau: I really like your creed. I think it's cool that each type of badge is reserved for a specific purpose: plain and pearl for initiated members, ruby points for national staff members, emerald points for national council, and diamond points for national presidents.

Alpha Xi Delta: I love your new double blue badge option. And the different colony pin is really nice, especially since it's similar to the new member pin but has the added chain around it. And two bears, Al Fuzzie and BetXi Bear- so cute! Not to mention historical ties with Kappa.

Chi Omega: I think your letters look really bold and confident which apparently is what you were going for, because until researching for this thread I had no idea they were chosen by shuffling Greek letters on the floor! It's very cool that you have a website for new members- what a great idea! I spent way too long going through that site. And I recently figured out that my dog's name (Kaio) sounds like Chi-O. Took me 4 years to figure that one out, but I guarantee you I won't soon forget it!

Delta Delta Delta: I love Tri Delta's symbols. The moon/stars, the dolphin, the colors- all really beautiful, and even moreso because the symbols & ritual were all decided upon founding. And the Delta is such a maleable letter, in a good way- the new member pin is so cool looking even though it only has one (repeated) letter/shape.

Delta Gamma: Although DG was one of the three chapters at my school, I hadn't heard the term Do Good until GC. I think it's a great open motto (or tagline?) that is so simple yet means so much. The Anchor is a really distinctive badge, although until DG I didn't know it represented hope. Hope, Do Good- how can you go wrong?


Delta Phi Epsilon: You were started by law students, the only NPC founded at a professional school. Your motto is really striking: Esse Quam Videri - “to be rather than to seem to be”.

Delta Zeta: I love the Roman lamp as your badge, on a pillar with wings. So much symbolism wrapped up in one small badge! The pink & green go well together, and turtles are so cute as mascots!

Gamma Phi Beta: Way to coin the term "sorority". I mean, really, how many groups (Greek or otherwise) can take credit for creating a word that later becomes so mainstream most people don't know it wasn't always there? Way cool. And although I don't know the significance behind the "mode", I think the pink & brown are very complimentary. Oh- and the Badge Trends thread really highlighted how versatile your badge can be. I love both the antique chased badge in there as well as the two tone, just gorgeous.

Kappa Alpha Theta: Kite & Key, Theta & Kappa are often joined for social events and the like. Some of the most incredible women I know are Thetas, and they were initially my first choice going through recruitment. My personal impression based on Thetas I know is that Theta is a classy sorority with a touch of the girl-next-door mentality. And kudos to you for saying NO! to being a mascot and forming the first Greek letter fraternity for women.

Kappa Delta: Having limited exposure to KD, The Blind Side really showcased one of your members and the organization in a fantastic light. Go KD! Besides having fantastic GC KDs, I also like the symbolism on the website regarding "Making great things happen" and "Live GREAT". Oh! And apparently my state's governor is a KD. KD just screams leadership to me.

Kappa Kappa Gamma: Trying not to be overly biased… the key as a badge is beautiful and recognizable, and Kappa has somehow managed to be one of the most recognizable names. I don't know quite how they did it, but it's certainly a lesson for branding professionals everywhere. Not sure if that was intentional or just happened along the way.

Phi Mu: The quatrefoil is such an interesting shape, and you elevated it to another level with the overlapping hearts. Such a great symbol with subtly bold symbolism.

Phi Sigma Sigma: Founding as non-sectarian is fantastic. With the symbolism, I was fascinated with ancient Egypt throughout high school and it was one of the reasons I majored in anthropology. I'm sure Phi Sig's symbols would've weighed into my impressions had they been on my campus.

Pi Beta Phi: Go Monmouth duo! I wonder if Kappa's founding would have been different had IC Sorosis not paved the way for women's orgs at Monmouth. These particular Greek letters look really great together, and I think it's interesting that they're in a fairly different script on your badge than many other GLOs.

Sigma Delta Tau: I have heard some fantastic stories about how inclusive SDT is regarding religion, and how they will do what is necessary to accommodate their members in that respect. I also really like the torch as a symbol & badge- such great symbolism for lighting the path forward.

Sigma Kappa: Another former coworker, a woman who I truly respect and look up to, is a SK. She's the closest thing I've had to a mentor- SK gets major points in my book for recruiting her. I also like that SK's philanthropies are a little different, which means they can really benefit from an organization's support (gerontology & Alzheimer's, Inherit the Earth).

Sigma Sigma Sigma: I think it's really interesting that Sigma appears to primarily be in small-mid sized schools. I think it's great that expansion has had such a focused approach, and says something about the sisterhood you're building. The indented badge is also really interesting, and your new member pin is just plain cool.

Theta Phi Alpha: I'll admit this is the one I knew least about. I absolutely love the penguin mascot- how fun is that! I also think it makes a great statement that you identified the importance of alumnae support while you were founding the org, rather than later.

Zeta Tau Alpha: I think it's great that your nickname is both the first letter/word AND the initials of your organization. Not sure if that was done purposefully when the name was chosen, but I think it's awesome. I also love the Zeta colors of teal and silver. Very pretty. And every time I go into Hallmark I think of Zeta!

[TriDLove]

What a great idea!

Alpha Chi Omega - I absolutely love the music connection. the "first and last" idea is wonderful too.

Alpha Delta Pi - I love their charity. What a great cause.

Alpha Epsilon Phi - Giraffe mascot?! AMAZING!

Alpha Gamma Delta - I have a friend who is an AGD and her room is covered in squirrel everything, and I'm completely jealous.

Alpha Omicron Pi - I love that their coat of arms is a rose! It's so simple and elegant.

Alpha Phi - I'm biased... my best friend is an APhi. They have such a great philanthropy that makes a difference in so many lives. Love that they have the big dipper on their coat of arms too!

Alpha Sigma Alpha - I have a soft spot in my heart for anyone that supports the Special Olympics. Also, "Dot the Ladybug" mascot is precious.

Alpha Sigma Tau - I've actually never heard of this sorority, but after reading their story about how they were founded I have a lot of respect for these ladies!

Alpha Xi Delta - Beautiful coat of arms! I love that they support Autism Speaks and that Betsey Johnson was a sister!

Chi Omega - I think that their letters look great together. Also, an owl is such a cute mascot!

Delta Delta Delta - I'm VERY biased. I love everything.

Delta Gamma - The anchor/nautical theme is so cute. When I visited DG during recruitment I met so many great girls.

Delta Phi Epsilon - Unicorn mascot?! AWESOME!

Delta Zeta - Beautiful badges, great founders story.

Gamma Phi Beta - One of my closest friends is a GPhi and I love how their letters sound together! They flow so well. I love the moon symbol and their colors too.

Kappa Alpha Theta - The sorority I love the most after DDD. My Grandma and a bunch of my cousins are all Thetas! It's my absolute favorite sorority name - I think the letters sound great together and love the kite.

Kappa Delta - They have so many causes to support! White roses are beautiful as well.

Kappa Kappa Gamma - Another sorority very close to my heart. My 'second mom' is a Kappa and she was the person who influenced me to go through recruitment in the first place. I love their colors too!

Phi Mu - Such a cute name! The colors are adorable.

Phi Sigma Sigma - I think the Egyptian roots are incredible!

Pi Beta Phi - Great colors and I love the 'angel' motif. I had their songs stuck in my head for weeks after rush.

Sigma Delta Tau - Lapis lazuli?! Such a beautiful gem!

Sigma Kappa - Stupid reason: I love their symbols.

Sigma Sigma Sigma - If they had a chapter at my school, I would have been so interested! Purple is my favorite color and I love the Tri letters (obviously)! Plus, the sailboat is such a wonderful symbol and has such a deep meeting.

Theta Phi Alpha - The compass is a great symbol both for life and the sorority.

Zeta Tau Alpha - I'm also biased here. One of my best friends is a ZTA and I love so much about it! Great colors, and the crown is a lovely way to represent your sisters!

[SWTXBelle]

ColdinCanada - just to clarify your G Phi B point - While the badge was designed by Tiffany's, I don't believe they designated it "most beautiful" - I think that honour was bestowed by poll/survey.

And of course, we all know that the most beautiful badge is YOURS.

[ColdInCanada11]

Of course, I love my Alpha Gamma Delta badge more than any piece of jewellery I own! So meaningful . I like how similar they are

ETA: I read on wikipedia (though who knows if its true) that Tiffany's voted Gamma Phi Beta's badge the most beautiful. Being an Audrey fan, I appreciated it

[SWTXBelle]

I'll take it! Wikipedia rules!

[nittanygirl]

Bumping because I have always loved this thread & also because I thought it would be interesting from a new member period. I feel like right now it would be easy to get caught up in my own sorority (which I'm loving so much already!!) but one of my favorite ideas of sororities is Panhellenic spirit. I have always had an interest in learning about all of the sororities. GC has been a huge help in that.


Alpha Chi Omega: The lyre is so beautiful. I really like the AXO women at my school. I worked with one freshman year and she is one of the sweetest girls I have met at Penn State. I love the way the name sounds too. "Real Strong Women" I think that this is a "brand" as they call it. It is something I feel like we all strive for. I also found it interesting that they have a Patron Goddess, Hera, Goddess of women and marriage. Also one of the best national websites.

Alpha Delta Pi: My best friend from PSU is an ADPi new member. I am so happy for her and she really loves her ADPi sisters. I have always thought of ADPi as a strong organization. I also have a strong love for lions Also like the diamond hand sign & "We live for each other" - that's what friendship & sisterhood are all about.

Alpha Epsilon Phi: Going into this all I knew about AEPhi is green is a color & their mascot is a giraffe (how cool!). I love their open motto "Many hearts, one purpose" - it reminds me of the PSU Dance MaraTHON. I'd like to meet someone in this sorority, because it is one of the few NPCs that I have never met any members of

Alpha Gamma Delta: I have a great love for AGD. One of my very best friends from high school is an AGD for Gannon. It was a great decision for her to go through recruitment. It has really turned around her college experience. I am constantly on the lookout for red, buff & green, and squirrels! I love the rose they use in their logos/stationary things. I also love their vision, "Inspire the woman, Impact the world."

Alpha Omicron Pi: My favorite thing about this is that you don't have a crest/shield because those are not typically Greek. I think it is very cool to stick to the traditionally Greek heritage. I find the tradition of draping a piece of black ribbon over the badge in the event of a death of an Executive Board member, past National President or chapter member very nice. I like that there is a way to show mourning tied to the sorority. I also really love red.

Alpha Phi: A few years ago, I was surprised to learn that it was pronounced Alpha "Fee" and not Alpha "Fie." I think I read somewhere once that this is because of proper grammar (?) since Alpha ends in a vowel, you use the "ee" sound instead of "i" (similar to Alpha Xi Delta?) Ivy is very pretty, I love the new member badge.

Alpha Sigma Alpha: Again, I love red. Two girls in my "pride" (incoming freshman students group) went ASA. Some girls in my pride this summer (when I was a leader) also went ASA. I like the way the letters look together. Some ASAs from Penn State are pictured on the national website! So exciting! I also like "Aspire, seek, attain" motto

Alpha Sigma Tau: Two girls from high school are ASTs at different schools. LOVE anchors. I like that certain styles of badges are worn by people in different levels of the organization, for example, the ruby badge is worn by national staff members & the diamond badge is only worn by the National President/Past National Presidents.

Alpha Xi Delta: Love the gold & double blue color combo! I also like the way the jeweled badges look. Autism speaks is such a great philanthropy.

Chi Omega: I also love the way these letters look together. One of my favorites as far as letter combos go. Every time I see something owl related, I always thing of Chi O. Make-A-Wish is another philanthropy I feel a strong connection to. I also think of Chi Omega as a very strong national organization. I like the cardinal & straw color combo.

Delta Delta Delta: Another favorite letter "combo" I love how strong of an organization TriDelta is. I would love to see them return to Penn State in the future. Their badge is also one of my favorites!

Delta Gamma: DG is one of my favorites overall. I love the "Do Good" motto and can relate to the "Service for Sight" philanthropy. Every DG I've met at Penn State is fantastic. I really love the anchor, too. My friend who is a DG has an anchor necklace which I have always admired.

Delta Phi Epsilon: This is another chapter I have never met a member of! I really knew nothing about them until this except for the unicorn, & purple and that they have always struck me as being a very diverse group of women. The founding principals of "justice, sisterhood & love" are great and really fitting since they were founded at a law school!

Delta Zeta: Love pink & green. One of my best friends from HS joined "DeeZee" Turtles are cute too. They're colors & symbols are so girly! They also have a very well organized website.

Gamma Phi Beta: The ladies I know/met at PSU of Gamma Phi are so interesting! I like the crescent moon & that it has to be waxing crescent instead of waning (ASTRO 001 - actually learned something about moons!) I never knew that it stands for the growth of the sorority & it's individual members.

Kappa Alpha Theta: Theta is another organization that I view as being very strong. I like their letters & the "Think/Thought Theta" thing that has been circling through recruitment shirts. I am also VERY partial to black & gold (hometown semi-near Pittsburgh)

Kappa Delta: Love KD. I really like them at our school because they are so outgoing. I also love their close ties during founding to TriSigma The founders were roommates! KD was also supposed to be Sigma Sigma, I believe until TriSigma announced it's name, etc.

Kappa Kappa Gamma: Have always loved the key. When I think sorority woman, I think Kappa as a great example of this. It always reminds me of that sophisticated and polite lady. I only personally know one Kappa, but she is very very nice.

Phi Mu: A lot of Phi Mus at PSU are in a lot of my classes. I have learned the most about them through GC, but I really think they are a great organization. They seem very southern to me as a whole. I am a HUGE fan of the Beta Mu (PSU) chapters philanthropy efforts! They are one of the top fundraising chapters for the Children's Miracle Network. They hold a See-Saw-Thon during Blue & White weekend that I think is really cool.

Phi Sigma Sigma: One of my boyfriends close friends growing up is a Phi Sigma Sigma. I think the badge is so interesting with the sphinx.

Pi Beta Phi: I always liked Pi Phi. They seem like such classy ladies. I like the wine & blue color combo. I never knew that the angel was an unofficial symbol until today.

Sigma Delta Tau: I didn't know they were originally Sigma Delta Phi. I also didn't know that they were put together due to the subtle religious discrimination faced by the founding members. They yellow tea rose is a very pretty flower.

Sigma Kappa: I love the hearts flower thing in the logo. I never saw how much Tri Sigma & Sigma Kappa have in common, the Triangle magazine, the triangle badge, purple & violets until today. I really like the dove & heart symbolizing the love felt by members across the world.

Sigma Sigma Sigma: So far, I am loving my TriSigma experience. I love our sailboat symbol, sisters & so much more. I could go on & on already and I'm only a new member. I cannot wait for my love for my organization to grow even more when I get to experience initiation. I love our badge & cannot wait to order mine

Theta Phi Alpha: This is another organization that I didn't really know anything about, except the penguin, until now. I love white roses.

Zeta Tau Alpha: I love teal/turquoise. I also love how much pride the Zeta chapter at PSU puts into THON. They are always top contenders in raising the most money for THON. I love the crown & white violets as well. And of course their support of Breast Cancer Awareness & Prevention.

Our chapter never really sang old songs (much to my dismay), but I have heard of other chapters serenading their dates before a party with it. I introduced it to a few girls in my pledge class, and we would just randomly sing it every once in a while. Lol. It is definitely one of my favorite DDD songs.

[ASTalumna06]

As long as we're bumping threads for PNMs...

I thought I'd bump one of my favorites!

[DubaiSis]

I'm bumping this because I think it's awesome. There were some houses I knew very little about so I went researching and learned some very cool things. For the girls who won't pledge that one house on campus, I wish they'd see that every NPC sorority is great as a whole and has so much great history and future opportunity. I also love the huge ovaries the founding women had to take on this task in a time when 1-women didn't go to college and 2-women didn't even have the right to VOTE. I think it's also cool that we have so many astronauts among us! I thought Alpha Xi was the only one, but I'm glad to share that honor now that I know.

Alpha Chi Omega – love the music theme
Alpha Delta Pi – a longtime childhood friend was an ADPi, and when she had some bad family crap going on, they were really there for her.
Alpha Epsilon Phi- the giraffe is so unusual and fun.
Alpha Gamma Delta – love the bright colors
Alpha Omicron Pi – love the simplicity of red, and that you can’t attach anything to your badge.
Alpha Phi – on my campus A Phi was “the house with the winding stair.” Cool old house
Alpha Sigma Alpha – I like how their national struggled early on but was open to advice from an outsider and was able to overcome difficulties to become who they are today.
Alpha Sigma Tau – I didn’t know ANYTHING about AST, but went searching. I love that you have a bunch of special pins for special people, and that you are headquartered in Indy where so many great sororities and fraternities call home.
Alpha Xi Delta – I love our secrets, TFJ and LIBOS. I love our quill, and our gold and true double blue. And I love the uniqueness of our Xi. Here’s what I wish we would change: go back to Al Fuzzy for our mascot (so what if he’s a boy? He’s still awesome!), call ourselves Fuzzies everywhere, and I really loved Choose Children.
Chi Omega – my oldest sister is a Chi O and she and her sisters introduced me to the concept of sisterhood in Greek life.
Delta Delta Delta – they were our neighbors and had flaming Deltas outside the house on Pref night. I heard they were maxi pads (burn slower). I never learned if it was true or not, but loved the story. Plus, Delta Delta Delta can I help ya help ya help ya?
Delta Gamma – love the anchor, and the organization just seemed very elegant.
Delta Phi Epsilon – I’m all about living your authentic self, so “to be rather than to seem to be” is right up my alley
Delta Zeta – at my school their house looked like a castle. Easily the 2nd prettiest house (after mine of course!)
Gamma Phi Beta – Gamma Phis at my school were the IT girls and yet still didn’t have a rep for being bitchy. Quite a feat! Plus I’m intrigued by the Arab symbols and letters in their badge.
Kappa Alpha Theta – Thetas always seemed so sophisticated.
Kappa Delta – I’ve always associated them with Old South charm and grace.
Kappa Kappa Gamma – Love the key (I’m sure the simplicity of our quill is like the key not by accident), and the Kappas at my school seemed like they were ALWAYS having fun
Phi Mu – vibrant is such a positive word!
Phi Sigma Sigma – I like that they were the first nonsectarian sorority.
Pi Beta Phi – Pi Baaata Phi for you Pi Beta Phi for me. That song was soooo catchy.
Sigma Delta Tau – this was the first traditionally Jewish sorority I was aware of. I appreciated that they offered girls a place to call home at a time when those girls wouldn’t have been welcomed elsewhere.
Sigma Kappa – bound by a promise is a great motto
Sigma Sigma Sigma – I love the symmetry.
Theta Phi Alpha – as a traveler, I love the compass on your pledge pin
Zeta Tau Alpha – love the crown. We should all live our inner princess.
