SHIM is also not a fraternity, nor a sorority, but both.

fsu

according to the fsu panhellenic spring statistics, a d pi is the largest chapter with zeta tau alpha 2nd largest, and tri delta third largest, followed in order by chi omega, kappa delta, delta zeta, pi beta phi,phi mu, delta gamma, gamma phi beta, alpha chi omega, kappa kappa gamma and alpha gamma delta. these are spring statistics so the colony of sigma delta tau had not been founded yet. fall statistics have not been posted, but rush statistics have been posted in the recruitment forum here on greek chat. i would imagine that the size rank of the chapters has not changed.

You know, I wrote to inquire about alumnae initiation with SKEPi, and I never heard back! My hotness must be too intimidating for them. I DEMAND A RECOMMENDATION TO GET IN!

You might want to try TPAN. They're like the crappy wannabes of SHIM. You don't even need to find a sponsor!

I didn't post my school...sorry. I go to Mizzou, so I am sure you know how our Beta chapter is here.

Don't worry about it, Carolina DG.

About SKEPi, when you have a lot of time and need some entertainment, check out these threads,which include posts from, and usually were started by, one particular poster who wanted to found a local sorority sort of kind of thing, strikingly similar to Sigma Kappa but, of course, not modeled on Sigma Kappa at all:

http://forums.greekchat.com/gcforums...der=descending

As for SHIM, let's just say it is for people for whom the pronouns "she" and "him" might be equally appropriate.

Lol, no need to feel stupid. Briefly, there was a chick on here who was posting about how she wanted to start a sorority called Sigma Kappa, w/ their colors and history and stuff. So then everyone told her she couldn't b/c that's just wrong. So then she was like, "Well, I'll make it Sigma Kappa Epsilon" then in another thread was like "I'm starting a sorority called Sigma Kappa Epsilon Pi" but was still going to use their colors and history, motto, etc. It was this HUGE ordeal. What was her name - cristinasmiles or something? I'll have to do a search for the thread. It was really strange and very frustrating. If you do a search for SKEPi it might come up.

I can't remember how SHIM came about. Basically, it's a play on the letters - "SHIM" like a she-man.

ETA: Oh, looks like MysticCat beat me to it.

Here's the original thread.

Here she is again, a year later.

Did she participate in Dance Marathon while she was forming a sorority?

You guys, I promise that someday I'll stop with the Dance Marathon comments...as soon as I find the sorority that lets you be your own sponsor for alumnae initiation.

These are in no particular order.

Sororities:
1) ZTA
2) AZD
3) KD or ADPi or TriDelta

Fraternities:
1) Sig Ep
2) LXA
3) Pi Kapp or Kappa Sig or Sigma Chi or DU
I am pretty sure it was said during recruitment that AZD is the Largest. As for the others i dont know.
