If u were the other gender....

[non-greek newby]

Probably Beta Kappa Psi or Phi Kappa Psi

[RACooper]

Pretty easy... Gamma Phi Beta - always got along with the girls as friends (and still do after undergrad)... which is why I directed my sister their way

[TNPhiMu]

Why, SigEp of course... there's that whole, my brother's one, and my fiance is one thing...

Since both my best friend in high school and then college as well as my boyfriend (his roommate) became TKEs (and convinced me to go to sorority recruitment and highly recommended Alpha Gam), and my dad is a TKE, I could have seen myself being a TKE. I could also see going Lambda Chi because I worked with a bunch of them and we had a blast together washing pots and pans in the Dining Commons. I ended up marrying one of those Lambda Chis from the Dining Commons and, although we divorced quickly, I loved his brothers a lot.

I'm not telling what he told me about Magic Carpet Ride, but it was probably more than he should have... He told me a lot of things about Initiation that were so outrageous that I know now, in my older age, that it couldn't possibly have been true.

that's simple for me -- Chi Omega

at my school they are a smaller chapter, but they remain one of the best women's organizations on my campus in my opinion (we have a lot of prestigious non greek women's orgs that i would def rate higher than alot of the GLO's here).

chi-o is a pretty classy here. they are all very, very down to earth and nice. i've never met a snobby chi-o from our chapter. they are very dependable to team up with on philanthropies etc. they're the 'good girls'/non-slutty ones, but boy, when they go out, or party they are the shiz -- the gorgeous girls next door, lol.

to me, they tend to attract the more natural beauties -- like chicks that don't need a lot of make up and they are still hot. they have a couple of the fake blonde, really tan, lots of make up kinda girls, but its rare.

also, i have yet to meet one that is dumb as dirt . . . which i can't say for some of the tri delts at my school (tri delts are the most popular)

yeah, most people would put chi-o in the top tier behind tridelt but i'm a chi-o fan all the way.

So far two posters have indicated who they would NOT want to be....when the point of this thread is who you WOULD want to be. There is no reason that comments have to be made about those organizations that you dislike. Every chapter of every organization is different. While one group may be the favorite at one school it may not be so at another chapter. I understand that everyone has a right to their opinion, but there are members of every organization that visit these boards and to put down their organization simply becasue if you were the other gender you wouldn't join them is unfair. I would venture to say that the members of those organiztions that have been mentioned as those the other sex would want to join are flattered - and rightly so.

I am not posting simply because the one poster said he would not want to be a part of my organization...I am posting because each and every organization has incredible members, creeds, social events, and philanthropies that make campus life and greek life all the more richer for them being in it.

I am not trying to cause a disruption, fight, anything negative with this post as there seems to be enough of that going on. I just would like us all to be more aware of the words we choose to use. I do not think anyone would like their organization to be singled out negatively. Remember, the commitment and dedication you have to your group is the same for the members of the organization you are putting down.

As for my own answer to the question, my undergrad school has only one other national group at this time. Therefore, I cannot say what I would choose to be based on this. I feel I would be able to make a better choice on a larger campus with the chance to interact with the numerous other groups where I would be able to learn more about their organizations.


Just my thoughts...

[Betarulz!]

Probably an Alpha Phi or a Chi Omega. I think I would have a better chance of getting into Chi O, because I'm not really how sure how hot of a girl I would be. If I was really hot, then APhi all the way. (that's not a dig on Chi O at all, there are alot of beautiful girls in Chi O, it's just that there are far more in Alpha Phi...)

[LuvUTrulyKKG]

I think I would be a Pi Kappa Phi... they are some of my favorite guys on campus!

[BetteDavisEyes]

Again, I must step up & defend another GLO. I love the Tri-Delts on our campus. They are NOT "dumb as dirt." They do great work on our campus as I'm sure they do all around. The point of this thread is to point out who you would want to be if you were the other gender and NOT who you don't like. Stick to the topic.

Phi Tau or Theta Chi for me. I love those guys.

[blueGBI]

Probably TKE or DU. I'd rush Sig Ep just for Arya though.

[PhiPsiRuss]

Years ago, if Tri-Delta had been allowed to build that swimming pool, they would have been the hands down choice (that's for you Cara.)

I had more friends in Theta, so that's probably where I really would have gone. Tri-Delta or DG would also have been contenders.

[Xylochick216]

Probably Lambda Chi or Pi Kapp (even though I love the Sigma Chis on campus )

[Sister Havana]

Interesting question!

I'd be a Tau Delta Phi legacy, but there is no chapter of that at IU. So I'd probably say AEPi, ZBT, or Sammy.

[Tippiechick]

This one's easy for me: Sig Ep. One of my best friends is a Sig Ep. And, his brothers have always been awesome guys.

[PhoenixAzul]

I'd probably be a Phi Kappa Tau...if I was a guy, I'd be a double legacy (brother and grandfather).

if I chose from the organizations on my campus (all locals) I'd want to be a Kingsman (Lambda Gamma Epsilon). Those guys are amazingly nice, "real" people, and I'd venture to say that they are the most diverse chapter on campus. You can see that they are about their brotherhood at all costs.
