Ok I have a few, and for all varying reasons/to different degrees.

Delta Gamma: My best friend-since-we-were-born's mom was a DG at my parents' alma mater and she is AWESOME. Growing up our families were really close, and I really admire her. I also love their open motto, Do Good, love the badge, love the anchor symbolism and that each house has one outside. Also, I feel like they were a very prominent organization in the area I grew up and I hear about them a lot; I can't remember a time in my life when I didn't know what DG was.

AOII: My mom is an AOII and I love hearing her stories, learning about sorority life, and just growing up with it. I have her old jersey that I used to wear as a PJ shirt. I know it's a little on the superficial side, but I also think it's cool that they don't have a crest/coat of arms because they are staying true to the Greek tradition; same thing with the strictness about what forms their letters can be in/on what things (my mom talks about this). I also cannot remember a time when I didn't know what AOII was. Funny, I thought I would end up at my parents' and childhood BFF's mom's alma mater and be in one of their chapters It didn't work out that way, but then I would never have found Alpha Phi!

Delta Delta Delta: I preffed here, so I feel a connection to it. I also love the motto, "Let us steadfastly love one another." That really gives me chills. My close family friend also just became a new member here and I couldn't be more thrilled for her!

Alpha Delta Pi: I don't know as much about this org as the others I have listed, but I think the Ronald McDonald House is a beautiful cause. I also think the history as the Adelphean Society is cool. Also, their motto is seriously my favorite (next to Union hand in hand ), "We live for each other." Honestly, every time I read or hear that, it nearly brings tears to my eyes. It has a poetic, emotional profundity to it that just gets me.

I really like this thread. I think it is very Panhellenic

As a Georgia woman, I would probably have to say if I had joined a sorority besides my own, it would be Alpha Delta Pi or Phi Mu.
Tri Delta is also an amazing group- I love their philanthropy and colors, and all things ocean-y.

**Bump!**

I just came across this thread and thought it was fun!

Kappa Kappa Gamma - I loved them in recruitment, I think their house on my campus is gorgeous and I thought it was cool to hear that AXiD almost merged when them before we went national. Oh and I love their badge (I really love badges that are the shape of something!)

Delta Delta Delta - I love my Quill more than anything, but if I had to pick a second favorite, I think their badge is BAD ASS! I'm not sure if it's just an optional guard or something, but when they have the trident sticking through the back, I think it looks SO cool! Plus, of all sororities, I associate them most strongly to their philanthropy, if that makes sense. It just seems like they do so much with St. Jude's, which I find to be impressive.

And for more flat out superficial reasons:

Delta Gamma
- My third favorite badge! So pretty! And I love their hand sign (even though it's more of a hand/arm sign)

Kappa Alpha Theta - Love the black and gold! And I think the nickname "Theta" is cool too. Oh, and there was something I liked about them in recruitment: Instead of a crazy loud chant in the first round, everything was calm and quiet, and at the end they sang this very pretty little song. I don't know the name but it was like "Theta Kite". I dunno, I thought it was so cute!

Wow what an interesting thread!

Hmmm...here are my choices.

ZTA- When I was freshman they were colonizing and I made friends with one of them in my oceanography class. Such a sweet girl!! I also rushed them in Spring 2006 before I went through Fall recruitment. I could only attend one of their open houses out of 3 so that might have been my downfall. LOVE the strawberry story and the fact that the crown HAS to have 5 pts!

KD-Such sweet and smart girls on my campus! They were my absolute fave up until Pref Day..I felt so comfy there. I really like that they have so many philanthropies and there crest is so beautiful!! I think that their letters just flow ya know? OH and because when I was a Pi Chi my twin aka partner was a KD and she was AMAZING!

DG-I've always been a fan of anything nautical. Cute colors. VERY catchy songs.The chapter at my school had one of their sisters pass away nearly 2 yrs ago and I just remember how classy the girls were and how the entire Greek community was there for them. Very sweet and outgoing ladies! PLUS the interior of their house was my fave out of all the houses lol.

Honorable mention: SDT- I preffed this house and got along with them great. There philanthropy event is the most popular on my campus. My roommate is one as well!

Because of their badges and colors: DDD, KKG, Pi Phi, DZ

I would have to say AXiD, because my sister is one, and she is 2 years older than me. I love how she grew when she joined. And I am always welcome on her campus as a little sis. Also, they do have a great alum network, and I always loved her badge. Plus, their motto "the pen is mightier than the sword" is part of my life even with out me being a legacy to Alpha Xi Delta.

Probably Chi Omega because my boyfriend's (now husband) mother (who passed away when he was 4) was one, and I would want to try to continue that tradition since her four daughters didn't go Greek. I also think there's a good chance if I had gone through formal recruitment, I would have joined them.

Such a hard question!


I think I still would have Kappa Alpha Theta on the top of my list!

But others would probably be:

Kappa Kappa Gamma
Delta Delta Delta
Chi Omega
Kappa Delta

I like their colors, symbols, and philanthropies. I cant remember any I've met to this point I havent liked and/or admired.

Even being only 2 years removed from age 18...I have to say I'd have picked:

Kappa Kappa Gamma: They have such an extensive alumni network and every Kappa I know is what I envision a sorority woman to be. Gorgeous and classy women, and the Golden Key is the same

Phi Mu: Love their colors, loved the chapter during recruitment, and I have to keep it in the Macon Magnolia family!

Kappa Alpha Theta: Their song is still stuck in my head (I'm a Theta, she's a Theta, wouldn't you like to be a Theta?) and they're also an extremely classy and intelligent chapter

Zeta Tau Alpha: Their philanthropy is huge at my university, and I love their dedication to the breast cancer cause. It really holds personal value to me.

If I had to go on purely superficial reasons: Tri Delta or DZ

BUT I love love love my ADPi :]

Kappa - I think the fleur de lis and the blue/blue are super pretty, and it seems like I always see Kappas in letters, which I just love. I also like the single-letter nickname!
Theta - I love that their pansy matches their colors. And again, the single-letter nickname.
Tri Delta - Their pin is really pretty, and it would have been neat to be my older cousin's sister. Oh, and the line from A Southern Belle's Primer... "Delta Delta Delta, can we help ya, help ya, help ya?" Awesome.
AOII - Another cousin is one (we went through recruitment the same year, though), and I think it's neat how they write their pi - II.
DG and AST - I like anchors a lot, and both groups have really nice mottos which correspond to their letters.
