Looking at U of Arkansas

[bekah.dickson]

Hey guys! My name is Bekah and I am a senior in high school right now. I'm considering going to Arkansas next fall (it's actually my first choice tied with UT) however, I don't know anyone that goes to Arkansas that can fill me in on it's greek life! I'm very familiar with most of the sororities; my mom, sister, almost all of my aunts, and all my closest older friends are or have been in a sorority but i want to know how big of a deal it is at u of a. I'm not exactly sure what i'm looking for, but I guess just personal stories of how your sorority has influenced you.

I cannot wait to go greek next year, no matter what school i end up at!

Greek life is huge at U of A. The sororities there are some of the largest chapters in the nation. It is also extremely competitive, so recommendations and a great resume are essential. The sororities on campus are:

Alpha Delta Pi
Alpha Omicron Pi
Chi Omega
Delta Delta Delta
Kappa Delta
Kappa Kappa Gamma
Pi Beta Phi
Zeta Tau Alpha

Hi Bekah - That is great news that you are looking at The University of Arkansas! In addition to what irishpipes said, I am going to guess that you are from Texas (since UT is your other choice). I wanted to let you know that there are TONS of students from Texas at Arkansas. Many of them pledge sororities, so I wanted to let you know that you will have many Texas counterparts with you up in Fayetteville and in Greek Life. I would also say that you should take a campus visit up to Fayetteville. October-November is just beautiful up in Northwest Arkansas. Even if you don't end up there, seeing the fall leaves is worth the trip!

I could go on forever about how my sorority has influenced me The women in my chapter (and some in the national organization) are some of my closest friends who continue to guide me to this day - almost 10 years since I left college.

Good luck as you get ready for college!

Haha yes, I am from Texas! And I visited the campus this summer and LOVED it. Of course, the first thing my mom and I did was drive around looking at all the sorority and frat houses :P and then had our tour the next day haha. Thank you guys for replying! I'm just trying to get a feel for the university and especially since I already know I want to go greek.
