The discourse community I have chosen is within my sorority, Delta Delta Delta (Tri Delta). There are many stereotypes associated with Tri Delta, and that is the most irritating thing about being in a sorority. Anyone from my high school would insist that I am not a sorority girl if someone were to ask them. When I started my fall semester, I was not expecting to rush because once again again, I am not the “sorority type”. Greek life at Boise State is unlike any other campus. Some may think that
As I walked into the glittery ballroom once again, trying my hardest to remove the white cat hair from my black sweater, I noticed that almost everyone had heels on and ignored the Panhellenic letter that suggested we wear “church attire.” I was already nervous about having to wear an overly conservative dress that didn`t match my style for the second day of sorority recruitment, so seeing that everybody else looked like runway models only added to my nausea. However, when I looked around the room
Never in a million years would I have thought that I would be in a sorority. I have always had this image of what a sorority girl was in my head. They were the pretty, stuck up, and rude girls. I didn’t want to be involved with drama and hold girl’s hands in pictures. I just wasn’t that girl. My best friend joined a sorority and she changed but not for the better. She became one of those girls who only thought about herself and her appearance. I wanted to focus on school and making friends, not partying
What do you think the role of a pi chi is? The role of a pi chi begins with a good foundation, which is developing the knowledge and appreciation of all the Panhellenic sororities on UTC’s campus. Being past Membership Education for my sorority, I understand how important it is to learn the specific details of the organization in order to fully appreciate it. Additonally, it is important for pi chis to develop a relationship with PNMs so they feel comfortable enough to have whole hearted conversations

Potato or Penis: You Decide On September twenty-third, 2015, approximately three hundred and thirty three thousand sorority girls are predicted to flock to the University of Tennessee campus. To make room for this incredibly large volume of over-privileged girls, the campus administration is forcing all of the students with last names ending with all the letters from B to Y to vacate their rooms. Every corner of campus is coming together to ensure that their stay is worthy of a monogramed shirt

Members of Omega Sigma, Houston Community College’s chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, hosted their first general meeting of the fall semester on Sept 4 at the West Loop campus. These Kappians had some supurb advice for new students at HCC. "When you get into HCC, you're going to think, ‘Hey, it's just a community college'. You just go to your class — that's all — and then get out. No! It's not. You have got to participate. You got to go to organizations, you go to clubs. There are so
