Phi Sig SISTERHOOD:
The picture is of my six beautiful, strong, and all-around amazing sisters and me, and the three things I hold dearest to me: my letters. Before I met these women, I was lost and scared. I didn’t know where I was going, and I didn’t know how in the world I was going to get there.
Then I became a part of a sisterhood that would change more than just my t-shirt collection, it would change my life.
I’m not saying Phi Sigma Sigma made my life perfect. I’m not even sure I’d want a perfect life. I’m saying that Phi Sigma Sigma gave me the confidence to stop being who I thought everyone wanted me to be, and to be who I wanted to be. Phi Sig gave me a group of women who’ve stood beside me through thick and thin, through heartbreaks, hangovers, and hardships. Women like Christa, Kate, Grace, my more-than-twin twin Honah, my amazing big Annie, my gorgeous and oh-so talented little bug Emily, and so many others.
I may not have everything figured out yet, but I have faith in my letters and in my sisters. Faith that no matter what path I choose to take, there will always be a sister there to support my insanity.
Thank you, Phi Sigma Sigma (Epsilon Delta).

sorority life:
To the average freshman, a sorority girl has many stereotypes. I knew nothing about Greek life besides what I’d seen in teen comedies. As a business of music major, I’d never really felt more accepted than in a giant crowd of people singing along to a band I thought nobody besides me really listened to & loved.
However, I’ve found that same form of acceptance in the Pi Phi house. The sisters don’t try to make me fit a certain mold, and I think that’s what makes Pi Phi so unique - it’s a beautiful blend of lovely young women who are free to be themselves instead of forced into a set of ideals. This photo really captures my essence: concert festivals [Bamboozle 2012, my fifth one!], Syracuse gear, and aiming my Pi Phi arrow high. PPLAM <3

what an interesting situation! and how exciting to be at the origins of a group which will hopefully last for a very long time. one day your sorority may be celebrating 161 years like ADPi is today.
source for more ideas: browse the sorority web sites and pick up more ideas from the sisterhood events you see there. looking at photos and reading about what the chapters do, will give you more ideas for your own group. be creative and have fun! xoxo ;)

i’m so glad you wrote in! you are the perfect age to start thinking about what you want to do in college. greek life can be very rewarding, but it’s also challenging. please search my blog for other posts on recruitment by going to: http://www.sororitysugar.tumblr.com/tagged/sorority-101. there you will be able to read many helpful posts on rush. here are some tips to get you started……
preparing for rush WHILE IN HIGH SCHOOL (what sororities are looking for in you):
what to LOOK FOR IN A SORORITY:
You will be 100% fine ~ thousands of girls go through it each year! Just go with the flow, be upbeat and don’t let the inevitable “not asked back” rejections get you down. in the end every girl says yes to just one house. one invite to join is all you need to start your 4 years of college greek life. MUCH LUCK!! <3 xoxo

after months & months & months of posting sugar for college sororities, i have gotten to know each of the 26 NPC chapters pretty well. i have a favorite “little sugar” that i love for each one. here’s my list of fun favorites!

the first thing is to change your chapter’s thinking from QUANTITY - to - QUALITY! i don’t know the rules for all chapters on all campuses, but your quota numbers are set too high, if this is happening. your sorority leadership on the local or national level needs to address this ASAP and make your numbers attainable with a reasonable amount of recruitment. the leaders need to reduce this pressure cooker situation so everyone can relax, take a breath and reevaluate their priorities.
like with fundraising, you can’t keep asking people for money all the time ~ or you wear out your welcome. membership is the same way. if you are always frantically dragging in members, there comes a point where there is diminishing returns. either girls won’t want to join your stressed out group, or the ones who do join are only half-heartedly in it. out of control recruitment hurts moral and hurts the chapter as a whole. it’s better to have a small but happy sorority, than a larger chapter that is all about the numbers and not a cohesive group.
i am not a fan of continuous/open recruitment, even though it works for some groups. the down side is, a chapter can turn into a “corporate sales team”, instead of a sorority. i think there is a time for rush, a time for fundraising, a time for sisterhood, a time for socializing, etc… BALANCE is needed in your chapter.
so… first i would tackle your mal-adjusted quota and stop the craziness. then clean house, start fresh with a calm “back to basics” plan to evaluate girls on their merits & picking only quality girls who really want to be there. maybe your chapter will always be smaller and not the mega sorority on the block - but it’s worth it to have a peaceful, unified organization. XOXO ;)
Q: I need to start planning my chapter’s fall Senior Date Function and gift. Do you have any ideas for themes and gifts? ~ madimorton
A: I have a few ideas… and you can find LOTS more social themes by searching www.sororitysugar.tumblr.com/tagged/party (or social)
HAPPY PLANNING!!
