i'm in Phi Theta Kappa, the international honor society of two-year colleges. basically it's the community college version of Phi Beta Kappa I'm hoping to get into that once I start college. Our chapter is the Pi Iota chapter. I don't think the college I'm transferring to has very many fraternities or sororities. (There's only like 8000 people there.) They don't have a Kappa Kappa Psi chapter ( !) and it doesn't look like they have a Phi Beta Kappa chapter, either. Oh well.

My college has somewhere between 2,500-3,000 people there, and we have plenty of greek. I know there are twelve socials, then Phi Mu, SAI, theatre, psychology, business, etc.... various honor ones. Yeah, we have too much greek in my opinion. Our socials are not national though. I think the thought was that they would be under more control if they weren't national. Unfortunately, that's not the case. They only have to answer to the college really, and our college is WAY slack on the alcohol violations/hazing. Making things national makes them answer to a higher power. If anyone is even suspected of hazing in SAI, we would answer to nationals and get our chapter in trouble. Finally, the school did disband one of the worst sororities for a year and a half, but only one social out of twelve... They are trying to make stance, but it doesn't work. Sorry, sidelined by my dislike for my school's socials!!

^For Baylor any greek (be it panhellenic or service)- sponsered event off campus for rushees without a spoonser present is considered hazing. So technically TBS can't take us even to Taco Bell. It's kind of ridiculous.
Anywho an addendum to my previous comment of not sure what I'm doing. After some prompting I think I'll go for Tau Beta Sigma. They're all really cool and since I'm already throwing myself into band stuff I might as well do it through TBS.

I'm a sister in one of JMU's unofficial sororities, STI (Sigma Tau Iota, the name which is incidentally taken by another group, I believe) also known as FLOC (or For the Love of Colorguard). Its pretty much "colorguard club" except it is run like a sorority, complete with rush week, getting bids, ect. I joined last semester, so I'm a full sister now.

I am pledging Sigma Alpha Iota this semester. I am also a part of the baritubas fraternity, TKD. I can't really tell you what it really means, but ... I guess you could eventually figure it out if I told you what happened on that night. It's obviously not an official one, just a fun one but I have a set of letters for it

I'm gonna be a Chi Omega girl. It's quite exciting, and very weird. A lot of people from back home... ha, I can see their faces. "You're in what?" I enjoy it. Anyways, I should also be part of Phi Eta Sigma, the freshmen honor fraternity, either by the end of this year or next semester. We don't have a KKP or TBS... we were kind of thinking of starting one, but no one really wants to head it up, especially since the students who really want it are freshmen.

Do you all have to carry around a (fake) rose and get all of the sisters' signatures in a red book? I still have my red book somewhere.
If someone asked what the rose was for, you had to recite this:
"I am a pledge of Sigma Alpha Iota, an academic fraternity for women in music. The rose is the fairest flower blooming, velvet petals loving and caressing, just the rose for SAI. The rose is the fairest flower blooming, and I shall wear it 'til I die..."
