Stacy's Got Greek

               The is a small, family owned business bases in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. They travel from school to school, all over Northeast and Southeast Pennsylvania selling sorority and fraternity shirts and various clothing items. Everything is hand made and there are a variety of great patterns. They also do group orders within the company.
               On April 23rd, 2014 Stacy's Got Greek had a Fashion Show after the trivia part of Greek Week sponsored by Kutztown University's United Greek Council. Two students were chosen from each chapter to be dressed up in items of Stacy's hand made designs. It was a success and she even donated a part of her profits that evening to the UGC's Philanthropy the Animal Rescue League of Berks County.

How do you choose the right sorority for you?

            It is half way through summer, which means for most sorority girls it is almost recruitment time! That means fun florals, bright colors, Greek lettered shirts, and lots and lots of sister time!
            Fall of 2011 I had no clue what the hell I was getting myself into when I walking into the Student Union Building planning to go through recruitment. I talked to so many girls and forgot most of their faces. I remember the second night I walked into a room and a girl walked right up to me and asked me "Brooke, how was your day today? I am so glad you came back out!" I was astonished! Why would this awesome, fun girl remember me? There were hundreds of us, and I even forgot their names but lucky they had name tags. Finding your sorority should be the girls that you leave an impression on and that they leave one on you. Don't get me wrong the day I chose what sorority I wanted to put first on my preference card was scary... It was like deciding if you liked a guy and he liked you back. Will Phi Sigma Sigma want me to be a sister of there amazing sorority? Not going to lie and say I wouldn't have been completely devastated if they decided to pick another girl over me but the next day at bid day I was beyond pleased to be holding a Phi Sig bid!
             When going through look for a group of girls you can connect with, sometimes all that glitters is not gold. Although there may be some cool sororities with fun colors, you have to find the best sorority for YOU. They are also trying to find the best potential sisters for them! My suggestions is try to find a connection with their philanthropy, an event, mission, creed, values, some of their sisterhood events, one of the sisters... there is so many different things potential new members can do to find their home away from home.
               One final piece of advice I would give a potential new member who is going through recruitment, is to research. Research about all of the sororities you are going through especially through their national website. Also, if your friend from another school said a Zeta Zeta Zeta sorority was horrible at hazing and they are always mean doesn't necessarily mean the one at your school will be the exact same way. Just like how every class in high school club is different, doesn't mean they all act the same way and all run their meetings the same. Talk to upper class men or different faculty on campus... they usually have a pretty good perspective but do not use Greek Rank. I personally think that it is very negative outlook on the Greek community and that it is also not very accurate... I mean at all.
              But go through recruitment & walk your own path... and if you don't like it you can create a new one, with it hopefully leading to the sorority of your choice!

Welcoming to the Blogging World

Hey everyone! 
        I figured I was going to start my own blog because I love to write and I have gotten great feedback on my contributing articles I have written for different blogs, like Little Problems. 

         I am going to be a senior in the Fall at Kutztown University of Pennsylvania. I am an Early Education major and a sister of Phi Sigma Sigma. I am Vice Archon of my chapter and Vice President of United Greek Council. I am one of those girls who is involved in everything, and rarely gets overwhelmed by it all. Being a busy person makes me make time for the important things in like... school, sorority and work... Did I mention sorority?
          Being a sister of Phi Sigma Sigma has taught me a lot throughout my college experience and I am dreading the day where I switch from sister to alumni. Just the thought of that HUGE switch makes me twitch. I am planning to blog about my college experience, sorority experience, and fears for the big bad world. Keep checking out my blog to see if I am going to sink or swim in the real world we call life!
