Can you tell who is in a sorority?
What have the stereotypes told you?
Sorority: A chiefly social organization of women students at a
college or university, usually designated by Greek
letters. (www.thefreedictionary.com)
Sorority row, a street in
which contains the houses
of sorority organizations,
shown here at the
University of Denver.
“It’s hard to understand sorority life looking
from the outside in. Overall sorority life has
given me the opportunity to be a better
women” Gaia Altshuler, a sophomore at the
University of Denver stated.
“I think the most common misconception is that all that matters to
sororities is partying and getting drunk…there is more to sororities
including philanthropy, sisterhood, and networking,” Lauren Calkins, a
University of Denver junior, stated.
Throughout recruitment
sororities show their
endless love and support.
Sororities are about more
than the stereotypes say.
Sorority women are
involved in philanthropy and
volunteering, are constantly
concerned and working on
academics and they always
have a place to call home.
Sorority members
gather multiple times a
week for study hours
at their house.

Altshuler said,
“I found a
house that felt
like home and
saw the
potential to be
part of an
amazing
sisterhood.”
Lauren Calkins, a DU junior, said, “I would say that a sorority is a group of
women who support each other no matter what and do fun activities to grow
their bond. It can be a very social college experience but your sorority
sisters be right by your side when you're laughing and when you're sad.”
