Choosing to rush at Trinity University is an amazing choice. The Greek system at TU is proud of our 7 local sororities. Because we are local, we have significantly lower dues (in comparison to national chapters) and each sorority has a unique and personal relationship to the Trinity campus. Sorority women at Trinity are involved in different things all over campus, and several hold some of the top leadership positions in their organizations. We have a variety of majors and we represent states across the country as well as International countries (Ecuador, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, the UK, Holland and more). Sorority women are proud of their clubs and each other. We are dedicated to uplifting the individual and upholding the four pillars of Greek Life: Scholarship, Service, Leadership and Social.
Sounds great right? Now you're probably wondering what sorority women actually do. - Yes, we love to have fun (several of us host mixers with fraternities or sports teams). - Yes, we have formals (most of us go camping or on beach weekends). - and Yes, we do love to each lunch/dinner together in mabee while wearing the same shirt (what's with that?!?)
But BESIDES ALL THAT, sororities at Trinity are supportive networks. In a sorority, you can count on your sisters to be there for you (whether it be personally or academically). Several sorority women use their own alumni for networking possibilities and advice for careers and internships. Your sorority sisters will accept you for who you are and will celebrate your successes (like when you land a lead role in the play! - congrats to Senior Alpha Chi Jamie Hyndman; see her in 'Booth' premiering next month - or when your team wins a big game - congratulations to senior Spur Chelsea Wilson whose 2 goals helped shutout Oglethorpe 6-0 in women's soccer).
Sorority members also host big service events throughout the semester: the women of Zeta Chi have partnered up with the Sexual Diversity Alliance to host a Drag Show TONIGHT at 8:30pm on Esplanade in which all proceeds will benefit the San Antonio AIDS foundation, and the women of Gamma Chi Delta will host their 3rd annual Concert for the Cure benefiting the American Cancer Society on January 28 at Sunset Station's Lone Star Pavilion featuring country artists Roger Creager and Paul Eason.
Sorority women at Trinity helped found the Sorority Body Image Program, which is the first evidence-based, sustainable eating disorders prevention program in the country. It has gained national attention through Tri-Delta Sorority and is well-known in the medical world. Sorority women at Trinity realize that college women have the unique power to spread the 'healthy ideal' and are dedicated to supporting one another to achieve healthy perceptions of own bodies. This week (October 13-17) is FAT TALK FREE WEEK, a booth will be set up in Coates University Center where you can pledge to eliminate fat talk from your conversations and encourage others to do the same. Check out this video for more info: https://secure.pursuantgroup.net/pursuant4/deltadeltadelta/fall08/dddselect/flashstory.asp The sororities encourage all Trinity women to sign the pledge and help us in our campaign for healthy body image perception.
