    What is a sorority girl?

    It's ok, I don't get it either - but that's because it doesn't apply to the UK, we don't have sororities :smile:

    Well, I think it's some sort of secret society, because nobody seems to want to explain what it actually means! So far, the horse picture is all I have to go on! Oh, and that it happens in groups of 3 or more... :laugh:

    Here is a definition:

    A sorority if a fraternal organization for college aged women. Traditionally, they were formed as a "sister organization" to a men's collegiate franternity, but not all sororities were founded that way. They are part of a larger governing body called the Nationall Panallenic Council, which sets forth guiding prinicples for all memebr organizations (sororites and fraternities) to follow. Most take thier names from a combination of Greek letters.

    Sororites and fraternities are "members only" type organizations, with membership requirments and rituals that are hundreds of years old in some cases. In addition to social activites, they have high academic standards and community service requirements for their members.

    Upon graduation, members become part of their respctive group's alumi associations, and can remain active in this group throughout thier lifetime. Almuni groups offer adults an outlet for socialization and community service.

    It's like a social club on college campus (and for alums after). There's a formal recruitment period, dues, initiation rituals. They are "secret" societies with histories, traditions, and rituals known only to initiated members. They are a way to get involved on campus, get to know like-minded women, and make friends. They sponsor philanthropy events, throw lots of parties, and wear a lot of matching outfits.

    You're welcome! There are lots of stereotypes about sorority girls in the states - positive and negative. Personally, I went from a small town high school to a huge state university, but rushing a sorority (aka a "house") immediately introduced me to a group of girls my age that I could go to class with, eat meals with, go to parties with, study with, etc. We also did a ton of events with fraternities (the male version), including buying blocks of tickets for sporting events (which is how I met Mr Cheesefries). :drinker: There was always something to do, and I loved it. Now that college is over (and has been longer than i care to admit) I can still network and socialize through alumni connections.

    There are also Greek-letter honor and service fraternities, but they have a slightly different emphasis.
