Sorority
Hazing
Like a storm cloud on a summer day or a hair in your food, the issue of hazing is the ever-looming aspect of Greek life that threatens to ruin everything. While every inter/national fraternity and sorority has a no-hazing policy, the issue continues to be a problem (in fact, last week a chapter at my alma mater was reprimanded for hazing).
Dealing with Troublesome Members
Although we seldom care to admit it, every Greek chapter has those various “bad apple” members. If not monitored and confronted, a bad member can decrease the productivity of your members and even ruin the reputation of your entire chapter.
Big Sis/Lil Sis Program
One of the great benefits of being part of a sorority is the relationships you build with other members. Many sisters looking back on their collegiate days will recall the friends they met who are still a major part of their lives.
Dirty Rushing
Every day of our lives we make decisions and choices. The majority of our choices are mundane and made with little reasoning or thought of consequence. However, every once in a while there comes that tempting option that tests your moral compass.
Serenade Songs
Serenades are a fun and entertaining way to improve public relations between fraternity and sorority chapters. Depending on who you’re serenading, songs can be romantic, funny, or completely raunchy. They can include props, live music, or even a sister from the sorority.
Top 10 Serenade Don’ts
Public speaking can be daunting, especially when the audience is a group of sorority girls. And if a brother isn’t ready, his speech may sound more like a foreign language than an announcement. While sorority members may overlook mumbling or think its “cute”, it really doesn’t reflect well on your chapter. Prepare your brothers with a public speaking workshop or a quick bullet-point presentation.

We at ChapterTalk are always on the lookout for innovation and new trends in the Greek community. After hearing some incredible stories of Greek communities across the country, we composed our Top 10 Greek Communities.
Top Fraternity and Sorority Mottos
Every fraternity and sorority has a motto by which its members are inspired and directed. Some mottos are secret, some mottos are open (public), and some mottos are a little bit of both.
