Theta sorority at lsu. Alpha Phi is the hardest to get into… Depending on how many legacies are going through recruitment, probably Kappa Delta is the hardest. Erika, LOVED your post. All in all, those who expected, OR WERE TOLD they should be. I considered it when i was looking. How much is LSU tuition per year? I remember my Rhochi saying that the houses knew where you belonged better than you knew where you belonged. I wish that rush was more of a draw thing.
Add to that, trying to keep your grades high and all the other little chores that go along with "independance" and you can see how some would be overwhelmed. They are all about the same. Justamom, sounds like it's all good with your sweetie. This is one area that has both good and bad points.
But I would wager most states are like that. Rolleyes: Just out of curiosity, on what are those predictions based? Kentucky and LSU, 21. Here's the sequel to the 2001 thread. Navane-I don't know much about that end of it. In the late 80's, this wonderful woman was put in charge and things started to turn around Panhellenically. List of sororities at lsu. For the most part, every one there was an alum of a Greek organization at LSU. Louisiana State University – LSU Sororities. Incidentally, 5/4/70 was the very day that my mother-in-law found out she was having twins!!! H2oot-Do you know much about fraternity rush? Some were cut from all ten sororites and some dropped out after being cut from their favorites. That was the last straw.

It's been said only takes one great pledge class to turn a chapter around.
Anyway, the next two years will be really interesting and exciting since I know so many of the kids. By comparison, at Alabama, more than 9, 500 students alone take part in social fraternities and sororities. If I have kids they hopefully will be aggies too:D. 11-20-2001, 06:47 PM. One Krewe in particular has membership that is basically passed from mother/mother-in-law to daughter/daughter-in-law. Are there sorority houses at LSU? Many groups are leary about shelling out that kind of money unless the return on investment can be guaranteed. Well, they aren't as pretty as I had hoped, but they are better than MINE were my first year! That would seem to me to be the ideal situation.

They soon priced themselves out of the market. I hope they find a constructive way to ease their hurt until maybe they can have another shot at rush if they so desire. What is the biggest sorority at LSU? It's nice to hear what is going on with everyone and watching all these young lives a story waiting to be told. But it was great while it lasted and I'm glad I was so active my first three years. This is indeed wonderful and honorable. That is why I find it so refreshing that some schools it doesn't matter what house you are in. IMHO, it would be risky but doable. It was hard to see girls that were in my Rho Chi group there one day and not the next. Mmcat:p:D:cool: 10-27-2001, 02:38 PM.

Delta Sigma Theta – ΔΣΘ Ratings: 13. Contacts are so important, so why not create a situation that would attract those who are interested. On one hand, it was great if your child was a legacy of a currently strong house, but on the other, some of the legacies were not the best representatives of our area.
