Sorority Life: not as seen on TV
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrase “student council”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article covers one writer’s experience with sorority life and recruitment at Johns Hopkins.
- The article says the writer joined a sorority after meeting campus-involved women and finding it difficult to meet others with similar interests.
- The paper reported that recruitment helped the writer and her dorm-mates make friends and join an organization, even though they had not planned to join one.
- The article adds that sorority membership can offer study partners, close friendships, social events, leadership roles and community-service opportunities.
- According to the article, four sororities take part in formal recruitment during the first week of the second semester: Alpha Phi, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Kappa Alpha Theta and Phi Mu; two other organizations run separate recruitment programs.
- The reporter writes that students can attend Panhellenic events in the fall to meet other students and older members, whether or not they plan to join a sorority.
