The Sororities

Theta Alpha - The 'grande dame' of sororities on campus, Theta Alpha was the first sorority on the Brookline University campus. The Alpha's used to be very exclusive but in the 1999-2000 year, the members are trying to get more involved on campus, and break down their image of seeming off limits. They have seen dwindling numbers over the years and are trying to pledge more girls than in the past. They are seen as exclusive, and somewhat snobby by some students, but are working hard to change their image. Their philanthropy is HIV/AIDS. They are paired with the Alpha Kappa Epsilon fraternity.

Delta Gamma Rho - The latest trend. In the past, the DG Rho's were known as a boring sorority, one that wasn't involved much in any aspect of the school. In the past few years the members have worked hard presenting a new attitude for the DG Rho's. They often host parties, do charity work (as all the sororities do) that involves fun, and they've become involved in intramurual sports. Delta Gamma Rho is becoming one of the more known sororities on campus. It's philanthropy is a children's collaborative drop in center. It's becoming more popular with all kinds of students. They are paired with the Kappa Delta Sigma's.

Pi Beta Gamma - This sorority has an image between the Theta Alpha and Chi Omega Beta houses. It was a party house for years, until recently when past presidents who were legacies tried to give it a better image. It's hard to get into, and some people think the house is somewhat snooty compared to the others. The Bet's still have a reputation for giving good parties, and boast one of the largest on campus events every winter. Their philanthropy is United Cerebral Palsy. They are paired with the Zeta Alpha Psi fraternity.

Chi Omega Beta - The self proclaimed party house. ChiOBeta has along tradition of fun behind it. This sorority has been active in sports, pep rallys, fundraising, and is known for some of it's wild theme parties. It's one of the more popular sororities on campus, and one of the largest. They are always visible at football games, and rally's on campus, and most people during their years at Brookline University will go to at least one ChiOBeta party, probably their legendary Halloween parties. Their philanthropy is National Breast Cancer Foundation. They are paired with the Delta Sigma Tau fraternity.

Phi Delta Pi - The sorority of activists. This house is often raising money for a new cause. Their set philanthropy is Save The Harbor Save The Bay locally, and Greenpeace internationally. The sorority is seen as the one to join if you don't want to be part of a typical Greek experience. The sorority attracts a lot of unique students and prides itself on being different from everyone else on campus, which has made them popular with girls that wouldn't usually think of joining a sorority. They are paired with the Psi Kappa Sigma fraternity.

Gamma Chi - Gamma Chi is the most racially diverse house on campus. Many students that belong to science majors favor this house, and it has a view of being suited to scholars and serious students.

This sorority is a favorite of the administration, who never fail to use it and it's members to show the good sororities can do. They are paired with the Omega Zeta Tau fraternity.

Iota Sigma Phi - The newest sorority on campus, it's first year in rush is in the 1999-2000 school year. They don't have an image yet, as they are very new. The sorority has recently rented a house that is a block off campus. They started as a local sorority and just got national status by being absorbed by a national, previously they were Eta Phi local sorority. People are curious about them because they are very new and don't have a set image.

They are now paired with Sigma Epsilon Chi.
