<p>I know that on the Black Greek Scene (even though I am far from knowledgeable about how it all works), the major sororities are the Alpha Kappa Alphas (AKA), the Delta Sigma Thetas (Deltas), and I think the Zetas. </p>
<p>While these seem to be pretty much the standard from what I hear…are there any major White sororities that have the same national level of name recognition? I ask because it seems that since most campuses (at least the ones in Alabama) have a lot more White sororities, there might be a lot more room to move and less of a major house. I have no idea, so I’m asking. I’m guessing that there probably is, I’m just curious. Are there major Hispanic fraternities/sororities in America?</p>
<p>The Greek Scene isn’t me…unless I happen to find a sorority that had a bit more diversity in members and wasn’t cookie cutter. Unlikely, I know. At least from what I’ve seen in my own state. Alabama is a terrible measuring stick. </p>
<p>I sincerely apologize if this post offends anyone, as that is certainly not the intention.</p>
<p>There are only 4 NPHC (historically African-American) sororities. There are the 2 biggies (AKA and Delta) and then Zeta Phi Beta and Sigma Gamma Rho.</p>
<p>There are 26 NPC (historically white) women’s fraternities and sororities. Many of these groups were founded before the word “sorority” was coined, hence they are women’s fraternities. While each of these organizations all have chapters across the country, there are definitely some that are stronger nationally than others. That being said, each chapter picks its own members and campus reputation does vary from chapter to chapter. </p>
<p>There are Hispanic and Asian based GLOs but they are a relatively recent development within the last couple of decades.</p>
<p>In terms of going through NPC rush at any college, go to ALL parties during ALL phases of recruitment and keep an open mind when meeting the actives from each chapter. Make sure you secure alumnae recommendations for each group represented at your school, especially if you are going to BAMA.</p>
<p>The NPHC and multicultural GLOs have a different membership intake process than NPC.</p>
<p>Motherdear provided a lot of good information. The only thing I want to add is to keep in mind Fraternities and Sororities can vary dramatically from school to school. Some organizations are known to be very large and the best nationally but not all chapters are the same. Like Motherdear said make sure you go to all the rush parties to figure out the one that fits you best.</p>
