Any local service sororities out there?

OPhiAGinger · #1 09-01-2006, 01:35 AM

Hi! I was just wondering whether any of you are members of local sororities that would categorize yourself as a 'service' sorority. Almost all GLOs perform valuable community service activities or raise money for a philanthropy. But some GLOs have a decidedly heavier emphasis on service, and those are the ones I'm asking about.

Are you out there?

I'm a member of a local sorority but we're not necessarily more service oriented... But none-the-less, DZO is, in fact, local!

I know the famous chapter of the "Famous" DZO tried to affiliate with the NPC, but it ended up not going through.

I am the origonal founding sister from the Beta Epsilon chapter of the "Famous DZO" and no we did not try to go to the same NPC sorority as our alpha chapter, I am wondering where you get your facts. That knowledge is not publicly known. And yes to those that ask we are proudly members of DZO and NO we didnt know they were on MTV until after we were a colony and we have NEVER questioned it. My sisters are my sisters please dont bash them, and leave their past in the past. Those sisters are no longer there, and that was a brief period in their history.

To the origonal poster, we perform at least 2-3 service projects a quarter as well as the personal hours that the sisters all log! Our chapter was founded on the idea that public service was more than just a once a quarter concept HOWEVER we are a social sorority but there are plenty out there good luck to you. And I hope that this can return to the OP and help her find a service sorority. If you have a question about DZO just PM me. Thanks

Just to be clear, I never said anything in this thread to bash your sorority. You may want to do a search on GC regarding your chapter's website prior to it affiliating with DZO. There's a thread that discusses what I was referring to.

Why the Beta Epsilon for the chapter designation? If you can share that is...

DZOPiccolo · #13 09-15-2006, 02:45 PM

i'm not totally sure what you mean...

Drolefille · #14 09-15-2006, 02:58 PM

Usually, the first chapter is "Alpha" the second is "Beta" third is "Gamma" etc. Why are you guys the "Beta Epsilon" chapter of DZO if you're the second?

Maybe I can clear this up, we are the Beta Epsilon chapter because when we decided to be a part of DZO we didn't want to loose our chapter history and traditions and most of that centered around the one thing that we had left which was our name. Its a very long and horrible story so I wont go into it but that is the reason. It was a "gift" from our Alpha chapter. Though when they refer to us they usually say Beta chapter for quick refrence

Its just another way that DZO is diffrent and recognizes that our chapter is unique.
