Best of luck to you, Ames!

How odd to see a campus without any of the Alpha sororities!

Not entirely true, there is Alpha Kappa Alpha!!!

However, I knew what you meant; no NPC Alphas.

Good luck with rush, Ames. Enjoy it the best you can and keep an open mind. Also, try to remember that if you get dropped from a house, it's often more about numbers, legacies coming through, etc. than the specific individual. There are always more great PNMs coming through than many of the more popular houses can take.

No matter which house you wind up in you'll have a great Greek experience. There are no weak sororities there. They all have a good base and lots of tradition. Fall season around LSU, no matter which sorority you're in, is fantastic so enjoy enjoy.
