Sisterhood is a bond we share for eternal life. Iota Lambda makes it their responsibility to manage risk amongst members and provide a safe environment for all members.

Despite external views we are first and foremost a non-hazing sorority and in no way wish to belittle or humiliate any of our sisters. Our Sorority places emphasis on what a sisterhood truly is through tradition, history, bonding, teamwork, positive influence, and motivation. Alpha Kappa Alpha has implemented a buddy accountability system where individuals pick a partner who is another member of the sorority; you have the option

    “It’s not what it looks like”, this is what the majority of members of a sorority or fraternity would respond after being asked about Greek life. Why is that they feel like they have to say that? One word: Marketing. The way sororities and fraternities are portrayed to the public gives off a bad image and reputation about the members and their community. Any person who has not been part of Greek life and does not have any information about this community and its activities they would think sororities and fraternities are just a big house full of college people just having fun, drinking, and sleeping around.…

    Before we step into the real world of college, we hear about all the different sororities and fraternities, what goes on, what they act like, and what they do. We all have seem to have our different views of what “Greek life” really is, but have we really observed the people and the things they do? Despite the ongoing stereotypes we hear about Greek Life on college campuses, being involved here at UCM seems to be very beneficial for not only the students, but the community too. Yes, there are true and false stereotypes for the different sororities or fraternities here at UCM, but if you take a look at what Greek life does around campus, you are able to see the different values they uphold and how they interact with everyone on campus. One of the most popular stereotypes you hear about Greek Life on campus is that, everyone in them is not in college for the education, they are just here to have a good time.…

After months and months of my ears being flooded with “Zeta this, Gamma Rho that, AKA this, and Delta that,” and my friends telling me that I should pledge Delta because I’m very blunt and have an attitude, I literally thought the whole sorority (sisterhood) and fraternity (brotherhood) thing was stupid and childish. I told myself that I would never be apart of any sisterhood and I would be my own support, and my own organization. However, after continued pestering from my friends about how I should become a Delta because of my fitted Delta personality, I decided to do some research. The one thing that sold me on wanting to become a…
