So you’re looking to join a sorority? Maybe you are wondering what options are even out there. There are, of course, all of the typical Panhellenic options, but there are other options to consider as well. Hopefully this guide can help you find the sisterhood that will suit you best!

1. Chi Theta Phi:

Chi Theta Phi is a local sorority that was founded at Oregon State University in 2013. As a social sorority with a professional focus, Chi Theta Phi provides a balance between social and academic/professional activities relating to Interior Design, Housing Studies, Apparel Design, Merchandising Management, and Graphic Design.

Madeline is a Senior at Oregon State majoring in Merchandising Management and minoring in writing. She was the 2016-'17 president of Chi Theta Phi, a local design sorority on campus. If she's not in class, at a club meeting, chapter, or writing, she's probably spending time with her family, friends, walking her dogs, eating junk food, or watching too many crime, comedy, or fashion shows on Netflix. She likes cheese, dogs, creative projects, obnoxious animal prints, garage sales, farmer's markets, and generally just being silly.
