A: A Sister Is

A phrase used when a sister helps out another sister in any way. Not followed by anything. Just said as is.

B is for Bid Day

Bid Day, Best Day!!! The day to welcome all our new babies to the family!

C is for Chapter

Usually two hours of council updating you on Greek life happenings. Can be super boring. Mandatory, but you get to see your sisters/brothers.

D is for Dues

Pricy, unavoidable, not a fan favorite.

E is for Eagles (duh!)

Eagles are the FGCU mascot, for those of you who don't know.

F: Frat Parties

Usually on Fridays or Saturdays, but honestly unpredictable. See "San Carlos".

G is for Grab-a-Date

The worst kind of socials if you don't know that many guys. (Pro-tip: make sure your guy doesn't flake on you last minute or you'll have to pay a fine.)

H is for Hot Outside

Florida heat + philanthropy events outside = certain death. Make sure you bring lots of water, sunscreen, and a cheery disposition.

I is for Initiation

The day you officially become a member of your organization. Exciting, kind of creepy during ritual, lots of pictures taken after.

J is for Just A Good Time

A phrase used to describe a frat party the day after when your friend who couldn't go asks how it was.

K is for Keys

Officially known as Keys Bar and Grille, great place to throw socials. Wednesdays are Ladies' Nights, so take advantage of that if you don't have class on Thursdays.

L is for Little/Big Reveal

Best day ever! Well, second to bid day. You find your forever family! Also lots of pictures, maybe even free food. Depends on your big.

M is for McDonalds

Nothing hits better than grabbing McDonalds after a philanthropy event, social, or party. It's fast, cheap, and delicious. #convenient.

N is for Nursing Program

This is a nearly-impossible program to get into, and I cannot tell you the amount of times we've cheered a sister for working her booty off to get in to the program. Shoutout to all my nursing majors.

O is for Open Minded

What every Rho Gamma will tell you during recruitment if you even mention you like a sorority before meeting them.

P is for Pledges

You know the drill, they come into chapter, sing a little song for the ladies, get on everyone's snapchat stories, and then humbly take their leave. Pledge season is the bomb.

Q is for Quick

It can be quick to feel at home when you're in the right place. It's a great feeling too. (For things that are not quick, see "Chapter".)

R is for Rush/Recruitment

Most stressful time of your life, undoubtedly. The nerves are high, but the results are worth it.

S is for San Carlos

The home to every "frat house" ever. If you haven't been to a party in San Carlos, you haven't lived.

T is for Toga Parties

Undeniably the worst theme. How am I supposed to look cute in my twin-xl sized sheet from my dorm room. Not a good look.

U is for Unique

FGCU Greek Life is really like no other Greek Life anywhere else, and we definitely pride ourselves on that.Just

V is for Visits

Aka chapter visits. Best when there's only like 3 visits, because you still get interaction, but it keeps chapter short enough that it stays under two hours.

W is for Wine Wednesdays

Even if you're underage, there's always some sort of Wednesday wine celebration going on that you can just go to dance at.

X is for XL tshirts

Even if they're too big for you, with a pair of shorts, your rocking the classic sorority girl look.

U is for 

Y is for Yelling

A common activity at every event ever. Whether your cheering people on, yelling out chants, or just screaming with excitement, it can get pretty noisy.

Z is for Zero Time 

Greek life will definitely eat up a lot of your time, and with lots of hard classes? Have fun trying to manage it all!
