So You Wanna Rush at OU? A Deep Dive into Sorority Numbers (and Avoiding the Teal Abyss)
Hey there, future Sooner! Dreaming of rocking a cute sundress and letters that aren't "OU Parking Ticket"? Thinking about rushing a sorority at the University of Oklahoma? Well, you've come to the right place (besides those gorgeous fraternity houses, of course). Let's get down to brass tacks, or should we say Greek letters, and figure out exactly how many amazing sororities you might be calling home (or at least crashing their philanthropy events for free pizza).
The Big Reveal: How Many Sororities Are We Talking About?
Alright, alright, simmer down there, Nancy Drew. The suspense is killer, we know. But before we spill the beans, a little history lesson. The University of Oklahoma boasts two main sorority groups: the Panhellenic Association and the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) affiliated chapters. Now, these aren't rival gangs vying for control of campus (although themed dodgeball tournaments might be fun...), they just have different organizational structures.
Tip: The details are worth a second look.
