A manner used when I was a ZTA, always show the older girls more respect, they have been there longer, and. Lot of the time they have the sororities best interests at heart!!
I enjoy your blog! The most helpful manner I learned while being Greek was how to make make people feel important and listened to when first meeting them. Repeating their name (at least once in the conversation), making eye contact, sometimes a small physical touch, such as on the arm or shoulder, and of course, truly “hearing” what they are saying, all make a person feel a connection.
My favorite thing I have learned is keep your body open by not crossing your arms. It shows the person you are talking to that you really are interested it what they are saying
Loving all of the greek manners. So much to learn… keep them coming!
Respecting everyone is a big part of sisterhood. I still promote that as an Alumna Adviser for my chapter.
One of my favorite things about being in KD is formal dinner before chapter. Eating in nice attire regularly really makes you think about the way that you present yourself while trying to fill your stomach with delicious food (more often than not pasta and bread). So now when that special boy takes me home to meet his family, the last thing I am worried about is looking like a slob while trying to impress his mother.
I think it’s important to be genuine and respectful with sisters, being yourself, and kind, is the best way to make long lasting friends. Also, I remember a workshop from recruitment when we learned to use a new acquaintance’s a few times while speaking, to help remember their name and to show that you were listening!
One of the most important aspect of etiquette that I have learned from being a Kappa Delta is the loss art of a thank you note. Every chapter appreciates one and every sister deserves to be recognized and appreciated for her hard work.
Jen, I couldn’t agree more that the thank-you not is still very much in style! Something your Kappa Delta years taught you well! Thanks so much for stopping by!
From practicing dining habits to keeping an open body posture, Greek Life is the perfect place to learn and practice lessons that you will use for the rest of your life! Loving all of the manners…
Having a strong southern background I have inherited the importance of having most of my juvenile attire monogrammed. To this day, I can’t get enough. I’ve wanted one of these necklaces for awhile. I love the gold, not only because I’m allergic to anything else. It’s shows a certain interest in yourself. I’d love to have my son’s things monogrammed too. Maybe one day. What a great giveaway.
Love this post! Makes me so nostalgic for sorority days! Delta Gamma taught me so much and I cherish the days I spent with my lovely DG sisters!
