Rushing to be Greek—Early in each fall term at Birmingham-Southern comes Recruitment Week, a formal membership drive for sororities and fraternities. Alpha Omicron Pi (pictured raising their banner) was one of six sororities on campus that welcomed its newest members at the college’s colorful Sorority Recruitment Bid Day Sept. 11. After receiving their bids, the new sorority women celebrated with their sisters in Bruno Great Hall of the Norton Campus Center. “The event concluded a week of sorority recruitment activities on campus,” said Misty Garrett, BSC coordinator of student life. “Sorority Recruitment 2007 was a huge success, pledging 106 women.” The college’s six national fraternities held their annual Bid Day Sept. 12 with a ceremony and open house for parents and friends. The following day, the college’s Interfraternity Council held a Block Party to congratulate new fraternity members. The Greek community at BSC provides a support system for students while fostering leadership, philanthropy, sisterhood, and brotherhood.
