Machine Members

Poster Message:
The machine is a coalition of 28 fraternities and sororities that decide (by requiring chapters and members to vote the way they want) almost all the student offices, homecoming court, etc. on campus. Anything that is put to a student vote on campus is controlled by the machine because of their huge voting block that predetermines candidates and who to vote for. The machine is basically controlled by OR fraternities. OR sororities are also involved but it's the guys that still control and make the decisions. Many State and local politicians are ex-members of the machine so the organization has power in State politics as well. This is not unlike many "secret societies" as Ivy League schools. Sororities that are members of the machine: AXO, ADP, AGD, AOP, XO, DDD, DZ, KD, KKG, PM, PBP, ZTA Sororities that are NOT a part of the machine: Aphi, Gphi, Theta, SK (some of these chapters have Nationals that absolutely forbid them to be a part of any organization where women aren't leading it) Fraternities in the machine: Beta, DChi, DKE, DTD, KappaSig, LXA, PhiDelt, Fiji, PKA, PiKapp, SAE, Sig Chi, SN, Theta Chi, ZBT
