panhellenic means all greek

Wow! I just watched my daughter go through recruitment at Mizzou! Congrats to all of you and your Panhellenic for managing and excelling at the second largest Recruitment in the US. My daughter had a fabulous experience and pledged a great house. It was not mine...but that's okay because I was on a different campus 30 years ago...she got to make her own choices. The one thing I find disconcerting about your Greek system is the cattiness and the digs you make at each other. Panhellenic means "All Greek"...I was our PHA President and had friends in all the houses. My college mentor was in a different house than mine and was PHA president before me. We are in touch to this day! Apparently our Greek system was much stronger than yours since we didn't need to tear each other down, and rank each other's pledges. Greek Life is AWESOME and I'm so glad my daughter is going to find lifelong friends in her sisters. I did. Look for the best in each other and celebrate you have so many great houses! Sure recruitment is competitive but I'd challenge each of you to focus on building your system up instead of tearing each other down. Her "Greek" Daddy and i are grateful she is at Mizzou and a part of something bigger than a special interest club. With kind thoughts and regards from a Panhellenic Momma...once a Panhellenic President, always a Panhellenic President!
