SOUTHEASTERN SORORITIES PARTNER WITH LSU FOR INFORMATIONAL “SORORITY SOCIAL” JUNE 22       HAMMOND -- Southeastern Louisiana University’s Sorority Council and its counterpart at Louisiana State University are joining hands for the first time to host an informational social event for young women interested in joining sororities.       The “Sorority Social,” scheduled for 6 to 8:30 p.m., Sunday, June 22, is designed to encourage women currently attending or planning to enroll at Southeastern or LSU to participate in fall sorority recruitment, said Kay Harrison, interim director of Student Organizations/Greek Life at Southeastern.       “All sororities from Southeastern and LSU will be represented and attendees can visit with different chapter members and learn more about the recruitment process,” Harrison said. The attire is casual and refreshments will be served.       Participants will also tour the Village, where the Sorority Social will be held. The $7 million residential housing facility for the university’s fraternities and sororities opened on Southeastern’s North Campus in 1999. Located next to the Southeastern University Center on University Ave., the Village gives sororities and fraternities the opportunity to live together in their own neighborhood, without the expense of buying or building their own house.       Southeastern Panhellenic President Melissa Miller, a senior health sciences major from Gretna, said the Sorority Social “is a unique opportunity for students to get more acquainted with Greek organizations and to learn about the importance of getting involved on campus.        “It’s also been great for our Panhellenic community to partner with the sororities at LSU to exchange ideas and work for the same goal, which is to recruit quality women into all of our  chapters,” she added.       Panhellenic First Vice President Jennifer Notariano, a junior from Ponchatoula majoring in political science, said, “The Sorority Social is a great opportunity to meet new people from Southeastern and get to know more about the neat things sorority life can offer a potential member.  I encourage every woman who is even a little bit interested to come out and learn more.”       Southeastern sororities that will be represented at the social include Alpha Sigma Tau, Alpha Omicron Pi, Sigma Sigma Sigma, Phi Mu and Theta Phi Alpha.       For additional information about the Sorority Social, contact Student Organizations/ Greek Life at 985-549-2120.
