"The Society of Recovering Sorority Girls wishes all of the collegiate chapters busily preparing for fall rush the best of luck with their recruitment efforts," Rose said.  "While the process is hectic and can sometimes be stressful, the Greek experience teaches many important life skills and a new generation of women should have the opportunity to benefit from it."

"We also urge all sorority alumnae members to get involved in the recruitment process by writing letters of recommendation and offering support to their collegiate chapters,” Brooks added.  “Sorority membership does not end with graduation, it's a lifelong commitment.  If you want your organization's alumnae network to remain strong, you've got to support the collegiate chapters in their efforts to continue recruiting high quality women."

Morgan and Brooksie are the authors of The Recovering Sorority Girls’ Guide to a Years Worth of Perfect Parties (Andrews McMeel, 2005).  This comprehensive party-planning guide is based on the premise that Greek life provides numerous positive benefits, including the ability to plan and host a great party.   Specifically they cite the party-driven nature of sorority recruitment as a trial by fire in developing solid party themes and menus, the ability to work within a party budget and the importance of establishing a realistic party timeline.  After graduating and realizing that many professional women lacked this crucial knowledge, they founded the Society of Recovering Sorority Girls – aka Rho Sigma Gamma - to educate people on fabulous party hosting techniques and to foster the growth of an entertainment-based lifestyle sorority. 

Although the Society of Recovering Sorority Girls tends to focus on the party planning skills one learns in a collegiate sorority, they recognize that the Greek experience prepares women for unlimited professional leadership challenges.  Examples include U.S. Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, a member of Alpha Chi Omega, Today Show Host Katie Couric, Delta Delta Delta, and Mary Ellen Weber, Phi Mu, is an astronaut who has participated on NASA shuttle missions.

“We call upon collegiate and alumnae members alike to find the next generation of Greek leaders,” concluded Rose and Brooks.
