Did you know...

.....that RSU has a GREEK LIFE?!
That's right, RSU has SORORITIES and FRATERNITIES!!

Ha, well--before I get to all of that I would love to introduce
myself--- My name is Paula Blalock, and I'm a senior student here at RSU! =) I graduated in 2006 from Pryor High School in little Pryor Creek Oklahoma, and came here to get my degree in Business Marketing.
If you haven't guessed by now, I'm the lucky student that gets to BLOG about RSU GREEK LIFE! =)

Let me start off by saying that I'm sooooo pumped about being RSU's next blogger, and I cant wait to tell you EVERYTHING about what GREEK life at RSU has to offer you! =)

Alright... so what do you think of when you hear the words "sorority" and "fraternity?" Most people would agree that they are just a bunch of crazy college kids that get together, party, skip class, and do insane stuff like eating toothpaste or having to run across campus naked (just a few of the things people say when I ask them that, haha)
However, GREEK life at RSU is none of the above!
Sure, we like to have a good time, but no way----we definitely don't make you eat anything gross!

RSU has 2 sororities Alpha Sigma Tau (A∑T) and Alpha Sigma Alpha (A∑A). Both sororities are made up of wonderful women, and Ill talk a lot more about them in future blogs! =)

RSU also has 1 fraternity, Pi Kappa Alpha (PKA). There's lots of really cool guys in PIKE, and they're always hosting lots of cool events and banquets!
--a girls gotta love a college banquet.... you get to get all dressed up and go to a fancy dinner... its like an adult prom, without all the drama!--

Well, now that you know that RSU even has a GREEK life system, lets hear some feedback! What do you want to know? Do you have any questions or comments? Things you would like to see on the GREEK life blog?

......or better yet, would you like to join GREEK life?!?
Well, if you do, send me a comment, or call or shoot an email to BJ Armstrong over in the Student Affairs office in the Union.... he'll put you on the right track to GOING GREEK! =)
barmstrong@rsu.edu or 918.343.7579


Soooo... it looks like you might just have the basics down! Ill continue writing about RSU's GREEK LIFE here on the blog, and Ill always try to give you a heads up on information about upcoming events!

Hope to hear back from you!
