Sisters of HHS

Sororities are based off of sisterhood, trust, and loyalty. They are all woman societies meant for social purposes. In 1882, Gamma Phi Beta was the first woman-only organization to use the name Sorority at Syracuse University. From this one organization came thousands of other sisterships and sorority houses. Though sororities are more common at colleges, Hartselle High School has continued the sisterhood tradition by creating three sororities that are each unique with different values but each have the same core foundation. Les Amies is Hartselle`s only French sorority, established in 1966- showing that Hartselle High has long had sisterhood in its blood. Phi Omega is known for being all inclusive and being helpers of the community. Kappa Delta Sigma members show their school spirit by hosting fun raves, which bring students closer together. The draw to each sorority at Hartselle is strong because of the promise of having a family of friends that will always have your back. Each Sorority impacts Hartselle in a positive way, with service projects and fun events to pull HHS together. Many girls aspire to be a sister to their favorite of the three each year and go through a certain process to do so. Only a few can make it through all of the Rush Weeks, which reveal who the most committed rushees are. One week, Hartselle`s Phi Omega sorority rushees cannot talk to boys. A rush week in Les Amies could look like bowing down to upperclassmen and wearing tacky blue eye shadow everyday. You may have noticed girls suddenly dressed in all black for a week straight- you can thank Kappa Delta Sigma for this sight. By the time all of this ends and each girl is sufficiently embarrassed, there will be around nine new sisters in each of HHS`s Sororities. But the question is, is all of this suffering worth being in a high school sorority? Many seem to think so, as all three houses are thriving.
