Corporate Sorority Sister: Translating Sorority Leadership into Fortune 500 Career Skills
In today’s episode of Sorority Chat, host Liz Alexander welcomes Alicia Conner, founder of Corporate Sorority Sister and longtime Chi Omega advisor at the University of Arkansas, to discuss how sorority life builds marketable leadership and business skills. Alicia shares her “aha” moments from 14 years advising a 600-member chapter, explains why peer-to-peer leadership and recruitment mirror real corporate influence, and tells a networking story about translating sorority operations into Fortune 500 language for an SVP at Walmart. They also discuss tracking sorority experiences and metrics for resumes and interviews, using an authentic personal style as part of a professional brand, and how faith has shaped Alicia’s calling. Liz closes with a “House Hot Take” on planning Greek house projects backward from recruitment deadlines for a smoother, stress-free recruitment season.

The State of Sorority: Growth Trends, Parent Questions, Safety, and Recruitment
Liz Alexander opens a new chapter for Sorority Chat as the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) official podcast and welcomes back NPC CEO Dani Weatherford to discuss the current state of sorority life. Weatherford shares that NPC membership has grown to nearly 400,000 undergraduate members across 26 organizations, with about 150,000 new members last year, while noting a decrease in the number of chapters tied to uneven campus enrollment trends. They discuss upcoming NPC research on what drives sorority success across campus types, findings from parental-influence research showing strong support and a desire for early, official information, and why recruitment guidance should come from campus-based sources rather than paid coaches. The conversation also covers federal advocacy, including the STOP Campus Hazing Act and freedom-of-association legislation, plus a “House Hot Take” on how pride in chapter spaces shapes daily culture.

Recruitment, Leadership, and Finding Your Fit
In today’s episode of Sorority Chat, host Liz Alexander welcomes Emma Simpson, an Alpha Omicron Pi member at the University of Tennessee at Martin, to share her college and Greek life journey in her hometown. Emma discusses choosing UTM after initially wanting an SEC school, discovering campus felt bigger than expected, and navigating recruitment pressure as a Chi Omega legacy before finding peace and belonging in AOPi.
She discusses her leadership roles as director of academics and vice president of community relations, what it’s like to coordinate service and sister participation, and why authenticity matters most during recruitment. Emma also reflects on balancing a 4.0 GPA in a pre-health track with extensive family football travel, and she offers advice for students considering staying close to home.
