So I have found a new sorority here in Brussels. I wasn't really looking for one, because I didn't think sororities extended beyond college, but it just kind of fell into my lap. There was no formal rush, and I didn't have to fill out a bid card, but they have a great sorority house with a chapter room and all. They have socials and formals and even a wonderful philanthropy. The sisters are great and have been really welcoming to us new rushees. There is even a "brother" fraternity for Kyle to join!
The sorority's name is "AWC" or "A-wack" as my friends and I like to call it. Kyle's would-be fraternity is called STUDS. What these two acronyms really stand for is the American Women's Club of Brussels and Spouses Trailing Under Duress Successfully.
AWC is definitely more of a club than anything else, but it sure feels like a sorority to me. There are a house and membership dues, and over 1,000 women who are members. They have coffee hours, trips, philanthropy events and rich white women everywhere you turn. I have just recently become an official member after taking a wonderful "Hints for Living in Belgium" class there. In case you want to check out the website, it is http://www.awcb.org/club/awcb/
