How Greek life helps prepare young women to launch successful careers.

In the fall of 2008, Macia Batista, a junior at Le Moyne College, attended a women’s panel on human trafficking at Syracuse University. After the event, Batista sought out the familiar face of the woman who led the event. To Batista’s surprise, the woman, Joannie Diaz, was her high school classmate. But this woman was about to become much more to her. In just a few months, Batista would call Diaz her sorority sister, and fast forward six years later and she is now Batista’s business partner.

Hundreds of young Syracuse women celebrated their acceptance Sunday into one of 11 Panhellenic sororities with cheering and dancing aplenty.

Dozens of women wearing red, white and blue knee socks twisted and stomped, dancing and shouting along to Miley Cyrus’s “Party in the USA.” One had fashioned a makeshift cape from an American flag; another darted around wildly with a smaller flag clamped between her teeth. They whipped around scarlet feather boas, chanting “U-S-A! U-S-A!” It was like an alternate-universe Fourth of July: about 60 degrees colder and a whole lot louder.

It was Bid Day at SU.
