Sororities across the country, including Delta Gamma at Ohio University, are launching campaigns to help combat stereotypes about sorority women.
"Being in a sorority is so more than you know, just partying and socializing," said Elizabeth Harris, a Delta Gamma member at OU. "It's a place where you learn to become something bigger than yourself."

However, the positivity really kind of took over. We know we affected people more positively than anything and that's really important to us."
