Sorority Life at tuleesU

tulees University is a unique new line with a focus on eco-fashion specifically designed with soroity lifestyle in mind.

tulees is a company that creates eco-fashion in women’s clothing and focuses on fashion-forward, vertical production and delivery to you, our customer. A local, Seattle-based company; tulees is fanatic about environmental sustainability and ecology. As an innovator of eco-fashion, tulees’ use of "REPURPOSED" fabric makes us a pioneer in the industry.

Sourcing fabric and designing high quality, high fashion women's apparel, tuleesU pieces are fresh, current, and eco-friendly. We provide the fashion that our sorority sisters want! Womens tops, tshirts, graphic tees, longsleeve, tanks, tunics and more...leggings, skirts, dresses and more are now available!

Being in a sorority is NOT what you see on TV and in movies.
Yes, there are social functions, fraternity men and visitors from the inter/national organization, but life does not revolve around these things. It is so much more!


What It Is

  • A life-long support system that provides career opportunities and networking opportunities during college and in the real world
  • An organization that values philanthropy and community service
  • A place where women learn to be leaders
  • A place to meet amazing friends who will always be there for you when you need them
  • A place to enjoy formal dances, date parties and other fun social events

What It Is NOT
  • A place that puts your looks and wardrobe ahead of your values and personality
  • Full of ditzy girls who are only out to have a good time
  • A place that will haze you or make you do things against your will
  • Full of rich, spoiled and snobby girls
  • A place that is only interested in your money while you're in school and will forget about you after you graduate

Is It For Me?

If you can answer yes to any of the questions below, then you can find a home in a sorority.

Every campus and every chapter is different, but sororities participate in all kinds of things from intramural activities, to short theater productions, to musical performances, and much more! On top of that, they host events to raise money for local charities and volunteer at a wide variety of local organizations. And if you get involved in the leadership roles, you'll basically be an officer on the board of a small corporation.

We're not saying that sorority life is right for everyone, everywhere. To see if it's a fit for you, try going through recruitment. You'll meet lots of new people -- and potential sorority sisters.

  • Do you enjoy volunteering?
  • Is high academic achievement important to you?
  • Do you enjoy meeting new people?
  • Do you want to use your time at college to learn not only in the classroom, but also to grow as a person with new life skills that will help you beyond your years in school?
  • Do you enjoy participating in athletics?
  • Do you enjoy performing on stage in dance or theater?
  • Do you like to organize and run events?
  • Do you like to be involved in a wide variety of activities?

tulees U will help you to embody your sorority lifestyle through fashions created by tulees designer, Katie Senff, who understands the sorority life because she lives it daily!

"My sorority sisters mean the world to me. I can honestly say that I've met my future bridesmaids and best friends through my sorority. Because my sorority is so diverse, I have met so many wonderful girls, girls I would have never had the opportunity to talk with otherwise. Although my chapter consists of over 120 girls, I know if I ever had an issue or needed help, every single one of them would be there by my side." -Senior, University of California, Irvine
  
"A sorority is both fun and business. We like to go out, but at the same time, we know there are things that need to get done and we find a balance between the two." -Junior, Edinboro University

"It’s a group of girls who both have similar values and couldn’t be more different at the same time. The thing I love about is that we are all so involved in whatever it is that we are passionate about. Whether it is student council, different causes, certain academic areas, the social aspect or any other areas that one could be very passionate about. You have a group of women there to support and love you, cheering you on at anything you do as well as to be there to tell you if something maybe wasn’t such a great idea or to be your shoulder to cry on or to laugh with you no matter what it is about." -Junior, Eastern Kentucky University

Sorority recruitment is a great experience!
