<p>So I've heard a little bit about the non-Greek/pseudo-Greek societies at Penn (Owl?) etc. And I can't really find any information on them. Can someone shed light on 1) what the prominent societies are and 2) the dynamic between fraternaties and these societies.</p>
<p>The pseudo-Greek groups on campus, Owls, Theos, and Oz are remnants of fraternities that were kicked off campus at one point. They are not university sanctioned groups so campus organizations aren’t allowed to interact with them. The equivalent for girls in the Tabard Society.</p>
<p>I doubt a secret society would post online…that would kind of ruin the secret. And if they told you, wouldn’t that also spoil the secret?</p>
<p>So how do we join these societies? Are there any “hidden” benefits?</p>
<p>They are not really “secret-societies”, OWLS, OZ, Theos, and Tabard are just unofficial pseudo-Greek organizations. I know very few people in them, they are said to be pretty wealthy and have a lot of internationals. Also the hazing is rumored to be pretty bad. The girls in Tabard all have to carry around lunch boxes on campus which people try to steal, not sure what’s in them. I guess you would want to join them if you like the people in the group but there are no “hidden benefits” as these are not officially sanctioned groups.</p>
