Greek Letter Organizations United
Because sometimes the strongest leaders are carrying the heaviest loads behind the calmest faces.
Leadership Conversations Missing in Sororities and Fraternities
The Silent Letters Podcast
A storytelling podcast that shares the unspoken struggles of leadership in sororities and fraternities, those heavy, complex, and emotional layers that sometimes make it to convention, into group chats, or chapter meetings… and whispers turn into gossip.
The truth is, leadership isn’t always noble speeches and a polished presence. There's a weight of responsibility carried behind closed doors that is often silent.
Through raw stories and reflective truths, this podcast offers more than just validation to leaders, visionaries, and changemakers in Greek life organizations. It offers understanding. It offers peace. And sometimes, it offers the kind of solution that comes NOT from advice, leadership workshops, or resource hubs but from knowing YOU'RE NOT ALONE in your leadership role.
For members listening, these stories offer a glimpse into the emotional and mental weight that some leaders carry in silence. With that insight comes an invitation, not to excuse every decision, but to understand and, when possible, to give grace. Because sometimes, the strongest leaders are carrying the heaviest loads behind the calmest faces.
These stories are real. Names have been changed based on the nature of each submission.

A Delta Sigma Theta chapter leader’s story, there’s no real manual for what to do when your chapter group chat blows up over a viral video of non-D9 orgs doing your calls, strolling, mimicking your steps, or throwing on colors that look a little too familiar. This isn’t a conversation about gatekeeping. It’s about responsibility and what it feels like to carry that weight as a leader when the culture you love starts trending for the wrong reasons.
