Glenn Chippendale chairs, herringbone floors, and gilt chandeliers: Step inside the secret world of Southern sorority houses, where having professional decorators is the new norm. Down South, Greek life has a long, celebrated history and the power to unite generations. Inside the beautifully decorated walls of Southern sororities are the daughters, granddaughters, and nieces of the members who came before them.
