This is so on point. Then after asking how long you’ve been a vegetarian, they’ll ask why. Please don’t make me go through my whole life history, it’s so much more than just ‘save the animals’.
YES GIRL PREACH IT. I always pictured myself going into a “top tier” chapter. I went out of state for college, and all I could think about going through recruitment is how much the girls ‘back home’ would judge me for being in a bottom tier sorority. The fuck??? We’re not top house on campus. Hell, we’re not even top of the bottom tier. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten “Oh, you’re in XYZ? You don’t fit their stereotype.” What, because I’m intelligent? I wear some make up? I work out? You do realize that NO ONE in my chapter fits that stereotype, right? Yeah, maybe we’re a little quirky. So what? I can be myself here. This chapter has given me opportunities to change and challenge myself as a leader. When I go to interview for jobs, who cares if we were top? I can go in and say yeah. We were bottom of the pack. But guess what? My sophomore year we met quota. My junior year we went above quota on Bid Day. And every. single. girl. preferred our chapter because they wanted something REAL. They didn’t want a cookie cutter house. They wanted a group that would include and accept them for who they are. Tier system my ass.
