Rejection during recruitment is actually awful. I did formal this past fall as a sophomore because I commuted from home and I couldn’t dedicate time my freshman year to a sorority and I only got into 2/12 houses for the second round and got released after that. There was no “maximizing your options” for me. They just didn’t want me. Then a month ago I did informal to try again because I really wanted to be a part of a sisterhood, not even because I was popular in high school and I thought I needed to be in one. I genuinely wanted to be part of something bigger then myself. I didn’t get a bid during informal either. It feels bad to know you’re not wanted
You shouldn’t need a material object to prove how much you love each other, and that’s basically what an engagement ring is. Of course I’d love to have a big beautiful diamond engagement ring, but if I didn’t get one, or it didn’t live up to traditional “standards,” that would be fine too. I’m just happy to be with my boyfriend.
I hope you marry someone with a whole lot of patience someday. I’d bet that most guys that read this wouldn’t want to propose to you because they wouldn’t want to deal with someone who hates something they poured out their feelings and wallets for and picked out especially for you.
Being fiscally responsible isn’t saving up to get a rock. It’s saving up for a life together. I’ve been with my boyfriend for 3 years and I honestly would rather him be saving up so that we can get a home together than him saving up to get something as shallow as a diamond. Sure, I like sparkly things, but does that mean I’m gonna refuse to marry him if he decides to put his money towards more important things? Of course not!
This is embarrassingly shallow. Love is more than an engagement ring. If you’re postponing getting engaged just because you want to see if he’ll get you a bigger rock, you’re getting married for the WRONG reason. And your taste is different from someone else’s. I personally hate the look of emerald cut rings. I think they look like tacky costume jewelry
Go Wisco except UW-M is Milwaukee. We’re just UW ❤️
The “top 1%” aren’t the ones wearing Aerie. The “normal” and “real” people are. What’s wrong with models who represent the people who wear the brand?

I’m pretty sure she doesn’t care if she’s losing followers who think it’s ok to expose genitalia to her. That’s gross and unacceptable
No it’s shitty when guys do it too
His wife slayed

*E cups for life (or until I get a reduction. It’s not always a blessing)
Ok but are you a UW student?
