YOU ARE SO RIGHT!! Every sorority has a lot more in common with the other ones on campus than they do differences. We make it so competitive but really it just makes everyone look bad when there’s nothing but hate coming out of our mouths. Rather than bring each other down, just focus on the good things about your sisterhood and don’t worry about the haters and the critics. Don’t be on their ugly level.
You’re right! Step 1 to eliminating the “sorority girl” stereotype should be taking down this website and making a new one that shows the true colors of most greek women. One that does not include all the girly, gold-digging, airhead bullcrap, and instead talks about the real contributions that sororities make to their schools, their communities, and the world.
Props to you girl! This website needs more articles like this. Real stories that matter, not just fluffy girly bs. If one of my sisters was bisexual or lesbian I would want her to feel comfortable telling us. Hopefully lots of girls will read your words and have the courage to come out if they want to, and her sisters will greet her with kindness and respect.
You said it well! It is really sad how sexist and judgemental our society has become. Both men and women need to stop holding themselves and each other up to impossible standards. Be body positive!
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!
I joined my chapter through informal recruitment. For me, it was an easy few hours over two nights where I got to talk with members without any time limits or stress. At the end of it, I just ranked each house by my liking, and I got in to my first choice. That was my first impression of recruitment.
When I got to do fall formal recruitment as an active member the next year, I was horrified at how stressful and judgemental it was. I had no idea that there were so many tears on both sides. It is so much more difficult than it needs to be. I wish that it could be more like the informal recruitment that I went though. It would be a lot easier on the PNMs and the active members. Sure, it might take a week instead of a weekend, but I think there would be a lot less heartbreak if the girls really got to know each other over a longer period of time.
