happy where I am

Can the ranking drama please stop? I am a PNM that pledged a sorority this year and I’m beyond happy where I am no matter where it falls on the beloved or despired tier chart, however you look at it. As much as I wish the rankings would go away I know that is not realistic. People always judge and label: right, wrong, or whatever. Some PNMs, moms of PNMs or Alumni will always worry about which houses are so called top houses and which are not. Does it really matter? I honestly think all of the houses here at OSU have great things going for them and all have some negatives if you are really honest. We are all human and none of us are perfect. During recruitment I visited all 13 houses on campus. I really tried to keep an open mind and give each house a fair chance. I did not pay attention to this site and I didn't let my family or girls in my group sway me based on what others were saying and doing. I will say that’s the best thing I’ve ever done. I had friends in my group going for "top" houses that ended up with very few invites through the week and some dropped altogether and some were very disappointed on bid day. Some did not accept their bids and I've even heard people left school bc it was so stressful. I can confidently say that each house is amazing in their own way. I talked to some very sweet kind and confident girls each day who represented their house extremely well, others not as much but the following day my girl was great. Not everyone will click with everyone and that is okay. I can honestly say I was not invited back to a few houses and I can also say I cut some "top" houses because I didn't feel like they were a good fit for me, but they were still nice girls, nonetheless. Please guys, let's build up our Greek community and make it the best it's ever been and don’t get caught up in bashing. Embrace the home where you are--it may end up being the best thing you've ever done. If it's not, you can make that decision in the next few weeks. Your house loved you and they see something in you that they liked and that may add to their sisterhood and they may help you grow, too. Get to know your sisters and be involved with them as much as you can. Hang out with other sorority girls, too and build bonds between houses. Please stop with the hate. Spread some positivity around campus that every house and everyone in those houses are good. Even though the ranks may or may not change, it doesn’t make someone’s house any better or worse than the others. Every house has their strengths and weaknesses, every house has kind girls and mean girls, model pretty girls and more normal looking girls (most of us), brilliant girls and those that struggle to make grades, but if we come together as one we can all help each other out. The hate before, during, and especially after recruitment has been extremely disgusting and is making our community look horrible. I’m not sure why some on GR are so content with spreading hate but you should really reevaluate your values. I'm pretty sure they will not align with your house's values or Panhellenic's for that matter. From now on, when you think of a certain house and choose to talk about them, try to say something nice because there’s not a single house on campus that someone should be ashamed of. Rant over!
