I know how long the “bottom sororities” have been on campus, but it’s clear that this does lead to major disparities. I really do feel for GPHI and AOPI, but it’s the truth. Until you have houses, you’ll keep having meetings in random places like Lerner and will never be able to achieve as strong of a sense of sisterhood. You’ll never mix with any of the decently ranked frats either. It absolutely sucks, and I’m not trying to sound like a social climber, I’m just acknowledging that there are inherent disparities that will be extremely difficult for any of those two sororities to overcome by the time any new members graduate. Also, in regard to discrimination etc...can we think back to why tons of AOPI members dropped a few years back? So your reasoning is that these higher dues cover people not being fined...what if someone is actually committed, shows up all the time, and never would be fined? Seems illogical to me. Sure, there are formals etc included...what if someone were to not even go to these since they aren’t required? Also, merch is nice, but it’s technically not required either (maybe for a few events, but this doesn’t make up for hundreds of dollars). In my opinion, it seems like people are paying more to build up these chapters than they are to cover these “hidden fees,” as you’re trying to say,” since none of these things are technically required (though I’ll acknowledge most will partake). Why should someone have to pay more in advance to cover the cost of a formal they could skip? I think the girls going through rush deserve the truth, which is why I’m posting this. All the best to these sororities, but I really wish you wouldn’t manipulate your image this much and perpetuate lies.
