<strong>Subject:</strong><br />why great women get cut<br /><br /> Poster Message:
If you don't get invited back to a sorority you thought you liked, don't take it personally. Recruitment is similar to college admissions, you may be completely qualified, but there are simply too many qualified people trying to get in. TBH, your odds for getting in an Ivy League college were probably better than for getting into a particular sorority (around 7%). And what you may not know is that some (but not all) sororities consist mainly of women from a certain high school, area, or college sports team/club. In other words, women from high school X tend to end up in sorority X, from city Y in sorority Y, and from team Z in sorority Z, because they have someone on the inside of the house who knows them and will stand up for them. If you don't know anyone in a house, don't despair. There are plenty of houses that don't feed on women from one high school, area, or team. Your odds of getting into one of the 13 houses at Cal are great! All the houses at Cal are strong and every house has all different types of women. Greek women are the leaders on campus. So if things don't go how you had hoped, don't give up and don't take it personally. It's a numbers game. It doesn't mean you're not pretty, skinny, or charming enough. All of you are super-brave for going through recruitment. Somehow it all works out in the end. Hang in there! You'll be so happy you did!
