<strong>Subject:</strong><br />The issue with sisterhood at UVA<br /><br /> Poster Message:
I do not quite understand the purpose of joining a sorority at UVA. With pledge classes of well over 40, it seems hard to know all of your pledge sisters well. Similarly, it seems to be impossible to know everyone in your sorority. You could have class with someone in your sorority and have no idea. New sorority members get laptop stickers, windbreakers, and waterbottles with their letters, but what do these letters mean when sisterhood is split between 100+ members? It seems ironic for sisters to adamantly claim their sorority is the best, when in reality, their sorority is a loosely-associated group of women united under Greek letters. What is the advantage of joining a sorority when your circle within the sorority is extremely limited in number. The size of UVA sororities appears to be a detriment to a tight-knit sisterhood. I would criticize fraternities for similar reasons, but fraternities are generally tighter for several reasons. They are smaller in size, meaning pledge classes are closer, as well as the fraternity in general. "Time before initiation" also serves to bring pledge classes together.
