The truth is, the sorority system is imperfect. But guess what? So are all the women who are part of it, and that's ok. Something I find very telling but I haven't seen mentioned on here is the fact that by senior year, almost all chapters have less than half of the girls from that original pledge class remaining by the 4th year. Several reasons: money, time management problems, & disliking being told what they can/can't post etc. My point is this: find the chapter that you will be willing to be a part of for four years. Sure, its nice to be known as an "abc" and mix with a "top" frat, but considering how fast frats are getting kicked off or suspended around here, socials are going to become a lot harder to come by. Honestly, I hate how sometimes I see someone in class and they aren't wearing their letters, then I one day notice what chapter they are in and I'm like wow, didn't picture her in that sorority. That kind of thinking is really damaging to allowing chapters to succeed and really recruit girls who could feel comfortable there. We automatically assign labels to letters and allow that to distort our views. Rush is a very superficial process that depends a lot on who puts a better show on. There really isn't a better method for it, but its also why by the end of college sororities have few seniors left; they outgrew the labels and mindset they had as freshmen. Focus on your studies and let your sorority enhance, but not define, your time at UT.
