A lot of people are taking the original message way out of context. No one is bashing Greek life but instead the process used to pick members in certain houses. I went through recruitment and loved talking to all the girls which made me so excited to be a part of such an amazing community. However, as I got my schedule back I continued to be dropped by houses that I felt a genuine connection to and was only invited back to houses that I didn’t feel comfortable in. Nothing was wrong with those houses, I just didn’t have much in common with the girls. Yes each chapter knows their house but I also know who I am as a person. I am a sophomore now so I felt really confident going into this and didn’t expect not to end up in a house. I really loved the process of meeting new people but I’m left feeling helpless at the fact that I wasn’t able to find my home and might not ever be able to. I have a 3.5, am well-rounded, and consider myself pretty (not to sound superficial but let’s be real, this matters to some houses). I put myself out there with an open mind and open heart and am left wondering what went wrong. I had a conversation with a girl that said I gave her chills and was cut the next round which shows the process is flawed in some aspects. In my opinion it needs to be less of a “numbers” game and more focused on the PNMs. The system has been the same for years and has worked for many people but I think it’s important to consider those it didn’t work for and make the effort to fix it in order to make sure as many people as possible have a good experience. Although, I wasn’t successful I am happy I went through the experience because it has helped me in more ways than one; I just wish it would have worked out for me and other girls who were open to the process. I am still optimistic and would like to be a part of Greek life but I feel as though I am left with no options since I am a sophomore. If there is any advice you could give it would be greatly appreciated. I hope I didn’t offend anyone and if I did it wasn’t my intention. I’m happy for the girls that felt the process worked and in no way am I trying to invalidate their experience. My intentions were to give insight into my experience in hopes others can relate. Side note: Bashing the girls who didn’t have a good experience and are sharing their opinion isn’t going to solve anything. If anything it reflects badly on the community by saying that someone isn’t “good enough” for a house. Stop spreading negativity and instead give those who need guidance some advice.
