<strong>Subject:</strong><br />big 6 tradition<br /><br /> Poster Message:
Let me state clearly...I am NOT in a Big 6 sorority. However, here is my point. Big 6 will always be Big Six. That is their name, their grouping. It is a historic name bestowed upon them in a Texas Monthly article in the 70's by Prudence Mackintosh. She was, I believe a Kappa, and was describing her rush experience. I actually googled and read the article out of curiousity. There can never be a "shake up" in that group because they are exactly that. Now, this does not mean that another sorority is incapable of having a better recruitment than the lower level of Big Six. It happens sometimes. But Big Six is what is is. A tradition. Now some girls are horrified at the prospect of anything "less" than Big 6. Some girls, and this is the hard for traditionalists to understand, are interested in other sororities and don't really care. It's true. Not everyone is devastated if they are in another sorority. Currently, I would say Alpha Phi and AXO run closely with Big 6, but it's more of a parallel thing than an equal thing. The sororities that compete with Big 6 can change, but those are the two most current ones. I have no dog in this fight and this is my unbiased opinion, but what I have observed and found to be true. And I am in NONE of the sororities mentioned
