Comment:  These girls take pride in having good GPA’s (which is great!). What’s not great is how snobby they are about gpa. They truly believe that in order to have a high gpa, you must join their sorority. I’ve never understood their saying “envy the ivy”.... why would you encourage people to envy you? They are not understanding of personal issues (financial and emotional) that may effect one’s ability to have a high gpa or afford the sorority. If you are not society’s definition of pretty (blonde, tan, skinny), you most likely will not be accepted into this sorority. They also participate in dirty bidding (they say things during recruitment that make you believe you will see them again, and then they don’t give you a bid). Most of these girls do not associate themselves with anyone outside of Greek life, and even then, they don’t hang out with other sororities. I thought the point of a sorority was to build each other up (empower women right?), but these girls only care about empowering each other within their sorority. They are very judgmental and competitive with the other sororities on campus. I have never met a group of girls so fake (some aren’t, most are though). They are so nice during recruitment season, however when it’s not recruitment season, they won’t acknowledge you in public. Like you could see them at a bar, say hi and they will act like they don’t know you. I have multiple friends who have received bids from aphi and dropped before being initiated because the girls are completely different outside of recruitment time. Even within their own sorority, they are mean. These women do not empower each other one bit, all they do is tear people down... and you get all of those things for about $2000 every year (sounds like a great investment, right?!) They are truly the mean, preppy, snobby girls you hated in high school.
