Comment:  Ignore the rumors and gossip, including bad rankings on this site (they're fake btw). I'll let you in on a little secret... Every sorority has a similar experience: 1. they all have sisters who hang out with fraternities and go to parties and sisters who don’t; 2. they all have philanthropy events; 3. they all have sisterhood events. If you want to find your dream sorority, you have to keep an open mind, and leave the junior high/high school hierarchy mentality where it belongs. You never know which sorority you will really connect with! You do NOT want to go into recruitment with only wanting to join one sorority or one "type" of sorority. When you have one sorority on your mind, you are comparing every other sorority to it. Most likely, you start to write off the other sororities and limit your options. You will hear gossip and read bad reviews. If you believe these things, you are basically writing a burn book for recruitment. You will start to sabotage the experience.You will be nitpicking and convincing yourself it is not going to work. You will definitely not be making connections and you will be wasting your time because you are limiting your chances. When you give in to the gossip, you are limiting all of your chances.This mindset of being too good or not good enough is a junior high/high school hierarchy mindset. Guess what... college is different. College is your chance to grow into the person you want to be. You need to find a sorority that supports you. You want to make lasting friendships with your sisters.
