transfer

Does it really matter?

I know of two girls. Any one else hear anything?

In the grand scheme of things, this really isn't a big deal. While it may seem like it at the moment, sorority life is nothing to write home about, if you get my drift. You cannot put girls together randomly and make them friends. There will always be cliques within cliques here. There are internal issues amongst personalities. Someone that you couldn't stand freshman year is now your "sister"--what is up with that??? Yeah, you can fake your friendships and make it look good, but ultimately that fails. Getting into a sorority has nothing to do with looks, sorry to those who believe otherwise. It has more to do with legacy and connections than anything else. Please don't believe that transferring is the answer, it isn't. Give it time, you will find there are a lot of girls that are really nice. Regardless of where you end up, believe in yourself. Promote kindness and be humble. There are definitely some pretty rough sisters, ignore them, they are in the minority!!

a bunch of gdi girls transfered from what i heard. its a lasting issue at bucknell and likely a reason for the administration cracking down on greek life and trying to make it a more inclusive environment. theres also not a lot to do on campus for nongreek upperclassmen or anyone in general. it is a difficult adjustment for nongreeks to assimilate back into the social scene when all their peers are in greek life. also a very exclusive environment which you cant disagree with

There are only a few that leave because of this situation. The strong survive, & most of us don’t even know who belongs to what. Personally I like some of my sisters, many I just tolerate & then there are some I just cannot even stand to be around. I agree, it’s a screwd up process.

What has the administration done ? Added a sorority? I think it would be in their best interest to keep students. Sororities have to take some of the blame too. Please don't start with GDI's should have accepted certain bids etc. No one is perfect, and the reason some were cut is surely petty. IT IS NOT okay that there isn't a place for everyone. Sure, some people don't get exactly what they want, but I think for the MOST part, people know where they feel comfortable or belong . Bucknell's loss on the transfers. I hope they are happy where they are.
