white lie

I feel like it probably doesn't have to do with HS gpa because no one really cares about that. Probably something to do with an internship or legacy stuff or maybe even money? Who knows. Either way OP this is kind of a tough spot for you because depending on what it is you could get in trouble. That said, unless it was legacy stuff (which honestly you should fess up about because lying about that is something they will probably need proof of at some point for rituals and chapter info) it most likely didn't guarantee your bid? Idk unless you put the address of some big ass mansion that you don't live in down as your home address, who knows. Telling someone that works with new members might give you some peace of mind and probably won't get you in trouble.

agreed, but I just want to add for future reference don’t lie if you can avoid it. No you will be forever doubting your sisterhood over something probably minor. If it wasnt minor, you took a big risk to get an inauthentic bid and therefore inauthentic sisterhood. In my opinion, being truthful and getting cut by every house is better than lying and getting into a good one because now even if you made a really small lie you will be paranoid

I just want to add for everyone that gets a spot someoneelse didnt. If you lied about legacy info then you probably took a spot away from someone they really liked and who liked them. Legacies are usually guaranteed automatic bids— especially if they make it to pref round. I’ve only heard of one legacy ever getting cut from top houses, but I’ve heard of plenty of girls who wouldn’t otherwise get in because of the connection. Even if it wasn’t legacy info, say you lied about being involved in their philanthropy, you getting in happened at the expense of someone who was probably honest. This isn’t to make you feel bad, honestly I get why people lie. This process is so competitive and oftentimes it feels like if you aren’t connected or a legacy, you’re grasping in the dark. That said, just know that your actions had consequences and there is probably some dissapointed person out there who might have gotten your spot. Do the right thing. Tell someone you trust in a leadership position at the sorority. They probably won’t kick you out because that would reflect poorly on them for believing your lie. Also, they might even tell you that your lie had no bearring on your bid. Either way, this will nag at you until you do. Everyone on greekrank already knows and people will assume the worst if you don’t get ahead of it.

Lol in terms of getting in trouble, you’re fine. There is no rule about not being able to borrow or rent things, and I know plenty of people who openly do that. Summer plans also change so just be lowkey about it and say things fell through. Idk what lies about your background you told but if its not anything tangible with a paper trail, again you’re fine. People’s opinions of you may change just like friends would likely feel betrayed if you were living a lie, but you shouldn’t be nervous about getting in trouble

Isn’t it exhausting to lie and be someone you aren’t?? Welcome to the first part of the rest of your life trying to measure up and judge every little thing about yourself and everyone else. Have fun being someone you’re not. You belong where you are.

Look this sounds pretty minor, but just a life tip: don't add fake details to your resume. It's way more serious than the activities section of your panhel recruitment form. That fake Goldman internship or cure for cancer may make or break your "sisterhood", but can get you fired or blacklisted from a company. You may think that you won't do this again and that you only did it because sorority recruitment was so important. Spoiler alert, it's not, especially if you're a legacy. But I'm here to tell you that opportunities will come up in your future that will feel way more important than rush. Tell your new member educator, they probably won't report you (especially if you're a legacy, they were probably going to give you a bid anyway) and will tell you too that it's minor. Try to think through why you did this and think of an action plan for addressing feelings of insecurity in the future.
