sorority life at iowa

awkward moment when this chick proably didnt even get a bid from DZ. swing and a miss better luck next year

I find this really offensive because I have found genuine friends in my house, and I know for an absolute fact that I wouldn't have made it through my first year here at Iowa without them. They were such a positive support system for me, and I love them all. Actually, I feel so sorry for you, because you apparently didn't have a similar experience.. That sucks. But don't come on here and knock on a fantastic community that has changed a lot of lives for the better.

Any incoming freshman looking on this site for recruitment advice, please do not take this or other negative comments into consideration. Try recruitment for yourself even if you're not sure greek life is for you, because that's what I did and now I have friends that really will last me a lifetime, cheesy or not.

Im in a sorority on campus and have friends both in my chapter, other chapters, and ones not in sororites.

I have no idea what this person is so bitter about, but sororities at Iowa are a GREAT place to make friends. Yes, every chapter has dues, but you're paying to be part of a community and be connected to all the previous sorority women before you, and all the ones to come. You are paying for COUNTLESS opportunities that you will hear about such as internships and student leadership opportunities that many "GDI's" never get to hear about. It's not friendship you're paying for, that just happens to be an additional benefit. Of course not everyone in a house is going to get along. When is the last time someone put 140 women together and had perfect harmony? That's just unheard of, but if you join a sorority I can guarantee you will make friends that will last a lifetime. Sure, there's occasional drama, but doesn't that happen outside the greek community too? We're all only human.
