"bottom" tier issue

by: PNM August 13, 2016 11:14:40 PM

So I'm really trying to go through recruitment with an open mind, but I can't help but be somewhat concerned to go to a "bottom" tier sorority. I don't think they aren't worthy or are bad or anything, but I'm honestly just worried about how the rest of campus will perceive me and my sorority because as hard as I try that kind of thing bothers me. Do people look down on "bottom" sororities in real life? I don't want to be closed minded in thinking I don't want to go to one, but I would feel uncomfortable walking around campus in letters that would looked down upon (even if they shouldn't be). What is it actually like? And please don't take this the wrong way, I mean no hate toward the sororities thought to be bottom tier, I am just curious as to what it's like.

I am in an upper mid sorority and I don't think I would be completely honest if I said that letters do not matter at all. They may not matter to some people, but to others, they matter a lot. When I first joined my house, I was upset bc my first choice was a top tier. I let small things bother me like instances where top tier girls made me feel inferior. So much so that I came to the conclusion that I could either a) let this interfere with my life and not enjoy the sorority I was paying all this money to be in or b) say "f" it I am happy where I am and don't care what others have to say or feel towards me bc I have awesome sisters and wouldn't trade them for ANY other house. Once I came to that realization I opened up and blossomed in my house and wouldn't trade the friends I have made for anything. This realization may not happen right away and you may be upset on bid day or even a couple months afterwards but trust me, if you give the house a chance, the feeling will subside and you won't care what others think of you or your letters.
