good advice

by: thank you!

If you're on here, chances are that you've seen something very unflattering said about the houses you have left. Maybe you think you'd better drop out and try again next year. Maybe you think accepting a bid from one of the houses you have left is social suicide.

I was where you are a year ago. The only house I had at this point is one that is always near the bottom. I felt like I wanted to drop out. My friend encouraged me to go on and take the bid that was offered knowing I could still drop later if needed.

I'm here to say that was the best advice I've ever been given. It was hard at first. I'm embarrassed to say that I honestly thought I was better than the girls in the house. It took a couple of months before I realized that they were actually amazing girls. I have found such unconditional love that I can't even express how happy I am.

Please don't drop out because you think you'll get a better bid next year. This is your best shot and you need to decide either to have a sisterhood or be independent.

My heartfelt advice is to stick with it and put in the time needed to find the amazing women in the house that wants you. If they invited you back, they want you. I hope you will want them back!

on this site! It is so true and just wish some of the mom's would quit leading their daughters to believe that if they don't get xyz they are tarnished or their friends are. Auburn has amazing girls and no one is better than the other!

Please heed this advice. I believe all of Auburn's sororities are great and offer so much more than being an independent student.....not that it is bad to be independent. A sorority---all sororities---can make your time at Auburn so much better.

There are amazing girls in all of Auburn's sororities. Only insecure snobs care about so-called social ranking, and who wants to deal with that drama? Also, sororities are changing with every new pledge class, so a group that is "hot" this year might not be next year. Any PNM blessed with a bid, should strongly consider that gift of sisterhood.

As a mom (and I know you don't like us on here ...) of a PNM, I can say this is so refreshing to read. And, it's the same advice I've been giving my daughter all week. Trust in the process, go where you are wanted, and let God direct you to the sisterhood you're meant to be a part of. The end.
