my experience in dg....

Here's my opinion: When I went to UM went DG. Looking back, I personally regret it. I'm going to be honest. The reason I pledged was because I felt "cool" that I was picked (kind of like "oh the popular girls from high school are accepting me"). I did it for social status. I never felt a real sisterhood, there was a TON of backstabbing (oh, the stories I have!) and was primarily based on looks. If I had to do it over again I would have gone somewhere else. Though other sororities may not be the "hottest" sorority, I always felt others had better sisterhood, were super nice, yet still respected. Now that I have life experience, the superficial stuff doesn't matter in the long run. I felt like I wasted a lot of time and probably missed out on a lot of solid friendships and good people. I don't know if things have changed since then, but I URGE you to go with the sorority you feel the connection with...not the one you think is "Cool". You only have 4 years of college before the real world. These are some of the last best years of your life. Live for that.
