what are the real sorority rankings here?

Wait, so Tri-Sigma and Delta Zeta are all very involved but Alpha Sigma isn't? That's a false statement. It's also extremely untrue that Alpha "doesn't have a lot of rules". We not only govern ourselves as a chapter but our alumni is very involved in our decision making. We have just as many, if not more, rules just like the other sororities on campus.

While being in a national sorority can be great if you want to travel a lot after college so you can have connections no matter where you go. However Alpha Sigma has chosen to stay local for a few reasons but mostly because we can tailor our sorority to what our chapter needs. We get to be apart of our own rule making process that helps our members become leaders. Also this past semester we had a higher chapter gpa compared to all sororities on campus. We also get the honor to know that we are apart of a tradition that is only for a select group of girls. If you happen to meet someone that was also an Alpha Sigma you have this special bond because there is nobody like us and we have done the same traditions in Alpha and at UW-Whitewater. Also some, not all, of the people who go to school in the Wisconsin area are most likely going to continue to live in the area. So the fact that national sororities have a national network isn't really an advantage when you mostly stay in one place. We also have strong connections with our alumni association.

You are obviouly misinformed about other sororities values. Local sororities are just as good as national sororities. We have just as strong of a sisterhood as any other sorority so I feel that people shouldn't look down on us because we are not national. The only thing that national sororities have over a local sorority is the fact that they have sisters everywhere. We have similar support financially and morally, we have strong values that are very important to us, and we have a rich history deeply rooted here at UW-Whitewater.

You do realize that the local sorority you're running down is OLDER than the national sororities on campus right? Like it was founded before the national sororities were founded anywhere? That doesn't happen if all you care about is boys and drinking. Throwing around stupid buzzwords like "values based" just makes you sound defensive and like the only way your sorority can compete is by criticizing others.

Oh and if you really think you're going to bond and be bffs with every sister you meet from halfway around the country just because you're in the same sorority, you're super naive. There are some sisters you'll meet who you would never want to spend 5 minutes with and vice versa.

First, that Bid Day motif has been in use all over the country by both Local and National sororities for at least six years. I've seen pictures. ALL sororities use similar/the same Bid Day motif ideas, look around.

Both videos mentioned above had Bid Days within three days (September 13 and 16) of one another. Bid Day planning takes shape MONTHS before Bid Day occurs, thereby both orgs simultaneously chose their identical motif without the other knowing.

Its strictly coincidence they have similar names, and Whitewater's Alpha Sigma was founded in 1898 compared with Alpha Sigma Alpha's founding in 1901.

Other orgs around the country WITH AND WITHOUT Bid Day Videos used the exact motif for THEIR Bid Days this Fall, too. A good idea gets around!

BTW that video from another campus was Gamma Omega chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha at Eastern ILLINOIS University, and their chants are similar but not the same.
