pnms ignore the pressure to just take anything!
by: FrustratedI went through rush this year hoping to get in one of the top sororities. All this bs about 'there are no tops', every one at UT is good'...is bull. It's Greeks themselves who get on here and rank and it happens in 'real life' too. Some are not good. Anyone can tell you which ones aren't or are mediocre, in which case, save your time and $$. Don't be so desparate to make friends that you spend thousands to be in just any group! It is ok to drop if you get dropped! Why should it be a one way street? On here girls make it sound if you don't get in one of your choices, that you should just take anything just to be Greek. I had 3 I wanted going in. I was top ten gpa at a big school with a great social and service resume too and considered attractive. I got dropped (and was told this even though everything is supposed to be a big secret) because i was a legacy and others thought i just 'had' to be in one my mom pledged 30 years ago for some reason. I wanted to drop, but didn't because it's a big school and i wanted a friend group so i pledged a mediocre one. It was totally not worth it to spend so many hours and so much money to be in an organization just to belong at a huge school where there are other free oppotunities for friends. It works out for some girls, and some act like it does to save face, which is honestly what i do. If i had it to do over again I would have dropped after my top choices dropped me. It doesn't mean you are a terrible person, just realistic.

this post makes me so angry. You are so narrow minded that you think you didn't make friends because you were in a bottom sorority but the problem was you went into it with a the wrong attitude to start with. You clearly thought you were better than that and that's why you dropped. Even if you were in a top house that doesn't mean you would have fit in there, and obviously they dropped you because they believed that too. Sorority life isn't for everyone but don't go around blaming it on house you pledged, because in the end it was all you. So arrogant. PNMs should ignore this. Stay open minded and don't go in with a preconceived top three because chances are you will be disappointed. You end up where you belong so trust the process.

Reality is if you get a sorority you want, be Greek, if not, don't feel pressured to.

completely agree, I joined a sorority that I felt I didnt belong in because of the huge lie that is "you end up where you belong" and I can honestly say it was the worst decision of my life. I went in with an open mind and positive attitude but at the end of the day, trust your gut, you're paying thousands upon thousands for this. That's too much to even just feel like you settled and then have that proven by the lack of connection with the girls in the house. And more often than not, I've seen girls who didn't get houses they liked drop.
I still do not understand how guys get to choose where to rush but girls do not. Just shows society still doesn't respect women the same as men

Hate to break it to you all, but being in a sorority at UT just isn't that big of a deal. This is not the University of Alabama. It was fun my freshman year, got on my nerves my sophomore year, and I dropped my junior year. And yes, I was in a top house. Join if you want to, but don't feel pressured to do anything you are not sure of. There are a ton of organizations at UT to join, meet people, and make friends.

You sound very judgy and narrow minded yourself. All the post said was not to feel pressured into bidding a sorority you don't want, just to be Greek. I did get i into one of the top ones, and yes pnms there are top ones no matter what the girls here say! Plus the ones who judge others for daring to want a good one, saying 'they are all great at UT', just didn't get into a top one obviously. Anyhow I did get top, and would definately have dropped if i hadn't.
