be yourself, pnms!
by: lamiIt doesn't matter who you are or where you're from when you go through recruitment, please be yourself. Everybody will tell you to do this, but I didn't listen. I wanted to get in a top tier house and I played a part that wasn't myself so I could get a bid. I did and I played the part my entire freshman year. It was exhausting! I'm not the extrovert I pretended to be, I hate swaps, and I can't stand to watch The Bachelor/Bachelorette shows. I really screwed up and it is all because I wan't honest with myself about what I wanted in a sorority and now I'm either stuck or disaffiliate. I can honestly say that being part of a top tier house has not benefited me as an individual at all. Please don't make the same mistake I did, pnms. Be honest with yourself, don't pay attention to tiers, and go with your heart when you make your decision.

The TOP house for YOU is the only one you need to worry about finding. Period. Find your people where you will be happy and belong. Do not worry about securing some kind of social status or campus reputation from your sorority membership. No one here looks down on, or admires, anyone for the letters she wears. This is college, not high school. Whatever house you join, YOU will determine how everyone thinks about you. Sweet, fun, kind, loyal, smart, attractive and put together? Top tier baby! Everyone will admire you and want to ask you to things and be with you. Mean, arrogant, vain, back-stabbing, stupid, selfish and rude? Bottom tier all the way. No one will be able to stand you, and good luck finding real friendships, study buddies, or nice boys. Your sorority letters are incidental.

UT doesn’t have actual tiers like schools like Georgia and Alabama do with old row and new row. The only people who try and act like they’re in a sorority because it’s “top tier” not just genuinely who they get along with are girls who are legacies or have some other kind of connection that got them a bid they wouldn’t have had otherwise

Are you bipolar or suffering from disassociative identity disorder? I ask because the first part of your post makes perfect sense in that it is important to find the right house for you.
Then, starting from "Sweet, fun, kind," you go on a bender that negates everything you said in the first part of your post!
Are you trying to say that every girl in KKG and Pi Phi is "Mean, arrogant, vain, back-stabbing, stupid, selfish and rude?" Are you implying that the OP is "mean and arrogant" because she may have fit in better with another house and is showing some humility by regretting not being true to herself? She didn't say she was pretending to be "sweet, fun, and kind"; she said she pretended to be more outgoing when I assume she is actually more introverted than her sorority sisters. Does that make her "mean, arrogant, vain, back-stabbing, stupid, selfish and rude?" NO!
True, you have singlehandedly insulted every girl in KKG, Pi Phi, and a few others by accusing them of being "mean, arrogant, vain, back-stabbing, stupid, selfish and rude," my fiancee being one of them. She is a kind and beautiful woman whom I love very much and she and her sisters don't deserve to be lumped into your judgement of them when you probably haven't taken the time to get to know them.
To "Lami," I'm sorry I hijacked your thread like this, but try to find some joy in the path you've chosen. I'm sure there are some positives within your group.
As for "True," perhaps you are the one who is "mean, arrogant, vain, back-stabbing, stupid, selfish and rude." It sure sounds like it to me.
