harsh reality of life

by:    

Not everyone gets what they want. If you are disappointed because you didn’t get a bid to sorority 1-6, too bad. There are two sororities with amazing girls that would love to have you. If you are as astounding as you say, then use those attributes to make 7 & 8 the top sororities here. It can be done. It happens all the time. Life isn’t fair and YOU chose to go to SMU and rush. Stop whining about Panhellenic and either transfer or join one of the amazing sororities that are participating in cob. Your constant posts are rude and offensive to the wonderful girls who chose to make the best of rush.

Yes, I’ll be transferring. Thanks for the pep talk.

Your maturity is amazing!

"I transferred universities because I did not get my first choice in sororities" is going to go over so well in job interviews and grad school applications.

My guess is your grades are not that great, either.

Yep, nothing says "character" like running away like an immature spoiled brat.

Oh, and your hopes of being PKT at another school and transferring back to SMU? ZERO.

My younger sister is at USV.
I looked at their postings, and looks like your are trolling there. If you are thinking of USC, things are probably not going to work out.

First: Compare the admission standards v. SMU. Much harder, including as a transfer.
Recruitment: Upperclassmen don't do well at SC in recruitment. Plus, you probably have no Southern Cal connections.

USC has a 16% acceptance rate. What makes you so sure you'll get in, much less get a bid to a house there?

Isn’t it amazing how easily an SMU sorority can cut a pnm with a smile because the sorority didn’t feel the connection, etc.? But when a pnm feels the same way about a sorority, the pnm is being ridiculous. Get a reality check please.

The sororities invite women to join, they don't put out a sign up sheet. They do the choosing. So do cheer, pom squad, sports teams, employers, graduate schools, private clubs, and lots of other groups. You don't just get to say "I want that one" and get your pick. If you are too dumb and/or entitled to understand that concept then you're failing at life.

And girls also make their own decisions on what groups they choose to join and not because someone forced them to, or else.

We are allowed to be frustrated. We are allowed to cry that the process isn’t right, when we go through formal recruitment, and many girls feel forced into a sorority that we would end up paying for, but receiving fewer social opportunities and more social stigma at SMU. We’re allowed to care about what fraternities we mix with. We’re allowed to care that for more girls to get in top sororities, sorority 8 needs to start reaching quota (which hasn’t happened in years) and we’re allowed to be frustrated about that, because as harsh as it sounds, sorority alumnae status in Dallas, frat relations in college, and social status do matter to us, and we don’t get that with certain sororities on campus.

Yes, you can be frustrated but don’t insult the sororities you didn’t want. It makes you look like an ungrateful brat who didn’t get her way. Nothing is guaranteed here or anywhere else.

I'm completely dumbfounded that any college age girl would feel like there were fewer social opportunities in any sorority than she would have as an independent. Second, I can't figure out how in the world some parents let their little chickees grow up to feel so entitled that they would belittle the only sororities that wanted them. Are they totally unaware of the irony? Perhaps the mom writing this crap doesn't know that the alumna chapters in Dallas have women from all over the country, including places where the sororities she's too good for are the #1 sorority on campus. Also, are there seriously people who, in the 21st century, are so small that they would feel "less than" because they weren't in the "popular" alumna group? My grandmother would tell you to stand up straight, that you were as good as anybody else. It's laughable in this day and age that you think anyone under the age of 45 believes this crap.

Just curious how you expect #8 to reach quota when PNMs like yourself think you are too good and would rather drop than GOD FORBID go to a house you feel is beneath you? Get over yourself... every woman in that house is a better person than you.

So it’s insulting to decline a bid but not insulting to be cut? Think what you’re saying. Rush is a two way street. There’s nothing wrong with any sorority at SMU, I agree. Don’t get me wrong. But just because a certain sorority offers a bid doesn’t mean a pnm has to accept it or the pnm is labeled as insulting. Every pnm is unique just like every sorority. And if a pnm doesn’t feel a connection to a sorority why should she be labeled as insulting to decline a bid?

Funny that I have never heard a PNM say they dropped because they “didn’t feel a connection”’ when she was left with what are considered “top” houses. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Actually, SMU is known for social status only, and not for its academics. Seems like students should already know this before coming here, especially if you're from Texas. SMU is not respected AT ALL as an academically challenging school compared to UT, TAMU, TCU, and even Texas Tech. Baylor is also an expensive private school, but not nearly as much emphasis is placed on social status/sororities there.

Oh, I wouldn’t be transferring back to SMU, honey. My parents aren’t paying $75,000 a year for GPB, or even AXO. And my grades are Quite excellent, and so is my legacy status. SMU rush is just a mess. I’m not even staying in Texas. Good luck.
