pledge classes

theta, tri sigma, and sigma kappa did so well this year
wanna say they did better than dz and dphie overall
props

ZTA dz and Dphie best pledge classes. still. things don't change

with so many girls in each pledge class there are no bad or good classes anymore, most people in organizations' pledge classes this year were girls who had strong social connections to the organization. this makes sense because there were 400+ girls who went out and a lot of girls who would have been good for certain organizations unfortunately were cut early and slipped through the cracks. if the top sororities really are concerned with their rep, because it has now went down for most of the top tiers (some jacked up looking girls in some pledge classes just because of their friends) then next spring stop giving bids to girls you know and start going into rounds with an open mind, picking girls whose looks and personality in the moment of rounds seem to fit your organization.

The fact that greeks in so-called top organizations are the only members of the college population that still care about popularity and "tiers" (based on looks and how much you party) speaks volumes. Isn't it time that you all grew up?
I'll be the first to admit that my organization is not considered "cool" by anyone at TCNJ. But we're so happy with the lifelong friendships we've been able to make that none of us could care less about being on top.
Being concerned with how you rank on some non-existent scale stems from being insecure about what your organization has to offer. And honestly, that can't be fixed by recruiting hotter girls or hooking up with more guys in "top" frats.

I think a lot of great girls got cut bc of lack of social connections within the orgs. A lot of the so called "top tier" orgs take girls who know a lot of sisters. They have info sessions but if you go to all of them or show "too much interest" by trying to become friendly with the sisters to establish social connections you are deemed desperate and probably will be cut the first round from that org. This is sad that girls who really love a certain org or show a passion for their values or philanthropy are cut bc sisters think they are pathetic. I mean I can't speak for the sisters but I would see the girls that come to info sessions and try to get to know the sisters more as someone who wants to be a part of your org and would want to give them a bid or advance them to the next round to get to know them better. I mean I think the sisters need to remember how it felt when they realized that they really wanted a bid from their org and base their cuts off pnms that don't seem to be interested in their org rather than if they can advance you socially. It also seems very screwed up that if you drop and don't go to an org preference that you were invited too that org will still extend you a bid if you end up not being matched with an org. This says something about the org. Why would u want someone who didn't give you the time of day to attend your pref? The whole system is flawed. And while you may think I'm just bitter for not getting a bid, a lot of Greek women feel the same.
