Here’s the thing (I need advice)
by: AnonymousI’ve rlly been thinking about joining a sorority because I struggle to make female friends but not for the reasons you might think. I was bullied a lot in high school by this group of popular girls. They honestly made my life hell and I’m not trying to be dramatic but I’m still kind of traumatized from it even though I graduated 2 years ago. I won’t get into the details but they spread awful rumours about me, turned people against me, and just some of the worst of the worst that I don’t want to get into on here. It really affected my mental health and I’ve struggled to make friends that are girls since then. I’m open to the idea of joining a sorority but I’ve heard mixed opinions and experiences from a lot of people. Some girls say it’s the best thing they have ever did and others girls say it was super a toxic environment that was similar to high school. I’m scared I’ll have a bad experience that’s similar to my high school experience. Also from the things I’ve read on this site I’m a little reluctant to willingly enter an environment like this. I’m not trying to sound pathetic here but after going through what I endured I don’t think I could ever go through something similar again (you really wouldn’t understand unless you knew all the details). On the contrary, I do think I could really benefit from having a positive experience because like I said I don’t have many female friends and I’ve sort of been depressed since high school (lol). But there’s no guarantee I will have positive experience. Do you guys have any advice on what I should do? Please don’t be mean. I know this is probably not the site I should be asking but I’m just genuinely looking for some advice.

Whatever you do do not join one of these “top strats” please. I joined one and holy hell I rlly wanna drop. When you get initiated you can’t ever rush a sorority again or join another one so you gotta make the right choice. I made the wrong one. Every sorority was nice to me during recruitment so when one of the top sororities picked me I was SO EXCITED. It felt so good to be considered pretty enough or popular or be one of them. But then I realized that every girl who was nice to me during recruitment was just being fake and it was just their job to do so because none of them tried ro get to know me. While the “low tier” sororities were having a summer camp experience basically all best friends, all going on trips together, and stuff we spent most of our “bonding” time in our dorms putting on makeup for like two hours before some boring frat party. Most events were never fun, none of the girls wanted to get their hair wet or do any of the challenges at Phil because it would mess up their outfits or something, we stood around and took hundreds of photos and edited them for Instagram, our retreat looked amazing but we just tanned and gossiped the whole time. Worst experience, I’ve never felt so so pressured to be someone I’m not. Seeing the other sorority relax in sweatpants in their chapter rooms and watch funny movies while everyone in mine is gossiping is exhaustive and it’s ruining my mental health. I’ll never be able to rush another sorority again so I gotta make the most of this but being popular or pretty isn’t everything and I just wanted to have fun.

I’m in a top sorority and I promise you we aren’t perfect, it’s true that there’s pressure and the environment isn’t amazing but that’s all of Greek life! I really love my sorority and I don’t know if the other top ones are really like mine but they seem to really like each other (I hope) theres toxic stuff in every sorority and it changes every year like the dynamic so just give them all a shot

TBH dont do it. It really is toxic, if you join please join a lower tier or it will be high school all over again. I was in a top tier sorority and it destroyed my mental health that was fragile to begin with, trying to be perfect all the time and keep up with the "perfect sorority" girls.
