minority rushing panhellenic

Hi there! I represent a minority population on campus and am a part of Greek life. I can honestly say that GW gives a different vibe that southern sororities. It acts more as a club rather than something very serious/catty. I have found that yes, the community lacks some diversity but I think it is representative of a national problem with Panhellenic rather than a GW specific problem. I and other minority sisters in my chapter have really enjoyed our experience so far, apart from the incident last year with one specific chapter. Hope this helps!

I would say use this to your advantage! Talk about how being a diverse person has shaped who you are. Sororities want authentic and genuine girls who embrace their identity

The only way sororities at GW can diversify more is for minority women to join. Go for it! We need you!

I completely agree with much already said. As a PoC from the south, I felt the same way. It’s true, the only way sororities will diversify is if more PoC joining them (which of course sororities being predominantly white need to provide a space in which we want to be a part of). I have never felt out of my place in my sorority, and know many girls in other sororities who have felt the same way. If you think a sorority won’t want you because you’re a PoC, maybe that one isn’t for you. But don’t worry, there is still a place for you.

If a sorority only posts the same 10 girls over and over on their Instagram and those 10 girls all look basically the same, you know what kind of girl they’re looking for (I’m looking at you, AEPhi)...
