greekl life here?

Haha what stories have you heard? Greek life is a big deal in the south, but I have 2 sisters in sororities - one at Alabama and one at UGA - and the crazy stories they've told me are either about frats or college in general. And even with recruitment being a huge deal at Alabama and Georgia, 90-95% of girls get a bid each year because they have so many chapters.

One difference in recruitment here is that in the south your family and connects are major considerations while at UCLA bids are given out primarily based on family (in terms of how rich you are) and looks. I noticed a lot of "top" houses in the south have some really unfortunate looking girls in the them but around here you can be a triple legacy and won't get in (to a top house) if you aren't at least a 7.

The craziness comes from the frats and their hazing, the incredibly expensive dues and houses my friend that goes to Texas says dues are close to $3000), and basically just how important it is to those schools. Here, it's a small part of the student body and the geeds are always salty and tryna roast us. But idk what you guys are saying about legacy, maybe it's different for sororities but legacy is very important for the frats. Lot's of guys who stereotypically wouldn't be in a house for instance can get in.
