joining a sorority, but these ranks freak me out?
by: newestpledge
Hi, so I'll be a freshman in a year at U of A, and I've been wanting to join a sorority really badly but all of these ranks are really starting to worry me. My aunt was an APhi, so that was one of my top choices along with DG and Gamma Phi Beta. I've been doing a lot of research on the houses at U of A and now I'm a little nervous about pledging any because of how badly they all sound. I plan on being an engineer so I'd need a house that still cares about academics and philanthropy, and I'm really looking for sisterhood over partying, so please please please give me accurate ratings on sororities because at this point I'm not sure I want to pledge any of them after reading so many awful things. Thank you so much!
Love, Your Future Pledge

just go through recruitment & you'll find where you belong. DG, GPhi, and APhi all might have reps of being sloppy but they're all good houses and in every house (yes, even APhi and -god forbid you go- Kappa), you'll find girls that have the same priorities as you and someone you can connect with. Also, most girls in sororities care about their grades and academics, even if you wouldn't think so. It's not a coincidence that greek women have higher GPAs than non-greek women

The best thing you can do is go through recruitment with an open mind. Doing that will allow you to make your own judgments about what houses you actually like.
Also- I got dropped from my top pick house (the one my best friend was in), so just because you want a certain house, it doesn't mean you'll get it.
If you have your hopes set on a house it'll be that much harder if you get dropped.

Don't let anyone tell you "awesome alphas are like this" and beautiful betas are like that." Girls can only speak for what THEIR OWN houses are like. Sure, they can spout of reputations and cut other houses down, but when it gets down to it, reputations are only reputations. One house may be labeled lame, but their sisterhood may be great. This site may call a house "forgettable," but they may be your most memorable. Girls may say a house is uninvolved, but you may find this to be the exact opposite of that house's reality.
What I'm saying is, this site is full of ridiculous generalizations and a few girls being nasty. This is NOT how Greek life really is. If you go in with an open mind, you will find your house, and you'll love it, regardless of what anyone on this site has to say about it. You can let people who post nasty things here discourage you, but I encourage you not to. Had I listened to this site I wouldn't have touched my house with a ten foot pole, but I didn't listen. I ended up joining an amazing group of women, being happier than I've ever been, and loving the U of A more than I ever thought I would.

You have lost it. Gphi's are not posting all the mean comments. It's clearly YOU. Get a life. Stop bashing on one sorority and learn how to spell.

It's obviously the same insane girl posting every single negative about them here. You are one sick puppy. GPhi is a very strong and popular house here. They have no reason to bother with any of this nonsense except to defend themselves against your psychotic attacks. I am standing up with all my Panhellenic sisters to beg you to stop embarrassing yourself and to get the help you need. None of this represents UofA Greek life at all.

wish your sorority was banned from the UA. Bashing your own peers and greek sisters is awful. If you hate gphi so much why sit behind a computer like a coward and talk to badly. why not say which sorority hates them if you're so confident gphi is a horrible addition to UA. What makes your sorority so much better when you are being a bully?

my mom knows too. she wishes I had stayed in California. Arizona has lots of rich kids from Cali but that does not mean the parents who foot the 45k bill are impressed. gphi is a spectacular fail and a perfect example of what is wrong with this place.

You're really sad. can't you understand the PNMs will all see that this is 100% untrue and God knows all of us normal sorority members already know it's just the work of you as an obsessed mentally ill stalker. I'll pray for you.
All of our houses are great places to call home! Panhellenic love and good luck with recruitment to everyone!
