we're all better than this! (part one)

I had the opportunity to be a Gamma Chi to many of the new young women that wanted to experience rush this year. What I've experienced has caused me to want to make a positive and systemic change in my house and hopefully the Greek system as a whole. I'll start by saying that I'm part of a upper tier sorority that has a long and storied history on campus. I love my sisters and enjoy what we do for each other and the community. However, what I've seen this year really opened my eyes.


There are a lot of trolls on this site so I never taken many of the comments seriously - however, perhaps we should. To see non-fact based statistics and general hatred spread on this site is disgraceful and we should work to eradicate this hatefulness rather than feed and substantiate it.

There's a lot of discussion about how poorly a sorority did or that fact that some of the newer sororities took all of the "rejects" from the top houses. In reality, some of these young ladies never stood a chance. We all claim to have southern hospitality, privilege and charm, yet we quickly dismissed girls this year faster than ever simply because they were form out of State or didn't have the rec from the right alumnus. Many of these girls were never given a real opportunity, simply because they didn't live in the right town or know the right person. It concerns and troubles me that so many quality girls never made it past the first round in many houses, which leads me to my next topic(see part 2)
