theta

They had normal girls in their house too don't get me wrong. But if you don't screw up before rush and have really good grades, like 3.4 or better, your chances improve drastically. But with so many girls going through recruitment now even theta and aopi can be pickier on the girls they take. Top tier sororities will be hard to get unless you really know someone. Middle is do able if you have all the criteria. If it comes down to a house you don't want you can always drop or join adpi and start then off by building a good reputation. Plus they will probably have the nicest house on campus once it's done being built.

Amen to Oldrow.

both Theta and ADPi are two of the most respected national organizations. If you fit in and love the Theta girls--and get a bid, take it. If not, ADPi will have a house soon and you can be part of starting a great chapter.

You're a pathetic snob and a hater...

I have to comment on this thread. I just looked at Theta's facebook page, and the girls look lovely. I don't attend Ole Miss. But I too have a hard time understanding why they are so disrespected. I know you can't judge a group by its facebook page. But why not let them enjoy their sisterhood without getting bashed? Are they REALLY that bad?

Sounds like Sisterhood would know how it feels to get kicked out. Maybe not personally bu boy is she throwing shade. Sisterhood, go read your morale code, if you have one still, and take it easy. M'kay?

Firsthand experience-at least Thetas are nice to all students on campus and not just those in the Greek system. Thetas will still speak to you and act like they know you even after they find out you didn't pledge a fraternity. This isn't so with most other sorority girls. Thetas are real, genuine, and down-to-earth!

Thetas are only bad because they don't recruit as well as the other groups. They put no effort into their water parties. it's almost like they thought "you won't chose me anyway, so I don't have to impress you."

^^^to Curious: Honestly, there isn't anything "wrong" with Theta! The chapter is very, very young in comparison to the other sororities on campus. Since the Ole Miss Theta chapter is only 35 years young, alumnae are just now getting to a stage in life where they are able to support the chapter. The first in house legacies are just now old enough to be going through recruitment. So, two major issues really-1) the young chapter just doesn't have the years and years of local alum support that the other houses do 2) there hasn't been time to establish long lines of legacies yet. So, the chapter is naturally smaller in number and size than the older, more richly steeped in MS tradition and legacy chapters on campus. :) It can be said that Theta has to work harder to attract most MS girls since there aren't many homes in which the mothers, grandmothers, and aunts were Thetas at Ole Miss! However, what may seem as a disadvantage in size and number is actually an advantage in other ways! There are more opportunities for leadership development. The members have an easier time getting to know each other since the numbers aren't as large and true sisterhood is experienced. All of that being said, Theta is extremely strong nationally(actually internationally) and has tremendous national recognition! So for those that say that doesn't matter in MS, I think they are wrong. I know plenty of Ole Miss Thetas that are extremely successful in their careers & volunteer organizations in MS!

it's hard to be an enthusiastic recruiter when you know from this website that you are being bashed. Think how you would feel if your chapter has had such demoralizing comments said about you. Of course you would think, "why even try?" That being said, once you get to know them, the Thetas are some of the most real, caring, down-to-earth girls , which cannot be said about most chapters here, since Ole Miss is places so much value on superficiallity and fakeness.
