let’s be real

by: help

I rushed and pledged a “lower” tier house this past fall. I somewhat enjoy it, but of course, there are “those” kinds of girls in my house. The girls are not really my type, and for some reason, I seem to gravitate to hangout with way more girls in other top houses. I wasn’t super involved within my house because I honestly wasn’t very proud to be in it. When people ask what house I am in, I kind of say it in an embarrassed way and people are often surprised when I tell them what house I’m in because I clearly don’t fit in there. I really feel like I deserved more than the bid I got. Can someone please give me advice on what I should do?

Rush is a very tricky thing, and it’s really hard to give answers in these types of situations. Maybe you did belong in a higher house, but those top houses also have to put forth their best offers for girls. I’m not saying you weren’t one of those, but maybe those girls had better connections somewhere or were legacies? A lot of legacies and girls with different connections often times don’t fit the “personas” of certain houses, so maybe they had these while you had more of the personality/looks. It’s flip flopped. Don’t hang your head! You’re still in Greek life and all chapters are great! Wear you letters proudly! It’s fine to hangout with girls in other houses, a lot of girls do that. But if you’re not thoroughly enjoying your house, you should consider dropping or trying to get involved within it! Greek life is a huge investment (time and money wise) and it would be a bummer is you’re just wasting both! I hope this helped! Best of luck to you :)

Wow aren’t you judgmental! Maybe the top houses viewed you as one of “those” kind of girls. Please do your house a favor and drop out so they don’t have to put up with someone who doesn’t want to be there and judges them as lesser.

How are you going to call the op judgmental and then hop on here and tell her she might be “lesser” too? I don’t think that’s how that works, lol

Maybe it’s because you didn’t put on a mask and be fake during your recruitment? I mean, that’s what a lot of the top houses recruit anyways

You sound bitter.
When you have only a few minutes to make an impression, putting your best self out there and being outgoing doesn’t make you fake. I’m usually pretty reserved, but I knew I had to smile and talk my head off at every house because that’s the only chance girls have to talk to you. If you sit quietly and don’t act excited, girls will think you don’t want to be there. Top houses have to make big cuts and don’t have a lot of time to talk to girls, so they select girls they know really want the be in their house.

To the OP, it’s great to have friends in other houses. Most people do! But I agree with another poster, get involved or drop out. It isn’t worth paying to dues if you don’t enjoy it, however, you usually get out of things what you put in to them.

This is the problem with rankings it give people this high school popularity/hierarchy mindset. It’s one thing to not feel like you fit in a house, but it’s another to look down on something because it seems weird to you.
