should you be in a sorority?

by:    

If you're on this site because you want to know what recruitment has in store for you, you're probably taken aback with the sheer meanness you've seen on this site. You may be wondering if this life is for you. Of course you can talk to your high school friends, your mom's sorority friends, or research on the internet to find out what it's like. I didn't research. I just went into it blindly.

After I accepted a bid and then dropped out during new member period, I found an OU Daily article written by a sorority girl about life in this same house house. It really opened my eyes.

You can find it here: You can read it here: www.oudaily.com/opinion/column-are-you-sure-joinin g-the-greek-system-is-right/article_207f9f8b-b98c- 520b-b1cc-1d80e036ba02.html NOTE: you need to remove any spaces if they show up when this gets posted.

As for me, I didn't join another sorority because of the type of things described in this article. Now I realize that not every house is like that. Maybe only that one house. I have good friends that are very happy in there houses and I almost wish I were in a house too. Oh well, it's a little too late.

But all in all, I'm glad my eyes were opened to what some houses will do to get new members. This house will probably flood this site with a lot of mean comments, blaming this house or that house for posting this article.

But the truth is it was posted by someone not in any house at OU.

I too would be interested in what (if anything) has changed since the article was written. I keep checking this comment to see if the Alpha Phis have responded but they just blame the posting on one house. (Especially since the op said she's not in a house.) It's strange that their focus is on who posted. If it were my house I'd try to clear up any misconceptions instead of whining about the article being posted.

I'm still checking this to see if Alpha Phi is going to stick up for themselves. They don't like it when people say that they're good at trying to tear down other houses, so I'd like to see them building up their own. It makes me wonder why they don't respond about why they think their house is great.

That's my answer to the discussion post question. Normally I would advise girls join the house that wants them and give it a chance but it appears some GPB has become obsessed with better houses and has no life outside greekrank. I'd hate that to happen to someone else.

I wrote post #26 to encourage Alpha Phi to get back on the subject and stop obsessing about the fact that this article was posted. I would really like to hear what they have to say. Instead, you got on and posted this tired accusation and 3 hateful comments about GPB. It seems obvious you wanted to bury this again. Looks suspicious to me. Lots of people would like to hear why you think Alpha Phi is so much better than others think they are.

The subject is Alpha Phi, not Gamma Phi. It seems like every time you post it's about Gamma Phi.

The subject is "should you join a sorority". You are consumed by Alpha Phi. Sorry you're unhappy in your house but it's too late so make the best of it.

The subject is that a girl rushed A Phi and dropped out during the new member period then found an article that she wished she'd seen earlier. It has a lot of unflattering things in it about A Phi. That's the subject. (How did you do on the reading portion of your standardized tests. You would have failed the question about what this comment was about.)

How bout you come out of the shadows and step up and own what you claim you want to know. Go to their house and ask them. It appears you just want to slander them on this site. Too bad your house has nothing to be proud of that you spend all your time trying to bring down other houses. How awful it must be to have the kind of hate you carry in your heart. It consumes you.

It's really hysterical that commenter #28 moans about someone spending "all your time trying to bring down other houses." That's what she spends hours doing every day!

I guess all the things the author said were true a couple of years ago are still true. OU had such a compatible greek system before Alpha Phi came. It's not enough to sing and dance well. You have to have good character too. Oh well, so much for trying to help Alpha Phi fit in at OU.

Try helping GPB. Those poor girls seem to be crazy or have one with a split personality disorder.

I just read 2 pages of Alpha Phi trying to persuade anyone who will listen that their problems are Gamma Phi's fault. Sheeeeeeeeesh! I hadn't been aware of this until now but I agree. Panhellenic togetherness has not worked for the Alphas. They have completely ruined their house at OU..

This is the reason for all the hatred on this site. This house bids women whose hearts are three sizes too small!

I just read through a few of the comments the Alpha Phi has posted and they're slipping from just hateful to really incomprehensible. She has a lot of inside jokes (eg the "fabulous darling" post above) and other posts that make no sense at all. She's really losing it. Seems like it would be easier to apologize. She's not going to win (and by "win" I mean convince people that Alpha Phi is a decent, classy house that the top PNMs are interested in). She'd definitely be better off apologizing and spending her time studying for finals.

This article is prolly why the alphas are so mad because they don't want people to see it. They're complete wackos if they don't realize that I'd have never seen it if they had made such a mess that everyone's talking about them.

you are "prolly" right, gangsta. I like the way you are changing tactics. Interesting.

I can't decide if you are a gangsta or a rapper or just an ignorant, immature idiot. The only point I get from your comment is that the Alpha Phis are advertising the shame from the article by constantly posting and bringing it up.
