confusing sorority complaints/disagreements
by: newtogreekrankA lot of these posts are confusing. I just started looking at this website because I might rush in the fall. It seems kind of negative and sometimes not helpful because it seems like a lot of different sorority members just throw the names of other sororities around and it's hard to know what is real or just mean stuff. I'm concerned about rush or even thinking about which ones are good. Although, it seems like the old ones are looked upon with favor. I don't really care how old a sorority is as long as the people are nice and have good relations or "sisterhood". I'm also a legacy, but I really want to decide for myself and not lean on that. I thought this website might be helpful, but it really just seems confusing and bad because people can say anything, so it really doesn't seem helpful.

I think we should all try to send the right message to new people and not confuse them.

Be open minded if you go through rush and go with your feelings about the people you meet. It is an interesting experience and you will meet a lot of people. Don't get caught up in the drama on this website.

A lot of sororities have a good sisterhood. There are so many people. This site is stupid and just the opinion of random people and some people that like to talk badly about other sororities. Don't let it get in the way of your own feelings.

Don't believe everything you read on here. There's a lot of people that like to stir things up and cause drama.

Try to get something out of rush even though it is exhausting and stressful. This website of stupidity and chaos is just a sampling of some of the crazy that is involved with rush. Try to meet people and be friendly. Try to get some sleep. The days are long, hot, and tiring. Wear comfortable shoes & bring bandaids. Hopefully you will find some friends along the way. Don't worry about the judgmental girls that are arrogant and think you have to be old row or you don't matter. Luckily that isn't the majority of the people.

It would be impossible to 'lean on' a legacy. There are enough legacies for each house, each year to fill multiple pledge classes. If you are a legacy, you will likely not be cut after the first round from that house, but it doesn't matter after that. Key is to max out the number of parties that you attend each round. If you are invited back to ten houses, go to all ten, even if you think you don't like one or two. It is usually mostly the girls who self select and limit their choices during the process that end up with their mom's in town, crying in their dorm rooms on bid day. The next year, they go through again, keep an open mind and end up happy.

It makes it sound like being a legacy doesn't really help that much, if there are so many legacies each year.

Being a legacy doesn’t matter. I know of several double legacies who ended up being dropped. Legacies generally make it to round 2, but that’s it. Keep in mind most sororities already have their “wishlist” of pledges completed spring semester. Unfortunately, with a school this big, rush ends up being mostly based on who you know. Recommendation letters mainly only help if you have one from a UGA alum, but still get them sent in because some sororities have to have them to offer a bid. Regardless who you are, be prepared to be dropped by some sororities that acted like they were in love with you! Don’t worry about what you wear, as long as you look decent, there are too many girls to remember who wore what. Rush can be brutal. Keep an open mind. There really are so many near perfect rushees that EVERY UGA chapter ends up with some tip top girls. Your freshman year pledge class will literally be so important for your social life, so I strongly recommend not dropping out if your top picks drop you! Just my two cents!

I agree. Checkout the different websites for the sororities and look at the philanthropy of different sororities and see what fits with your interests. Don't make any judgements based on ideas that are driven by bad attitudes or agendas.
