i'm so glad i went in blind

To begin with rush itself is incredibly overwhelming. It is intimidating, and inhumane. But mostly shallow. As an out-of-stater, I knew no one in any of the sororities, and came in with only the recs from people I contacted when I decided to go through with the recruitment process way back in april. I didn't even know greek rank was a thing at the time until late august after I accepted my bid. And I'm so glad that I did. I'm in a lower tier sorority. And I'm damn proud to be representing them. I went to three different Pref events (of all different tiers), and at the end of the day I chose my sorority because of one girl who I absolutely fell in love with, who I am so happy to say is my big today. I fell in love with this sorority because of their philanthropy, and how genuine all my conversations felt with them during recruitment. And I don't regret my decision for a second. Any of the other sororities just wouldn't have been me.
But you see, I wasn't looking for a good social calendar, or people to go out and get smashed with. I was looking for a genuine sisterhood and I found that. And the truth is that you can find that in any of the sororities, and I believe with all of my heart at the end of the day, it doesn't matter which frat you hooked up with, but rather the sisters that surround you through the rest of your days. The bridesmaids at your wedding, the girls around your hospital bed, and the people who listen to you when you need a friend.

How would I know anything about the UGA greek system apart from what I saw during recruitment? It really isn't all as apparent as you're making it out to be. We put our pants on one leg at a time. No one group of girls is better than any other. And I pity you for looking at others that way. I sincerely hope you are accepting of yourself and treat others with kindness regardless of where you apparently see them to be. I promise you that the other 75% of campus not involved in Greek life doesn't give a damn about rankings.
