why greek stereotypes matter
by: Big SIs
It's something no one wants to talk about, almost everyone hates at least one characteristic attributed to their chapter, however there is a reason that you SHOULD pay attention to stereotypes. When you come into the University you are going to be scared and excited, you are going to want certain things for yourself, want to be a specific kind of person. Whether or not anyone wants to actively admit this, stereotypes at USC are there for a reason and girls/guys in a certain greek organization WILL influence you to be like them. You can most definitely be your own person, but your friends shape your personality almost as much as your parents do, and you have to take that into consideration while rushing. That being said, every person wants different things out of college, just remember, who you are in college and the decisions you make here will stick with you for the rest of your life.
Happy Rushing PNM's

Lol. This is so dumb. Once again. Not every woman in every house fits the negative stereotypes. Therefore regardless of the house you are in you will be able to find a group of women that will enrich your life in the way you want. whether it be partying everyday. studying everyday. or whatever else. Stereotypes DON'T matter because it's a house of 300 women. Maybe if there were 40 women in the chapters it'd be a different story. But you have a huge pool of people with whom you can chose to associate.

First of all not all stereotypes are negative for sororities at USC, and "choose who to associate with" makes it sounds like you're being judgemental of your own sisters, so you can act all high and mighty, holier than thou, but you shouldn't have to "choose who to associate with" in your sorority. You should love all of them, even the ones people wouldn't expect you to. That's the whole point of Greek life,, to bring likeminded individuals together.

I'm not the person who commented before but I can honestly say that I don't dislike any of the girls in my chapter, I might not know all of them but I don't dislike anyone

well I don't have a problem with any girl in my chapter, granted I don't know every single one of them like I would know my best friends, but I still don't have an issue with anyone

Idk I feel like she makes a good point, yeah there's 400 girls in every sorority but if it's a so sprites stereotype than obviously a majority of the girls in said sorority are like that, who would want to have to deal with the struggles of being the oddball out? Why would t you give the stereotype a chance? Yeah you obv shouldn't base your entire judgement off of the stereotype but I feel like it definitely should at least be considered.
