vent
by: IsSheFoRealRN?
Some chick was ranting about how much worse being in a strat was than a frat at Cornell, and I just want to vent.
sorority life is much easier than fraternity life. Like literally everything about it.
In terms of rush: girls make it out like getting into the core 4 is impossible. They take about 170-180 pnm’s every year between the 4. It’s the equivalent number of pledges getting into the top 10 frats. Getting into PiPhi/SDT/DDD is the equivalence if getting into the middle tier and lower middle frats (Phi tau, Phi Sig, Pi Kapp, Sammy).
Mixing Schedule: Core 4 gets to mix with whoever they want basically whenever they want. Middle 3 sororities get to mix with all of the top 10 frats. If you are in any of the other strats except phi mu you get to mix with mid tier frats consistently and occasionally upper mid frats.
As a guy, if you are in a mid tier you get stuck mixing with low tier sororities and bending over backwards for a mixer with the mid tier sororities. If you are in a lower middle house, welcome to one mixer a week. If you are stuck in bottom of the top 10 (Chi Phi, DX, Fiji, Chi Psi), you get to mix with mid-tier sororities, occasional low tier sororities, and rarely get core 4 mixers [mostly at 8 ways] (I guess chi psi lets their house get wrecked for a couple more core 4 mixers than the rest of the group). There are only 6 frats [Sig Chi, Sig Phi, AD, DU, Phi Psi, Sig Pi (~120 pnm’s for number reference) on campus that have the mixing schedule of a mid tier strat or better (315 pnm’s). As a guy you are basically screwed when it comes to mixing.
Other:
-at a frat you have to pledge
-as a girl all of your partying is free and simple. Frats provide all the alc, provide the venue, and provide rides.
-frat houses are run down and disgusting
Is there something about being in a Cornell sorority that I’m missing here??
Signed,
- a mid tier guy

girls rush is definitely more competitive than what you are describing it as. close to 1000 rush and only up to 600 girls pledge a house at all since many girls drop out if they get cut from C4+pi phi DDD SDT. not saying it is harder than guys rush bc idk the numbers for it but

girls rush is also a really different process and harder because of that. You only get to talk to girls in a house for 5-10 min and therefore the process is more superficial. If you don't know actives in a house coming in its pretty hard to get a bid at many houses based off of so little interaction and one average 5 minute conversation with one girl at house could mean getting cut. Each interaction is higher stakes for girls and its easier to slip through the cracks during sorority recruitment

They don’t have parties because the nations don’t let them. Before I transferred to Cornell my university had independent sororities that threw parties all the time. I think it’s time for women to empower themselves and start paying for parties and alc
