just a curious lurker

Well, @curious, you honestly seem very rude.

You’d never make it here.

tfw your sorority and little are boring so u have to write a whole paragraph on some schools greekrank u don’t even go to

Wasn’t bored. We’re just honestly wondering how the process differs at such a large school. i’m sorry if i came across as rude because that wasn’t my intention.

I ask this because my friends at state schools don’t seem to be very close to their littles and was really curious as to how the process differs at an ivy than at a state school.

Well we all knew Alabamans were dumb, but to not even recognize innocent curiosity.... she just asked a question, but of course everyone on here is too insecure to be anything but a bully to her, and you wonder why northerners think y’all are dumb as dirt.

To answer: it sounds a lot different from your process here. Getting a little is fun but it’s mostly just to give you an older connection in the house/ a rite of passage. I’m sure some people stay good friends with their littles, but not everyone does. I think it’s cool that Ivy League schools have a tight knit sisterhood like you described. Yes

We follow the new member processes our national HQs set just like all the other chapters of our sororities. We don’t get a pass to do things differently than other chapters just because we’re big. Our size also doesn’t somehow make the process superficial.

I guess the downside is that we get to meet a smaller percentage of potential bigs, but then your downside is that you have a smaller pool of potential bigs in the first place.

It's a fair question.
I'm an old lady, and when I was in college, my sorority had about 50 to 70 members. Now my sorority has almost 400!
But the friendships made - those are just about the same.
We had the same issues - bigs and littles that barely got along, some that didn't. We had friend groups that were tight. We had loners who wouldn't hang out at the house and then wondered why they didn't know anybody.
People do tend to find their own "tribe" the more they spend time with sisters.
The more you work with other members on various things - philanthropic projects, rush skits, conversation practice, T shirt deliveries, menu councils, whatever - the more members you get to know. You get out what you put into it.
In other words, it works the same, just on a different scale.
Now...I still can't figure out how they serve almost 400 meals three times a day out of a kitchen that's not much bigger than the one we had back in the day!
