sisterhood suggestions

AOII:

As much as it can appear from the outside that certain houses are more sisterly than others, any commenter can only speak from their individual experience in their house and certainly not on the sisterhood of other houses.

There are girls who feel excluded and unwelcome in every sorority (certainly not the majority). Especially freshman year, when your friend group isn’t set in stone and you’re just forming connections— girls tend to either complain to others about their house during this time, or put on a front that their house is the best and most welcoming on the row. Either way, the majority of us took a little bit of time to really feel comfortable and truly embrace the sisterhood. Most girls find a wonderful support system in their house. For what it’s worth, I’m in a house that is criticized a decent bit about our sisterhood, but I have found my home away from home.

Just my opinion from the girls I know in different houses. This is just MY opinion, so take it with a grain of salt.

About all the same TBH. I went to a smaller private HS so my pledge class was about the same size as my whole grad class. Cliques formed, more popular girls, girls gossiped, there were "the weird and odd" girls. Freshman year felt like hs. No one on here ever really talks about my house good or bad too much.

Of all my friends, I'd say only three have never complained about issues in their houses. Like someone above said, you never know how things really are and much of what you read on here is made up to make houses look good or bad. My three friends that seem to be the happiest with their sisterhood are in DDD, GPB, and AGD. I can't recommend my own house for sisterhood, but we have lots of other good qualities.

you're just teeing up a post to promote a low ranked house. admit it. you can't handle the rep.

Post number two nailed it.

No one really knows what it’s like to be in a house, unless you are part of it.

I know girls who have dropped from houses because they weren’t “feeling it, but these include drops from houses described here to be both friendly and not so friendly.

My personal experience is that I didn’t connect with many of the houses described here as “good sisterhoods” as I didn’t find those girls to be as friendly to me!

The other point is to compare the numbers in the houses to your high school. There are approximately 135 members in your pledge class, and over 400 girls in the house.

I know there are bigger and smaller high schools, but on average the Pledge classes are as large as all the girls in your graduating class, and the sorority as large as all the girls in your high school.

And even if you all came from the same ZIP Code, think of how close you were to being described as one stereotype! Probably that wouldn’t make sense.

Given that why would you think the dynamics of 135 girls in a pledge class and 400 girls in the house are going to be all that differentFrom the dynamics of all the girls in your high school.

So take all these GR rankings, stereotypes, and neat little boxes with a serious grain of salt.

All houses are going to have a measure of sisterhood, competitiveness, drama, close friendships, and cliques.

And would agree it’s impossible to know the proportion’s unless you are part of the house, and even at that different girls within the house will describe it differently depending on their personal experience.

The best way to guarantee your happiness is to search for the place where you can find girls most like you and your background and your likes.

The low key Christian southern house with a reputation for a good sisterhood, is likely going to be a miserable place for a high style party girl from California, despite its reputation for being notably friendly.
