Ranks Do Not Matter on this Campus

by:    

I had to check this site out since the dumb documentary. Yikes, its more toxic than its ever been before and I have to believe that people that are now obsessed with the Bama Greek system are now participating in commenting here. The information and comments are so bad. I hope PNMs aren't really taking any of this as serious information about sororities or fraternities.

Unlike other campuses, sorority house ranks here DO NOT MATTER because every house is strong and active here. No house really has any problem getting members. This is not like some colleges where the Greek system is slowly dying so being in a top house matters in order to get the full Greek experience. Here, the number of PNMs that go through recruitment INCREASES every year. This means that ALL houses on this campus get quality girls...it's not limited to just the top houses.

I would also like to clear up another thing- your future house (no matter the rank on this stupid site), will give you a great experience and in every house you will:

1. Meet girls that will be your best friends forever and other girls that are annoying. There will be 350-400 girls in your house, you won't love all of them.

2. You will have rules as new member that you have to follow. All houses have rules for new members which will include attending meetings and sisterhood events, not wearing your letters in certain places, your appearance, your GPA requirements, paying your dues, social media posts, and pomping until you die during homecoming. Some houses are stricter about certain things than others. We all did it, you'll be fine. If you don't like rules about conduct, I don't think the Greek system is for you because every house cares about the reputation they are trying to maintain or, in some case, change.

3. Nobody cares about your letters once you accept a bid. I have friends in all the houses. I'm in a NR house that isn't ranked super high on GR and none of my friends in other houses care and I don't care what their letters are either. I have never had a problem getting into any fraternity party, getting asked to NOLA or other date parties, etc. If you are cute and fun, fraternity guys don't care.

4. You will have a ton of social opportunities in any house. Every house has sisterhood events, themed swaps with fraternities, date parties, homecoming pairings, etc. Every. Single. One. Any comments here that a certain house doesn't do this or that is total garbage. If you want to socialize and meet guys, you'll get that chance in every house.

5. All the houses are mansions and beautiful. SK is in the process of building its mansion because they are new on campus. Otherwise, comparing one mansion to another one is just stupid. Have you seen the sorority houses on other campuses? All of our houses are amazing. Live in your house if you get the chance.

6. Be yourself during recruitment and do not worry about the houses that release you. Focus on the houses that want you and are so excited to have you back each round. I fell in love with my house during the second round and it just kept getting better because it was clear to me that they really liked me too. I didn't even know about the ranks so I was clueless and that made for a great recruitment week. Remember that EVERYONE gets released from all the houses but one during the week; the timing of the releases just varies. Don't freak out. You will be ok.

Bump for PNM positivity, but especially after that super discouraging dirty rush post.

At the end of the day, being in a sorority at Bama is awesome no matter what house you’re in. Find the house where you laugh freely and want to come back!

seriously, that post made it sound like every house has their list of 135 girls or whatever and there is no space for a girl they haven't met yet. surely it isn't completely like that
