What they don't say about rush

This is the sad side of GL. There are countless girls that feel this way. This is one reason why many drop and the rest that feel the same way just stay for a variety of reasons. You need to let it go and make the best of the time in your sorority. Things change after the massive excitement during recruitment.

My parents pay my sorority dues but that has never caused me to not appreciate my sorority. You only get out of it what you put into it, so just going through the motions is just a waste of space and ruins it for other people as well as yourself.

someone copied this word for word and pasted on the Miami University OHIO GR page in a hate post against Miami's AXO

just bumping it bc i just told everyone on miami's page to look for the same post here. just making it easy for everyone to find.

I understand this completely. My big dropped though. I also joined because I really enjoyed talking to her during rush. She stopped going to everything and then when it came time for spring, dropped. She really didn't like the sorority. We are still friends, and I don't hold it against her at all. But, I do wonder if it wasn't for her what sorority I would have ended up in. A few girls in my pledge class want to drop also but their parents already paid so they will drop going into junior year and just not go to anything this spring. I feel there is a mix of girls who like the sorority and those that don't. I have now learned not to believe any sorority posts on ig.

I have been one those members that are okay with someone dropping. It is not for everyone, and I am fine with that. Most pnms have no clue what is involved in sorority membership, and they go through recruitment because so many are doing it. It is an exciting time before school starts and they don't want to miss out on any experience. When it all settles, and they get into the routine many find it is not what they thought it would be. The glossies don't always tell the full story and that is also okay. For some, sorority life is the end-all-be-all and for others it just falls short. I think pnms just need to be realistic and not put so much weight on one or two factors when choosing their houses. That way they won't be as disappointed.

Pnm's should never ever choose a sorority based on a rush crush because that is one girl out of hundreds in the chapter. It is better to look around at the pnm's rushing with you from round to round, and when it comes down to prefs, take a real close look at who will likely be in your nm class - they are going to make or break your sorority experience, not the older girls, especially not one single girl, so make a better decisions based on your pnm peers.
