sorority girl blogged about why she's dropping

She's a theta hahahahah

so funny because all the bottoms houses get on here and are like "old row+zeta & aphi suck and have bad sisterhoods and we're the sweet girls with the best sisterhoods!!!" and then they get exposed hahaha. also, theta was her third choice house if that tells you anything else about theta lolol.

I am currently a sophomore in Theta getting ready to drop out of the sorority. This article is every reason I'm dropping and I'm not on here to cause drama, but I do want future pnms to be aware of this and be carful what house they choose. I am not bashing sororities because I think they are awesome but I am warning you to be carful if you choose Theta. It's an amazing sorority nationally though.

I think that article might be about Gamma Phi, too. They have a nasty group of girls who exclude their sisters, too.

So interesting to see people pick on Theta and Gamma Phi for what goes on in every sorority. Nice going girls. I'm not in either of those houses, but I can tell you the same thing happens in the Alpha Chi Omega house.

I am a senior Theta. Yes, the girl who wrote this was a member of my sorority, and I have no hard feelings towards her, but this is not how my experience has been in my house nor has it been the same for the vast majority of other girls. When there are 400+ girls, people are naturally going to break off into smaller groups. It just makes it easier to get to know people. I'm sorry, but there's no feasible way for all 400 of us to hang out together at one time. Being in a sorority is what you make of it. It doesn't gurantee you automatic friends. At the beginning, it's easy. Everyone is looking for friends when they've just moved to a strange new place and they're surrounded by all these new people, but if you don't try to maintain those superficial relationships, they won't last or develop into something more meaningful. I've seen it happen many times through my four years as a Theta in many different sororities--not just my own. Girls don't come to the house or go to swaps or date parties or even hang out with their sisters after the "pledging" period is over and those superficial friendships you made when you were desparetly trying to fit in go away. Girls end up dropping because they are over a year in and they don't have any "real" friends because it's much harder to try to make friends when friendships have already formed. That's just the facts of life. It happens in every house at UA, and it also happens outside of sororities.

Girls from all houses drop every year. I am old row and already know of 2 juniors who are dropping. Maybe not so many as certain houses. The one thing that really struck me she wanted so badly to be engaged just for the candlelight ceremony. Yes we all love the idea of "ring by spring" and yes candlelight is very emotional and unforgetable. In all seriousness and most of my sisters agree the right guy is way more important. Ugh....

There are people in this world that just can't stick with something that gets a little hard -- jobs, classes, diets, sports team, social groups, sororities.

Perhaps they were given trophies as children for showing up. Sororites take work. When you first pledge everyone focuses on you. It's all about you. It's like Christmas or your birthday for the first semester (or more).

Then you are an active and its your job to "bring it" for others. Find your way. Add value. Make deeper friendships. All while getting great grades and participating in dozens of events.

There are always some quitters in every chapter as there are in jobs and life.

It would be nice if Bama chapters were 200-ish members instead of 400-ish. But they are not, so sororities have to break into smaller groups. It's another form of selection. Some figure how to do it better than others.

This is right. Another form of selection. But many houses are way less cliquey than that girl makes theta out to be-- which I have doubts about. Girl just seems bitter in general. Some people don't know how to be content.

I am by no means defending the girls that make separate groupies, but it can be difficult to to figure out the plans of your close groups of friends if you are messaging in a group of 140 girls... EVERY sorority has multiple groupmes. Please quit calling out specific sororities to make them look bad.
