houses

Your house only got renovated because it was a dump lmao...

Nor does a new/renovated house automatically point towards a bad sisterhood. I really am having trouble trying to figure out your point. While it has nothing to do with the quality of the sisterhood, it has everything to do with the alumni/national support. New houses cost millions. Renovations cost hundreds of thousands. You can't do them without the support of your alums and the backing of nationals, because they all have a vested interest. So when you see a new or newly renovated house it means everyone associated with the sorority takes pride in it. And when a house is a dump, well, there are other issues there. As for DU, they were a bunch of douches who thought they didn't have to play by the rules. Their house had nothing to do with anything.

New Tiger, one of 3 things must have happen 1) you didn't sign up for rush, 2) you were dropped by every house or 3) you thought you were better than the houses you had left so you quit. Here is what nobody tells you- There is no information about "informal rush", in fact you will never know that a house is doing informal rush maybe to fill a few spots unless you already KNOW someone in that house. Now you really have your work cut out for you. If you are still looking to join, you must email the chair of each sorority, let them know you are interested. Honestly,count yourself lucky if you even get 2 replies and if you were one of those that quit because you didn't like what you had left, you most likely will get a reply from the houses you had left (if your lucky). Good luck!
