do stephen's girls have a chance at rushing
by: K
I'm thinking about transferring to Stephens College after this year for my sophomore year, and as far as I know Stephen's girls are allowed to pledge a Mizzou sorority. Would I stand any chance at making it? I currently attend a large school out east, however the sorority presence is really small. I hear that it's a lot bigger in Missouri, and would really like to pledge a sorority if that's possIble (largely so I can meet guys and get away from the overly artsy girls at Stephens. Going to an all women's art school should be great for my program and major, but I suspect I'm going to need some other outlets, socially.) I also love the idea of sisterhood. Anyways, do Stephen's girls tend to get overlooked come time for rush? and Would my transfer status be another strike, or is there a chance I could get into a decent sorority?

Stephen's girls aren't allowed to be a part of Mizzou's Greek Life. Stephen's has 2 sororities: KD and Tri Sigma. I have a few friends that go there and they told me that Tri Sig is considered to be the better house out of the 2. You might want to try rushing there, but if you want to be a part of Mizzou Greek Life you will have to transfer to Mizzou.

I mean I'm a fashion merchandising major, so Stephens is good for that, from what I gather, their program is more highly acclaimed than Mizzou's. I think I'll do better academically there, with the smaller classes and more personalized approach to learning, that's one of the big reasons I'm transferring. The plan is to ace my classes at Stephen's and then go get my associates at FIT in New York, build connections there, and graduate with a job in the city. Is there a stigma with Stephen's girls, amongst the Mizzou students, socially or academically? Do they have the general cliche of fashion majors who go on to get married and lead the domestic life, doing nothing with their degrees. Sorry, not sure if this is the right venue to ask, but I really want an honest straight forward answer, without an BS

There is no stigma about Stephens girls. Honestly we don't even think about you guys. Not to be harsh, just Mizzou is a huge school and Stephens is, well, not.

Here's a hint: nothing is highly acclaimed at Stephens except the bank balance of the dads who are putting their little darlings through school. Here's another hint, you don't go from getting a bachelor's degree at one school to getting an associates at another. And, frankly, I think FIT in New York would laugh at your Stephen's degree. At Mizzou we have a saying: a degree from Stephens is the best that money can buy. Heck, you don't even have to go to class but you can have that degree hanging on your wall anyway. The way to get some respect is to attend a COMPETITIVE college or university in your field and to really push yourself to get good grades. At Stephens you and the other fashion and equestrian majors might be preparing yourself for the country club life, and if that's what you want, fine. But I guess I would encourage you to have a little self-respect, challenge yourself and become self-sufficient and the best person you can be instead of going from living under daddy's thumb to living under your husband's.

Just so you know, Stephen's is only 5000$ more per year than Mizzou, it offers more scholarships, too, it also has a lower acceptance rate, meaning it's harder to get into, hence more competitive.
What's with the hate?

Holy hell what is wrong with you? You sound mad you aren't going to Stephens... Why are you telling someone that they shouldn't be going to a college of their choice? An education is an education... Don't ever tell someone their option for education is wrong. If a girl wants to go to Stephens because she wants the smaller school environment then let her. MIZZOU is not the only school out there. You sound awful.

A lower acceptance rate doesn't not mean it is harder to get into. Missisippi state and ole miss you can get in with an 18 on ur act and their acceptance rates are in the 60%. Where at mizzou it is 24 and their acceptance rate is in the 80%s. Acceptance rate could Also mean a bunch of just really under qualified people applied to Stephens college so not as many got in. But I can name several people who are at Stephens because they couldn't get into mizzou. If you pay their tuition you are in basically.

It doesn't matter where you get your degree, it matters what you do with it. That may be the stereotype of Stephens girls, but you don't have to live up to it. If you've done your research and you feel that Stephens has a strong program in the Fashion field and you want to go there, don't let anything stop you. And I think you might have meant you want to get a masters from FIT, not an associates. Also, I would STRONGLY suggest a business minor so that you have something to fall back on if fashion doesn't work out for you. It's a crazy competitive industry and one of the hardest to make it in. It's not about your degree, necessarily, but who you know that can help you get your foot in the door. Just some food for thought. Whatever you decide, I wish you good luck!

Except it DOES matter where you get your degree. Just ask any of the out-of-state journalism majors who are paying big money to attend the best journalism school in the nation. It will make a difference for the rest of their lives and tells potential employers you have very high standards.

Seriously why would anyone think they could go to one school and join a sorority at a different school? It just doesn't even make sense.
