which house??????

by: Suze

My grades in high school weren't bad (mostly B's) and I will be going to Mizzou next year, just like my mother and sisters. I know this isn't a reason to boast, but I don't care that much about a career and don't even know what I want to major in. I really just want to get married. I plan to go through rush and I wonder which houses I might feel comfortable in and which ones have the most parties with guys. I am an ADPi legacy and my mom is very successful. One of my sisters was an ADPi about 5 years ago and she is now in law school. I don't know that I would fit in as an AdPi. What do you think? Any suggestons?

If you don't care that much about a career and really just want to "get married", why are you even going to college?

you are more than that. I bet you have amazing qualities and I hope you realize your true potential within. Don't aspire to land a man to complete you, aspire to be the best that you can be.

With criteria and goals like that you'd probably want to go Gphi, Zeta, DG, Aphi. All of them are great houses with really cool girls. But, if you carry a mentality like that, no house would want you.

I don't think you can really judge a house based on that criteria. for the person that posted "dg, gphi, zeta, aphi" that's so incorrect. Just because houses like kappa and theta are more known for grades and such does not mean they don't have girls like this as well. There are girls of every type in every house. Just go through rush and see where you fit in. There aren't any houses that are just or are mainly filled with wannabe housewives.

That's true, but there are houses that are known for rushing high-achievers. I don't feel qualified to direct her to a specific house, but I would encourage her to stay away from Theta, ADPi and PiPhi. Those houses put a high value on grades, honors and awards and might be a bit too intimidating for her. I have to say that at first I was taken aback by the original poster because this is 2014 and I wasn't aware that women still thought that way. But then I thought about it and actually appreciate her honesty. Being truthful, there are lots of girls who are just out to meet and sleep with a lot of guys hoping to get them to commit, but they don't admit it to themselves and others.

Each house wants girls who care about their future and being successful....if you're just worried about going to parties, you can do that without wasting a sorority's time pledging you.

^^^^If only this were true. Let's all admit right now that there are houses on this campus who choose girls because they are pretty and fun. And we know who they are.

Considering even the houses that have the stereotype for pledging "pretty and fun" girls have grades cuts during recruitment, this shows that they care about the girl they are pledging and what she's in college for. And having a certain GPA to maintain shows that as well. It's about time everyone forgets about the immature stereotypes and realizes that each house has every type of girl. We're all here in college joining sororities that we feel we belong in, so focus on your own instead of attempting to belittle others.

I was raised by a woman who went to college to find a husband. She was happily married and was a great wife and mother, and then he died. She had never been gainfully employed and never had an interest in making money, much less managing it. And the thing is, it's not as if she didn't have opportunities. She went to college in the 1980s and was surrounded by women who chose to first improve themselves and fulfill their goals and then find a husband if they wanted. Am I bitter? A little, because she was so single-minded, selfish and lazy. If it weren't for my grandparents who let us live with them and who continued to support their daughter and her children well past the age that they should have retired, I wouldn't be in college. I have refused to be supported by my grandparents and have several scholarships, two jobs and may have to take out student loans. Please reconsider that idea about just finding a husband. A husband may not be forever, but an education is.

This is a perfect situation of why everyone should have a college education and a career no matter what or who they end up with after college.

Yes to this. And why in the world, in 2015, would you want to put your future and your success in someone else's hands?

"Really" spoke eloquently about the folly of having as your main goal just finding a husband. Yes, he could die. Or you could be among the 50% of couples who get divorced (especially if the wife just wants to be a parasite and live off her husband's salary making no real contributions to the marriage). I'm sure thee are some men out there who just want to find someone to be "the little woman," but I sure wouldn't want to build a future with that sort of guy. And I certainly wouldn't want to be that woman.
