sorority comments

And just because your in a particular house doesn't make you pretty, smarter, popular Or whatever trait your looking for.

I'm so excited to go through recruitment in a couple of weeks, but I have one big concern. I know that I will be very disappointed if I end up getting a bid to a lower tier chapter. Do you have to accept your bid? If I don't accept my bid, can I still rush at a top chapter later in the semester? I'm sorry about all the questions, but I just have really high standards and expectations, and this whole process is very confusing.

I'm going to be honest with you - pretty much EVERYONE feels this way at first, going through recruitment. If someone said they didn't I wouldn't believe them. Every PNM wants to rush the most popular house. But trust me, whether you get a bid to a low tier or high tier house, you will be happy in the end. You'll be disappointed at first, yeah, but not for long. Eventually you'll realize the real reason for joining a sorority - not the parties or the "popularity" or whatever, but to be a part of a really great circle of girls. And every house on this campus really does have great girls. People say "trust the system" because it works for the most part. I have had friends bawl their eyes out on bid day because they got a bid to a lower house... fast forward a month or two and they were completely in love with the house. Recruitment only shows part of the picture. No matter what house you get a bid to, stick with it and I PROMISE YOU you will love it. Maybe it'll take time, but you will.

Pretty much every girl going through recruitment is going through with an open-mind, which is the best thing you'll ever do. your preconceived notions may be wrong or proven wrong (i know mine were). i joined a house i didn't think i wanted before i came to mizzou and i can honestly say, it was the best decision of my life and i couldn't imagine myself in any other chapter!

Wow! This website depicts all the houses in a negative way. Being greek at Mizzou is nothing like this. People don't walk around talking bad about other houses or tiers, etc. Every house has something good to offer. Can everyone try to be positive on here until rush is over. Like my grandma used to say "if you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all". And PMNs remember, being Greek regardless what house is so much better than NOT being Greek.

...my guess is that you will be one of the girls bawling her eyes out after second round cuts.
I wish I could see your name, so we could drop you right off the bat. Girls like you make recruitment appear to be something horrible ("oh, did you see all of those girls crying when they got their schedules"?) and my guess is you will turn out to be somebody who has nothing nice to say about the entire Greek system when you don't get an invite back to Pi Phi, DDD, or Chi O, and drop out.
There are great girls in all the houses. I am in a "mid-tier" house, and I just get sick of hearing girls like you make these comments.
Unless your attitude improves, prepare for life as a GDI!

My guess is that after she gets dropped by her favorite houses and drops out of recruitment, she will tell anybody who will listen about how "superficial" the MU Greek system is.
There are a bunch of those every year.

If you look at this dumb website the Mizzou Greek system looks very superficial. Hopefully my house doesn't rush girls that stalk this site.

And then we'll have another psycho on this website, bashing houses and trying to start drama!

So..you have really high standards and expectations. So do we. What is your GPA? What is your high school involvement? High standards are great, but hard work, kindness and a great attitude will serve you better throughout recruitment AND life. No one likes a B!$@h, dear. Good luck.
