Sorry to jump on teh bandwagon, but I'm wondering how my Theta sisters are doing around the country... feel free to be open and honest.

Thanks

I hate to say it, but my memories of Theta are not exactly fantastic. There were a coupld of sweeties in there, i remember the President being a great girl and a wonderful greek and i'm sure she still is. But, we did Greek Week with them, and well, to have only 10 girls out of a house of about 80 show up to events was pretty apathetic. Kind of tarnished my image of their pride in their letters by their lack of drive but, they might be different now. Then again, that was only last semester. Definetly not a bad house, like I said, some girls were awesome, but, I really thought they would hold themselves to a higher standard.

Just one word is needed: Outstanding. In every way. I admire the Thetas' sisterhood, activities, involvement, they're a great group at Texas Tech.

I'm very sorry to hear that

. I hope that my sisters will get back that spirit next time around!

TechAPhi, that is wonderful

Eh, the Thetas here don't have a very positive image...I guess within the Greek system they're liked by a lot of the fraternities for being "hot partiers" or whatever, but they're pretty much the stereotypical "sorority girl", and not respected at all by the campus community as a whole. I do know a couple of nice ones, but they seem to be the exception rather than the rule.

greek girlie · #6 12-09-2001, 10:28 PM

The Thetas here are snobs of the highest order. I know a lot of nice girls in the chapter. The chapter as a whole is very snobby. Even the girls I'm friends with tend to think that (when it comes to their sorority) they are better than everyone else.

We have a basement song about them that goes along with their "Boom Boom" song. It's hilarious but I don't want to post it here because it's not nice.

Well.. I hate to see some of these replys I am use to only seeing positive things about theta with just a few negatives...Every sorority has there snobby "typical sorority/fraternity" appeal. But I am very proud to be a Kappa Alpha Theta. Theta is one of the oldest fraternities around and is still going strong and is greatly respected by many. So before you start bashing my organization look at your own is it perfect at every school....hmmm probably not. And to the girl who's chapter has a song about us...that shows pure class.

Thetas at A&M were very strong when i was there. Very smart -I sooo admired them for that. They were defintely a strong house.

BTW the question says to be open and honest, I think Greek Girlie was doing this. Unfortunately when these questions are asked you have to take the good with the bad-especially if says be open and honest.

The girl who asked for feedback said to be open and honest - thats just what people are doing so don't get upset when they do. My pride in my sorority comes from not only our strengths but in knowing that we will come together and work on the weaknesses.

Sigh. I really hate to be mean, but to be honest the Thetas here are the snobby ones who are all blonde and tan. For the longest time I had a horrible connotation with the Thetas, but actually this year I've gotten to know a few of them and have seen that they aren't as bad as the reputation shows them to be. Overall they are a strong chapter and really that's all that is important, right?

AlphaChiGirl · #11 12-10-2001, 12:53 AM

Everyone's got at least one basement song going around about them...do we need to jump on that one person who admits it?

We have to realize that sometimes you hear good stuff, sometimes you hear bad. There are at least 150 Theta chapters, they can't all be perfect, can they?

With that in mind, my school's chapter. They've gotten recruitment infractions for various things (going over budget), they dirty-rushed me, and basically do whatever it takes to get a big pledge class (promise girls better housing, etc). I'm not chastising them for this, as my chapter did this in the past (before I came on board) They have a fairly high attrition rate. On an individual level, some of the girls in the house are some of my favorite people ever. They are smart, sweet girls who just happened to be in a sorority where some less than honest women ran the show. This will all change next year, as one of the "smart, sweet" girls will be running the show. I wish them the best of luck.

Your sister asked a valid question and is entitled to honest answers. Undoubtedly, we all love our organizations and think they are the best and THAT is what counts the most!

I wasn't being disrespectful. I was telling the truth. We have basement songs about every chapter here. Most houses do on my campus. Our Theta one is particularly funny. I didn't post it-that would have been rude. If you can't handle what people may say-don't click on the thread. Start a thread that says "Only say good things about XYZ"

Thetas Rocks!!!
My sister is a Theta at Fresno State, one of my good friends from high school is a Theta at Cal Poly SOL, and my "greek twin" is a Theta here at SDSU. I love all the Thetas!!! You girls rock!

I wasn't bashing anyone or anything, I know Theta is strong nationally, and I never claimed that my GLO is perfect everywhere either. Sheesh. She asked for honest perceptions - deal with it.
