I see statements like this one pretty often on GC. But, in reality, don't all of our organizations have members who started out like this? There are people out there who choose majors, jobs, cars, mates, etc. based on popularity, money, etc.

Those same people are in our organizations. You'd hope over time that we'd all begin to realize what's important in life.

In any case, when GCers advise PNMs and aspirants not to look at the most popular organizations, but to find the organizations they fit best into...well, what if the organization they fit into is an organization that is composed of people who are concerned about looks, popularity and money?

We all want different things out of life.

If i were you i would quit worrying so much about being in a top house and find a group of girls that you fit into. that's what being in a sorority is about. it isnt about being with the most popular girls on campus, or whose prettier. that's shallow. and if those are the reason you want to be in a sorority then you should really rethink your decision. a sorority is about finding a bond that you will share with these women forever. and who cares about what your friend thinks? if she doesnt talk to you just because you go to a different house, then she wasnt your friend in the first place.

It also makes me think of an older GC thread where someone (crazy azul bat guano, perhaps) asked what the bbq meant and Dionysus(? maybe?) said, "Bitch, be quiet!" Ah, good times.)

LMAO i thought it was just BBQ as in, ribs, chicken, etc. because i read it aloud as "oh my god what the f*ck barbeque" which makes no sense but is funny to me.

cause i liken various GC threads to a hot plate of unexpected grilled meat, mentally exclaiming "OMGWTFBBQ."

I'm sure out there is a sorority woman who just joined to meet a husband and wound up national president. The thing is the utter lack of social skills about the OP's posts.

The one sorority on my campus that I thought was just about being popular - I've seen these girls 20 years later, and there are still true bonds there. I think any chapter that's only about status and has no bonding whatsoever won't last.
