I was just the messenger from what my older friend said. Pi Phi isn't a sorority that I know people around here join. I would think it is more of a Northern girl sorority. Everyone joins the typical 5 around here and in the South. 90% of everyone I know pick out of the 5. To find out chapter info it is on their website with the founding dates.

Sorry for the mistake also, I thought William & Mary as well as Purdue were private because they are $$$$.

Well you think wrong, are terribly uninformed and are being insulting. It would probably be a good idea to STFU now and concentrate on getting a bid.

Hmm.. at our formal, we invite our chapter advisers and we, of course, have a sober Risk Management team (SPERM). All of the crazy stuff happens, though, after they leave. I don't think it's planned, I just think it's coincidental; The later it gets, the drunker everyone is. I will admit that I have a quite destructive campus, though.
My chapter actually had a formal quite similar to the one this Pi Phi chapter had, but not quite as disgusting... we were charged for damages and missing items, though.

I think it's all based on campus climate...

I wasn't miss informed. She does have a point, girls that parents' pay $20, $30, $40 k a semester have more stict of parents and better behaved. They have more pressure on them to succeed than school that cost less than $10 a semester. I am not saying you have to be rich to go to a school that is expensive but if you are then you probally have been taught how to act in society and being a heavy legacy chapter you are more prideful about your image. I am sure her chapter has had wild parties and aren't always perfect "Angels" but if they get caught they would have more to lose so they over all act better. As far as being insultive maybe it was rude but it isn't a lie, everyone knows the 5 sororities you go to in Tennessee and most of the South. The truth doesn't have to be cotton candy skies and skittle trees.

No, but it does have to be true.
I'm bored and can't sleep so for kicks I corrected some of the errors in your post. You are welcome.

If everyone knows the five sororities one goes to in Tennessee and most of the South, then why doesn't every school south of Mason-Dixon have these five and no others? And it isn't only rich people who know how to "act in society." In my experience, it's the so-called rich who act up - they know they can buy their way out of trouble. Those of us who aren't rich know we are responsible for our words and actions and that any trouble we get into will follow us, maybe not for life, but certainly through our college careers.

ETA: My sorority is about as Northern as it gets, having been founded in Maine. Why, then do we have thriving chapters at both Memphis and Tennessee if we are not one of the southern Favored Five?

"Miss Informed" - is this from Toddlers and Tiaras? Perhaps it is pageant for those with less "stict" (SIC) parents?

But I really like "cotton candy skies and skittle trees" - I'm sure that's what they have in HPRL.

"Miss Informed" would know what she is talking about. You are misinformed.

Well bless your heart for sharing. Now we all know that the way things work in your hillbilly neck of the woods (where people apparently lack class, manners and basic language skills) is the way things work everywhere. Your little hamlet is the center of western civilization. You are not Greek. You have no basis for your ridiculous assumptions. Now go back to the University of Memphis, take some remedial classes, move out of your mommy's house and pray that some sorority might possibly take you someday.

Are you fucking kidding me?????? If anything, it's the reverse.

Although you certainly right about not being Miss Informed.

Why is it that people who insist that wealth, membership in specific organizations and physical location indicate class are always so obviously lacking it?

One of my friends went to Tennessee so I am vaguely aware of the perceived tiers, but if you're talking about just 5, you're missing out on at least 2-3 other sororities that are considered particularly strong in the South (and at Tennessee).

What do you expect from a non-Greek trying to edjumicate us about the Greek system at a school she doesn't even attend? ;)
