And if your idea of being fun and social is watching Laguna Beach in pjs at the house, you're probably not going to have fun with women who want to play D&D every night.

like I said. Be a frat rat. Be the 5th wheel. You'll still be part of greek life that way. Twinkle Twinkle baby. Twinkle Twinkle.

oh my god. Every sorority needs to do this. EVERY SORORITY NEEDS TO DO THIS.

Will pillow fights follow as well? :confused:

AND BY "IN PJS" I MEANT "NAKED."

This is true. Or you can strive to be an AI frat rat.

Haven't posted in a while, but I need to put some pennies in this jar.

DO NOT initiate unless you are ABSOLUTLY POSITIVE that you are willing to make a LIFELONG commitment to this org. The ritual will not make your troubles go away, it may bring more meaning, but is not a miracle. I love my ritual and I get seriously irritated when people think that just by learning the ritual the clouds will clear and angels will sing. Not so much.

Sorority life is day to day interaction with women. Why do you need mixers w/ men if you have a boyfriend?? Aren't you looking for female friendships??? Stop worrying about meeting boys. I promise, few good relationships (with men) come from drinking in the basement of a fraternity house. (IMO)

Give it a shot, but if you can't reconcile your feelings with this group, you need to depledge, don't drag down nice girls because you have image issues. You will never be universally liked. Not even Mother Theresa has universal popularity. You have to get over the 'I want to be liked by everyone' mentality. It just isn't realistic. I'm not denying that there are emotional effects from chapter reps, but if you can't handle it two weeks in, you should check out.

:eek:

Crunchies, join whatever sorority she is in.

HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE :D :D :D

I vote this to be the best post on this thread.

Hey everybody! (I am not picking on you, Little E -- I've seen this statement a number of times in this thread and this is just the most recent one.) There's this awesome thing called "being friends with the opposite sex, in a completely platonic way." Y'all should look into it. ;)

Seriously, though, not every girl wants to hang out with girls ALL THE TIME. Even if you have a boyfriend, you can still want to hang out with guys. Acquiring a boyfriend does not mean locking yourself in a tower with only girls for company. You can enjoy fraternity mixers, enjoy dancing or just talking to guys without there having to be an ulterior motive.

Not to mention that some people are realistic enough to realize that most college relationships do not last throughout college, and it would be nice to someday have the option. . . .

Basically, we are. This is part of my original response to her post:
We just have slightly different views on what constitues "social" opportunities.
First we all need to make sure we all have the same understanding of the term "social." To me personally, social would include mixers, date parties, formals, dinner exchanges -- things you do with other fraternities/sororities. And yes, these are important aspects of membership.

I associate hanging out in pjs watching Laguna Beach or going to DQ or Target as aspects of sisterhood rather than social opportunities. I think that's why we're getting so much hostility--people define "social" as only those mixer-type events.

Hypocrite much.

I just love how it is okay for you to jump on her case for her behavior on this thread and in life but it isn't okay for me to express my opinion and my thoughts on her situation.

with that said how about we agree to disagree.

At least we all agree on one thing, if she doesn't like it after a little more time of getting to know people, she should quit.

With that said, how about you point out where I jumped "on her case for her behavior on this thread and in life."
