( I have two KKG friends at another school). What do they look for? Any clothing/ fashion advice? How were the girls? Any tid bits at all will be really appreciated.

I am not looking at them for the elitism or prestige etc. I understand my opinion will likely change when I rush but for now, they are my goal. Thanks!

Second, just because your friends are KKG doesn't mean you should/have to be KKG. Third, you need to ask questions about IU, not IU KKG or KKG in general.

No one should be your goal. That puts a bias in your mind before you start recruitment. If you go to the parties and decide you love ABC or XYZ, for all means, go for it, but don't go for a chapter just because your friends are.

Besides, if you have to ask us about what they're looking for, you're not being yourself. If you're not being yourself, you're not allowing yourself the opportunity to find your true home.

I really encourage you to keep an open mind, because IU has a great Greek life and anyone should feel excited to be a part of any chapter there. Good luck in recruitment when it happens. Be yourself. Go where your heart thinks you belong, not where you know your friends (from other schools) belong.

Sorry for the rant, but as a KKG, it's not fair to us if you try and manipulate your way in by acting like someone other than yourself. More so, it's not fair to the other chapters there that you aren't giving a chance completely.

I am just wanting to know more about them than what I have gathered from campus. And I am not interested in kkg merely because my friends are, I have plenty of other friends from different sororities. I am very confident in myself and would not alter my image to fit a sorority. Thanks!

I was simply asking a harmless question on KKG. I am not looking to force my way into it or that intensly interested. You don't need to look into it that deeply or be so guarded and upset. I thought the idea of a forum was asking questions. I am coming to the conclusion that maybe sororities are not that nuturing and supportive and that you are all a bit obsessed with yourselves. I was figuring since you all preach "sisterhood", that you would be helpful. I am going to return to reality now. So long.

I am not asking for tips on how to get in. I either fit or I don't fit. What I do want to know is how the kappas are at IU. I would like to know more about them not what they look for in girls. I think people are flattering themselves a little too much to think I am that coo-coo over kappa. I am not in a frenzy to get in, I am not obsessed to get in, I am not awed by them; I am interested in them, or rather was. GET OVER YOURSELF!

It was a question. Not a plea written in blood to get into Kappa. I really should not have bothered explaining myself but I think some of the girls on here need to come back to earth. I didn't profess love with them so to say I did makes you look very full of yourself.

When I say "you", I mean the ppl this pertains to. I challenge anybody to find a quote where it was supposedly apparent that I am "dying to get in" or that I want to be in a sorority "sooo bad". This forum seems like a community that is used to whiny girls who ask how to get into sororities too often and get upset by newbies who they assume are acting in that manner.

You came HERE.
That's pretty obvious
We are not the people who need over ourselves.

And lol @ you saying you're no longer interested in KKG or sorority membership as if someone is going to say "oohhhh nooooo, please be interested in us again."

We don't discuss chapter reputations or member selection procedures on this forum. Period. If that's what you're looking for, you will NOT find it here.

IF YOU WANT TO GET TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE KAPPAS AT IU, TRY TALKING TO THEM AND MAKING FRIENDS WITH THEM OUTSIDE OF RUSH. THAT'S WHAT DEFERRED RUSH IS FOR. NOT TO MENTION YOU HAVE BEEN THERE FOR A DAMN YEAR ALREADY.

The stuff I have been hearing on campus is not very flattering but I figured that is just people slandering their name but then again maybe I am wrong. Thank you for pointing that out because I was not planning on bringing that up. Don't believe me you can also check out greekrank, its not a pretty picture at all. They are ranked the worst right now. I was hoping to hear otherwise from you girls but so far it looks like you are holding up the the reputation of being bitches. yeah, ouch.

And I also love how in the links you provided me, the same members were total assholes to the girl who started the thread on IU recruitment. It seems bitchiness is a trend here. What a great attitude you girls have. You tried to turn this negativity on me but really just showed your true colors by your repeated behavior and unkindness to others on here.

Yeah, I did, so far, have a preference for KKG and Chi Omega. They both appeared to have nice girls. So yes, i did have a preference but I was itching to get in either.

Oh...I thought you said you were leaving...? And by you saying earlier that it's not like you were desperate to get into a sorority and then itching to get in to Kappa or Chi Omega, that kind of contradicts it. If you really don't care, why do you have such a severe preference?



Even if we had patted you on the head and gave you a gold star for your attitude and praised you for it, not all Kappas are the same. Each girl is different, and each campus is different.
Also, you say you're aware that it's biased info but you still have the idea that rumors are true, why would you want to be a part of Kappa so badly then? (Enough to ask about the Kappa ways).

And an online website? That doesn't really pertain to how the dynamic of a sisterhood. IU is very competitive in Greek life and I have no doubt people rate down other chapters, sad as it is. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but as a competitive school, IU cuts many freshmen. Sophomores face even harsher cuts at any competitive Greek school.

And if we were holding up the reputation of being bitches, I'm sure you'll get an automatic bid. However, we aren't. We're just telling you that it's foolish to go in as a sophomore and expect/hope for two chapters.

I advise you to think before you go on the Internet. It's not as anonymous as you'd like to think.

PS. Don't tell us to get over ourselves. It's taken pretty badly when someone appears to only want one or two chapters at a competitive school. If anyone needs to get over themselves, it's you.
