General sorority reputations
 

Hey! I'm definitely planning on joining a sorority and am really curious as to what the general reputations of the most popular sororities are. Who are the biggest partiers, the most pretentious... just general things like that.

thanks,
Jen

sorry, but i bet no one here is going to give you the answer you're looking for. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif

it TOTALLY depends on which school you're talking about. national sororities have lots of chapters at colleges across the country and internationally. each individual chapter, because it is on a different campus, might attract a different "type" of girl. for example, sorority ABC at Univ. of Michigan might be known as the richest, most beautiful girls on campus, and be super-exclusive, while the ABC chapter at UT could be known as the fat bookworms, and the chapter might not make cuts during rush. same national sorority, different chapters at different schools, and VERY different reputations.

you didn't tell us where you're going to college, but it won't take you long to figure out the answer for yourself once you're on campus. i'm sure any upperclass fraternity brother would be happy to give you the rundown on who's who among the sororities. you can use this secondhand info to get a basic idea of how the house is seen by the rest of the campus, but don't take others' opinions too seriously. guys are often misinformed about which type of girl gets into certain houses. you'll really have to see for yourself during rush.

You & I are in similar situations. I am also planning to rush & have been looking into the greek system since I was a sophomore in high school. My advice to you is, once you figure out which school you will be attending, contact those who oversee the student organizations or jump on the school's website & search for their student organizations. This way you can view the different sororities web pages & if you are interested in certain groups you can contact some of the girls & I know they'd be happy to talk to you & even take you around campus or spend time with you. I did this & it was the best thing I could have done. I have met so many people & made many friends & rush has not even begun. This will not only make rush go smoother for you, but it will make school in general easier because you will know so many people. Good Luck!
