My daughter is HOME! She has very finite ideas on this subject. Here, two of LSU chapters are at the local college.
They don't have any knowledge of other chapters. When she goes to N.O. there is a whole different attitude. Alums from LSU have a different attitude as well. In her opinion, she is in THE best sorority because the way she places a "value" on a house may differ from how a rushee places a value on a house. Then,there is something called Old Row and New Row...I have no idea what that is all about. She was talking about such things as drinking in letters, pictures on the web with girls smoking, STANDING while smoking, drinking and dancing at the same time... Her values of judgement boil down to how her chapter presents itself in public, GPA, alum org, involvement in the community etc. Inside the system, I think a lot of people rethink their prior opinions, and, much IS self propagated.
If you asked around here what DG was like, only those who had interaction through LSU, Baton Rouge or N.O. would have a real opinion. Go to N.O or Baton Rouge and it's considered pretty darn good. So, I guess the whole thing boils down to who you ask AND if you care. Her best friend went to three pref parties.
If you assume LSU has three tiers, you could say each one was represeted. The funny thing is, she considered DG above the other, but then she is from N.O. Here, the "other", that is reresented at our local college, cut several of our girls and they felt like nothing else mattered. My daughter specifically didn't want to share her letters with some of the local girls because of their reputations. She just couldn't call them "sisters". They knew who pledged because it was published prior to LSU rush.
