I'm trying to remember, like someone else said, that not all the girls are like this. I wish the best for littlemissvixen and I hope that means she ends up in a place where other girls might be a good influence on her. Truly, I'm not trying to sound like some goody two shoes, I'm trying to convince myself that I should still give recruitment a try.  |
It all depends on the school's greek system. In really competitive systems, all of this really matters. You have to get past the popularity component before you can find out if you can have a connection with the groups. In smaller systems like at my alma mater, it's no problem. Sorority life is much more than pretty girls and pretty dresses (though there is nothing wrong with wanting to look your best!) I've become more of a feminist through the years. I truly believe that EVERY woman would benefit from and enrich the greek system. We can't change the ugly parts of recruitment until someone is brave enough to make the change. If you do decide to rush (and there are GREAT reasons to do so!) just be prepared to look past the superficial, ignore the gossip and decide for yourself what is right for you!
P.S. I'm blonde but smart, too!
