GET OVER IT! Either offer adivce or leave it alone. Don't drag things out otherwise. Its just wasting my time as well as yours. No one forced you to write a response. There is way too much self importance and angst on here. And I am ridiculous trying to justify myself to a bunch of angry, underfed, over tanned, self-important sorority girls.
Take out your anger on issues that matter and stop wasting it on trying to harrass newbies. I am not broken up by this and it isn't going to affect me. I will keep on living my blessed life.

IU317, I will offer you some honest advice. You must understand that when you come onto a website that attempts to promote panhellenic spirit, it is discouraging for any of the sorority women on here to hear disparaging remarks made about their sorority (even if you didn't personally say it and you found it on Greekrank, Juicy Campus, etc.). I know you were asking for information regarding Kappa Kappa Gamma.
I am a graduate of Penn State (and NOT IU) but, I will say one thing: Kappa Kappa Gamma, as well as all of the other NPC sororities on your campus, are incredible. You came on here asking about KKG and the women on here are trying to tell you not to get your heart set on just one or two sororities. They are really trying to caution you.
Normally, I would answer your question in an abrasive manner because I hate more than anything when people sit around and "rank" or put sororities into "tiers" because I personally believe all the NPCs offer something wonderful for a college experience.
Please keep in mind that all sororities (NPC, specifically-since I am only a member of an NPC sorority) have great philanthropies (which is another term for community service). IU is very competitive in regards to recruitment. So not to step on anyone's toes, I will say (once again) that I graduated from Penn State so I only really know about the competitive nature of IU based on talking to sisters from the IU chapter and reading things on Greek Chat. From what I understand (as has also been stressed in this thread) going into recruitment as anything other than a Freshman may be a little more of a hurdle for you. Because you are not going in as a Freshman (and I would say this even if you were a freshman) you should take into consideration EVERY sorority at IU because you should maximize your options.
Joining a sorority was one of the best things I have ever done. I wish you luck and hope it works out. Go in with an open mind and stay positive.
