TarHeelMom, I'm glad you told her to consider sticking it out. As someone who has attended various institutions for school, I can tell you that reputations of sororities and fraternities vary from school to school. I've seen what are known as "top tier" sororities at my undergraduate institution be viewed as "bottom tier" sororities at some of my graduate institutions. Conversely, I've watched girls act like they were too good for what they viewed as "bottom tier" sororities at my undergraduate institution, as they cried that they got that bid while girls who got cut by that same sorority at my graduate institution were beyond crushed. Sisterhood is more than four years. It's for life. I can guarantee you that whatever sorority she joined at UNC has very strong chapters at other great schools where girls would be thrilled to get a bid to that sorority. Also, when someone tells me they are Greek from another well-respected university, I don't think, "Well, I wonder if they were top or bottom on their campus." I just think, "Wow. This person went to a great school (like UNC) and they were Greek. They must have had a really cool collegiate experience." Good luck to her.
