I’m trying to get my sister to give rush a chance. My older brother is very anti Greek, when I was pledging he told my parents they were going to brand me with a hot iron and haze me. My parents have no idea what Greeks do. They hear all the stereotypes from my brother and all the good things from me. They were very confused for a period of time. My sister doesn’t know much about it either. She goes to an all girl catholic school and the teachers actually told them that sororities were evil and they should never join; basically called them dens of sin. I guess it’s a good thing my sister doesn’t listen to anyone.
I really didn’t think my sister was thinking about rushing until she came to visit me at college she stayed with me in the house and everyone treated her like she was their little sister, they gave her and her friend shirts from our last party. She got a chance to meet real live sorority girls and on the 4 hour drive home she and her friend kept asking questions about being in a sorority.
She still has a year before she goes to college but when ever I bring up SigEp or a sorority she is really interested. Except for the show sorority life she never watches it but that could be a good thing. But overall I would say exposing Greek life to her really helped kind of put a name to the term “sorority” and “fraternity" and helped with the sterotypes.
