Ok, so I went out with some of my sorority sisters over the weekend and figured out why we're ranked so low still. Only about five girls out of my chapter of well over 100 wanted to go out, and once we were at a party we had bids for they mostly wanted to stick together and not dance or socialize with anyone else. Then they left that party early and tried to get into another at a "better" house without bids, while missing a second party we had originally been invited to. Frankly, I'm embarrassed by this behavior; it was impolite and overly concerned with status. As much as I like my sisters, I can definitely see where the bad rep comes from. What's most concerning is that one of the girls who did this was the social chair. I think I'm going to be on social committee this semester; any ideas how I can get girls to a) go out more b) be more outgoing and less standoffish, especially when we're someone's guests and c) have more self-respect and not be so obsessed with going to parties at "top" houses. If Jane Austen novels have taught me anything, it's that the easiest way to convince people you deserve to be in their social circles is to look like you don't care that much about being in their social circles. Thanks for any advice you can give me!
