My little sis had a roommate from one of the larger sororities on campus. This woman was double legacy of the chapter, and so she was really pressured to go that way. And in "really pressured" I mean her mom told her that she'd either join that sorority or none at all. Anyway, she looked at my roommate one day and asked, "You actually like your sorority, don't you?" This kinda proves to me that the grass is greener sometimes. The thing is, it goes both ways. Ask girls in a small chapter if they would join a large chapter, they'd say it just wasn't them, and ask girls in a large chapter if they'd join a small chapter, and they'd say it just wasn't them. Here's the other thing that frustrates me sometimes.... do the letters make the girls or do the girls make the letters? I'm fully convinced that whether I put on a DG jersey in the morning or an XYZ jersey in the morning, I'm still the same person, so why are we so hung up on reputations of sororities? I mean, to a certain extent it is true... it says something that I felt like I had the most in common with the DG's that I put them number one on my bid card, but that doesn't mean that I fit into the perfect mold stereotype of what people might think DG is. Anyway, that's the point of view from a girl who's wonderfully happy with her chapter.
