However, the younger girls coming into the system are generally less likely to be catty about other groups (at least in my sorority) and I hope this is a trend that sticks. I really hate hearing one sorority talk bad about another, no matter which sorority is on the receiving end. I can think of something bad about every sorority (including my own) and something good about every sorority (including our "rivals"), but I'd rather focus on the good.

That's so true about your system...I have heard so much trash talk from girls in it, and it's always about another sorority I have friends in!
Our system is horribly catty. One of the locals accused us of "stealing" SigEp from them.
It got to the point where, when I was still pledging, I was over at the SigEp house WITH MY BOYFRIEND and was asked to leave "because Gamma Phis aren't welcome here" by one of their pledges. Probably not.
It got into a big competition with the organizational webpages...The other local says founded in 1991 (or whenever) but the one that tried to kick me out said "oldest sorority founded on this campus" or some BS like that to sound older than us. Our description now says "Founded as a local sorority in 1867, one year after the university founded, we were selected to become a Gamma Phi Beta chapter in 1969." I am not going to miss that isht
at all..
Marquette seems to be relatively Panhellenic, although a girl in one house didn't believe me that Gamma Phi Beta was NPC. I asked her what sorority the Greek advisor was in (the GA is my
chapter sister) and once she found out, instead of apologizing, she said "Oh, well, whatever, your chapter here closed." Yeah, I know, otherwise I would have affiliated.
