Welcome to Greek Life!!
One sterotype that I have found at my school that we are a clic.
I didn't know a lot of my sisters when I pledged, we are now close but I do not spend every waking moment with them. People often think we were all friends before who pledged together or our friends pledged us which is not the case.
Another one I have had personally is that we don't have morals or values because we were pledged. I am a Christian and it's hurts when people say you had to do bad things to get it when they don't even really know what sororities are about. They see the greek letters and automatically think it is bad. I didn't sleep with anyone to get in, neither did I have to drink beer or run around naked. I still have the same values and morals that I have today. I didn't tell my Dad I was in a sorority till October and I have been a member since March. I was afraid he would be disappointed because my family has a strong christian backgroud but her was very supportive and he understood my reasons for joining. He also knows me as a person that I would not degrade myself to joing anything. He was just a little mad I waited so long to tell him. My Mom was supportive through the whole line process when I was pledging, so encouraged me to complete my assignments and attend meeting when I was suppose to. She understood the sorority mentality, which was a surprise to me because she was not born in this country.
