[ASUADPi]

Honestly and I hate to sound all bitchy and high and mighty, but I think it boils down to jealousy.

People tend to diss things that they don't understand because they are not a member of.

Sororities are selective. That's just the way it has been and will always be.

I mean let's take FR for example: At ASU about 700 girls go through FR. Only about (and I'm guessing here) 1/3 (about 233 girls) will make a house. So that means over 450 girls either were cut or dropped out of FR. If your a PNM and you are cut and you desperately wanted to be in a house, it could lead to some serious jealousy of the members in a house. I'm not saying that this is always the case but I think that this has some bearing to why Greeks are given such a bad name.

Another example, there was this girl at U of A who I guess was constantly rushing ADPi. She would go through FR, put us down (I guess we then dropped her, before my time). She then went through spring rush with me. Didn't get a bid. Then went through two more COB (COR) events, again didn't get a bid. I then heard through sisters that she signed up for FR again. I can't say that I remember anything about this girl or why we didn't give her a bid, but something like this, a person so desperate to join and not become a member could really 'hurt' their view of Greek life in general. So in her mind, we might be the bad people because we didn't offer her a bid.


I'm just trying to make the point that there are a culmination of things that leads society to not understand us. Movies give us a bad name. Books are now giving us a bad name. People 'talking' give us all a bad name.



I just really, really wish that people would stop looking at Greeks in the negative light and start seeing the positive that comes out of being affiliated with a Greek chapter. All the work we do in a community, our philanthropic work, our GPA's, awards we have won, all of that great stuff.
