That said, being open-minded is good. Sometimes the most popular sororities are not the right ones for you (that was the case with myself), and you really do need to go with the one YOU like best.

This quote, posted on the thread "thinking about rushing" got me thinking.
WOULD you?
What is a bad reputation, anyway? To be frank, I barely joined my chapter because we were "ugly, nerds and non-party girls". Something in my heart told me to try it. Now that I'm in the chapter I see the reputation as totally different: "intelligent, fun but not drunk or slutty, diverse, open-minded". The chapter I was torn between is known as big in service and a big party chapter. But now, I see them as a bit sketchy--nice girls, but a bit drunk/skanky and not having a very strong sisterhood. There is definately different reputations for freshmen and fraternity men and then for sorority women. So---I joined the "least cool" (yeah right, we rule!) chapter on campus and adore it--but now think that some of the other chapters have far worse repuations in other ways. What do y'all think?
