Tri Sigma Rocks! They have a reputation for the being the pretty girls. The ones I know are really nice too

We didn't have Tri Sigma at my school.I have had the opportunity in the past of hiring 3 Tri Sigma's and if they are representative of their total organization,I would have to say they are wonderful.They came from different campuses but each had the same excellent qualities and attitudes.

Hate to be rude, but they are known as Tri-Pigs... they started pretty recently and were bidding anyone and everyone to get numbers. Unfortunately, the greek system is small enough that once a house gets a rep for that, it's hard to shake. Sorry.

sorry there are not too many tri sigmas in MD, but the one chapter I heard of was said to be very mean, and stuck up, and since I don't know first hand , maybe it's false

I'm not so sure I agree with pirate00. I think that is a bit harsh to say.
I feel Sigma fits ECU's party scene very well, but I wouldn't say they are known to be loose blondes. Even if it were true I wouldn't say it that way.
Sigmas are always downtown and having a good time, they recruit fun girls because obviously they enjoy that type of member. Sigma has been on campus since 1960 and gets their girls one way or another so, by their standards they are doing well and I say go for it, every chapter has a different personality and they always get a bad rap for theirs.
We need to remember that the System functions as a whole and we cannot be so quick to judge, we need each chapter we have in order to be a system, no matter how different we all are.

hey I would definately have to disagree with pirate00. The Sigmas at ECU that I know are very nice girls and they like to have fun.

I'm a Tri Sig at ECU and I really hate that that's the way we come across to people. Our chapter has worked very hard in the past few years to overcome some problems we've had and I think we've done a very good job. And recently we've been getting a lot of praise from our national and regional officers so I think our chapter represents Sigma just fine, pirate00.
I'm not even going to address the comment about us being "stuck-up, loose blondes" because it's a stereotype that has been used to describe several groups on campus and it's not true for any one of us.
Yes, we do like to have a good time and go out but that's not all there is to us. We have been very involved in campus activities this year and we've been doing a lot of fundraising as well. Besides, if you judged every organization just on the members you see downtown we'd all be characterized as a bunch of partiers.
I would not trade being a Sigma for anything. My chapter is a very diverse and close-knit group of girls and I think one of the reasons we may be perceived as "stuck-up" is because we have to deal with a lot of ignorant stereotypes like pirate00's and we've learned just to ignore them (and the rumors that go with the stereotypes).
Thank you ecukd, for at least being supportive, although I wish your comments had been more positive.

And yet another shining example of why we should not have these "what do you think of my org?" posts....

DGPhoney · #10 03-21-2001, 07:14 PM

Yup!

The tri's are probably the smallest sorority at my school (out of four). They are all wonderful girls, though. I've gotten along with every tri I've ever met. They seem to be more academically oriented (basically a higher sorority GPA). So, they are great

I think I remember saying that exact same thing a few months ago.

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I cringe everytime I read about a GLO being described in a negative way, regardless if it's the truth or not... I know we all hate reading posts that portray our GLOs negatively, and I really don't see why people keep on asking these type of questions.
