There hasn't been much recently and I thought I'd start a little controversy... (sp?)
Since I have joined D Phi E, my sorority has won nothing except for one (!) 3rd place trophy for Blood in Greek Week and awards at Convention (where I know it matters most). I know that we should be proud of all of my chapter's accomplishments (and I am, trust me, I will sit down and tell you all about it) but sometimes it gets hard to remember all you accomplished. The younger sisters really really want to win something in Greek Week this year. Me and the other older sisters telling them that we win and succeed where it matters most is becoming a broken record. (I'm getting sick of saying it too.)
Does it seem at any other schools like the same sororities just reshuffle their placement any time an award is given out? Like for Greek Week or Derby Days or Paddy Murphy? I love my chapter and am really just venting.
I just came from a competition where another sorority won third place doing some of the most obscene things I have ever seen on a stage ever. (And the saddest part ever was that it was to a song that we considers OURS.) Yet they won third place and we placed fifth or sixth out of six. I don't think we should have placed that low - there was clearly a first and second place performace. However, there was a tie for third and somewhere in the shuffle, and another placed where they clearly shouldn't have. And also the obscene sorority placed.
Basically what I'm asking is if there exists a prejudice towards some sororities when it comes to competitions. I know I was taught to think this way as a new member and I've never seen any evidence to think otherwise. I've never seen two smaller houses paired up that have placed in any event ever - and I'm a senior! Basically I'm just frustrated and figured I would give everyone something to think about.
And on the gossip front, when I say obscene, I mean Christina-Aguilera-in-her-new-video obscene. Just throwing a gossip bone out there.
Just a vent...
