A local sorority at USC?

We all know that we discuss reputations on here, you dumb fuck! Your post merely encourages them. I'd quote it but I am seriously hoping that you remove that part.

Joining a sorority is not about reputations. It is so much more; friendship, sisterhood, ritual, traditions and more to name a few. It is for a life time. Women need to realize that.
You have no idea what is like to be in those chapters. And for the lower tier chapter, try telling them that their sisterhood is less valuable. Try telling them that their BFF is sub-par or "nobody". You can't rank that. You can't rank the life long friendships and sisterhood.

trojanpride: Rank this! <middle finger in the air!>

Hey, I'm not condoning this behavior, but USC has a very unique and strange social scene. Girls join sororities for much much more, I understand that. Same for guys in frats. This is where the OP is off. I have friends in all of the chapters I mentioned, and none of them fit those types but that's the point! It's messed up. Nasty reps about sororities are like stone at SC, and it shouldn't be that way.

I'm trying to convey to an anonymous board what a very specific environment is like. There are very many things wrong with it (but there are many, many things great about it). The OP sees it, 28thStGreek sees it, and so do I. There are tons of valuable facets of the Row, which is why I choose to be a part of it. I'm not in a top top frat or anything. It's hard for someone who isn't attending USC at this very moment to understand what we're talking about. The stereotypes offended you and they should, but that's what they are here and my point is that it's batshit crazy.

Edit: I know that what I've posted has been downright offensive but imagine how it is for students at USC right now: When a friend says what house she's in she has to go out of her way to prove she's not slutty. Guys in frats have to prove they're not "creepers" or gay or a bunch of other things. Girls I've talked to have lost interest once they ask me what house I'm in and I'm in a middle tier. Guys hook up with top tier girls just to say they did. It's bad. I'm sure it's that way at other big Greek systems and all that but it's not good.

This is obviously the bad side of Greek that USC's focused on recently, particularly freshman keyed into collegeACB. We have high GPAs, successful philanthropies, well-established houses, large chapters, great alumni, but scandals and anonymous gossip websites are ruining us.
