my peeve

ok- when i read your post- i was definately happy that someone had brought this up... I'm in a local chapter that has been around for 75 years- we don't have any interest with going national at the moment- but there is also 4 other national sororities on my campus- they are great girls too but we had a terrible reputation for a very long time b/c of the girls that were in at that time... In the past year or so this is starting to change and we have all sorts of different girls and word is spreading that we are on the up and up- but its very hard to break our past stereotypes and its extremely discouraging for new girls- esp me as i'm rush chair... We have all different girls- some heavy- some skinny- but all beautiful, fun and smart- we wouldn't have it any other way- but other people are too caught up in themselves to see it that way..... ahem...(frats)... they don't want to hang out with some of our girls... its not fair- and i def agree that its very frustrating... even our alumni who we got our bad name from are awesome- nobody just took the time to see them as we do..... for numbers though we have to change our image and market ourselves for our competition....has anyone else felt like this too??? i guess we'll see what happens at rush this year...wish us luck!
