Recruitment at UGA

UGAalum94 · #1 07-25-2007, 10:19 PM

I think we're all reading more in to it than UGABlonde probably intended. She was trying to say nice stuff about the majority of chapters. Let's be generous and hope that she gets a group that she wants when she goes back through.

To the OP and anyone else rushing at UGA, go through, try to keep an open mind, and rank the chapters you like after prefs. Beyond that, the more you rule out first, the more likely you'll end up dropping out or feeling weird about your results even though the groups you have left are great (which if I remember correctly is what happened to UGAblonde the first time she went through. She recognizes now that some of the chapters she had when she dropped last year are great groups.)

Yet she left out five. Two of them are the traditionally Jewish ones, and two out of the other three are traditionally small from what other people said. She could have gone ahead and said something like "I don't know many people in the other chapters but I'm sure they are all great as well" or something like that, but she left them out. Totally. Like they were "lower class". And for me, that's what bothered me. Of course, seeing as SDT is one of the five that she left out didn't help either, but in some ways it didn't shock me.

This is the big piece of advice I have given my sister and her friends for their upcoming SEC rushes and I love the way you put it!

I do believe it is extrememly inappropriate to recommend one NPC sorority over another. The whole point of having NPC recruitment is having each pnm make her own judgement as to where she best fits in. That was our whole theme for Fall 2006 NPC recruitment. "Where do you fit in" and it was all about puzzle pieces. To ugablonde, you might fit in someplace different than someone else. To single out one or more sororities as better than any another is abhorable.

Lulz! Welcome to GC and to sarcasm.

ya'll are all sooo defensive... she asked and these are just my opinions. Sorry if i offended anyone on here, i didn't realize I would cause such a commotion. I'm not saying the houses I left out are horrible. I did rush last year, went to all the houses, etc. so my opinions are def. not just based on " reputations" and stereotypes....I am not that much of a "BETCH." And no, I'm not jewish, so why would I click with those sororities? Maybe you guys are so offended because what i said was close to the stereotypes you've heard... which, I hate to say it, but are pretty true, at least in my opinion. The truth hurts sometimes.

I know very sweet girls in most of them, I just personally didn't click with them. And i do encourage people rushing this year to keep an open mind to all houses. who knows, you might end up loving one of the houses I don't love. Its just my opinion and I think I have a right to voice it on here. If you don't like it, then you don't have to listen and come to the same conclusions as me. What do I know anyways right? If I'm so wrong then why not just ignore me instead of freaking out and coming back with really hateful and harsh comments? You don't know me.

and just for the record I don't think I'm rushing again this year after all. Don't think greek life is for me and i already have too much fun and amazing friends without it. Plus I cant move into my apt. until bid day so I have nowhere to stay. Also the whole process is just too fake. too bad for ya'll because i am pretty, fun, smart, and ya'll would be lucky to be my "sister." unfortunately I have much better things to do with my time and money. I have an identity without having to belong to a stereotypical sorority. cut me for all i care.... and have fun with that. I hope you feel extra good about yourself. k bye.

I'm the one who wants what you've got? hmm... what would that be? what do you sorority [deleted by Mod] have that I don't? just curious.

Best post ever.

(I don't think I would have felt that way until today's post from her, but now, oh yeah.)

Wow. I'm guessing ugablonde doesn't have very many friends that are of the jewish faith.

That's like saying of a sorority that 'only takes brunettes'..... "And no, I'm NOT brunette, so why would I click with that sorority?"

Well, she asked what the "best" houses at UGA were. I mean, there are several houses that I didn't click with at all during recruitment that I still consider to be among the best houses on campus in terms of involvement, presence on campus, and sisterhood. You don't have to want to be an SDT to admit that SDT has a great chapter, for example. Then again, maybe part of ugablonde's definition of a "great chapter" is that she has to personally click with the sisters.

I believe this is the case. I hope that the OP realizes that these are the chapters that ugablonde thinks are the best based on how many friends she has or how well she gets along with a chapter. That's COMPLETELY different from saying a chapter is great based on events, philanthropies, homecoming, etc.

Because maybe the girls were nice, fun or pretty and you liked them?

Oh, yeah, you would have to look at them as people first instead of Jews for that. My silly mistake.

If you didn't "click" with groups then you should have said that, not "these are the best chapters." There's a difference.

Oh and re the Chi O omittance, maybe she saw an owl flying in the shape of a Star of David and thought they were Jewish too.
