Less popular sororities

[brunetteddd]

Getting back to the original topic (not that I don't agree with everything the past few posts have said about not perpetuating negatives about specific chapters, let's be tactful here people!!), I know on my campus (which only has 4 Panhellenic sororities), there was one chapter going through recruitment that a lot of people seemed bad-mouth. However, once I went to their parties, I realized that this stereotype was in the eye of the beholder; it was a fairly new chapter on campus which was the smallest of the chapters (which is understandable, you have to give them time to grow, they're now on par with the other chapters and growing every year) but I LOVED them!! I understand why they were put down by a certain group of girls; that's because those girls are nothing like my (now) sisters and as a result they all belong to XYZ and fit in there just fine. But as for me, I'll repeat again what I said: a sorority is in the eye of the beholder; don't let other people taint your view of a chapter simply because you don't feel like giving them a fair chance.

Whatever happened to making your own decisions?

I agree with you BrunetteDDD 100%. There is a chapter at my school that has not made quota for a few years, and many girls on campus, and through rush, were rude to them and put them down. I learned through rush that they were an amazing group of sweet girls, it is really just their numbers that is the issue. I wish more girls would make their own decisions, and give this group a chance.
