Spring Break Mistake?

Just wear socks with your sandals during recruitment -- you'll be fine.

Laughing along with you!

I agree that you probably want to hide the tatoo for recruitment, SEC colleges can be very conservative.

so basically if you want a sorority that judges you by how much your parents make, where you buy your clothes, or like what country you vaca'd in this summer.... Like totally cover that tattoo... what are you a biker chick?!?!


If you want to join a sorority for the sisterhood and the other great principles sororities were founded on. Be who you are.

"those who mind dont matter... those who matter dont mind."

It gets really hot in the South during traditional recruitment (Mid-August to early September). I would suggest sandals. You can be who you really are and still cover up that tatoo.

Ok, girls in thongs! (not the sandal ones)

That cute little saying doesn't work in many real world settings.

I don't know about what you learned in your English classes, but I was always taught that a question mark implies a question. If they recently changed this in the grammar books please let me know. (I know I don't have perfect grammar before you make a comment about my writing style.) Also I believe it was her mother that implied it was a mistake and she was wondering if her mother was correct. If she felt it was a mistake she could always go get laser surgery to remove it.

Who are you to judge me and how many real world experiences I have been through. I wouldn't use the quote if it hadn't repeatedly proven itself correct to me throughout my life.


I could judge you and say well of course that isn't true to you. You "appear" to hang out with people that judge you based on appearance and social status. <--- but that is not my place to pass judgement.

Whether tats/piercings are "acceptable" or not depends on the school/company you're at and the region you're in. Period.

SEC schools are super super conservative as far as dress and body modification. (From some of the things said on here, I wouldn't be surprised if multiple earrings were enough to get you cut.) If you want to be in a sorority at an SEC school, you should cover your tattoo during rush. If that concept bothers you, you probably will not have fun in a sorority at an SEC school. That doesn't mean you wouldn't have fun at a sorority elsewhere.

OP - if you do choose to cover it up, try Dermablend.

Ignoring whatever the heck your other tangents were about.

That's personal. But congrats on that.

It is important for people to know that there are people who will mind certain things and their opinions will matter depending on the context. Period.
