Re: Gamma Phi Beta: the sorority has a great national reputation and they have done very well at many southern schools where they started new chapters, UGA included. Being a very southern girl myself, having relatives all across the southern states and cousins who were in sororities at Bama, I think it is very ignorant for anyone to speak badly of a house. I hope GPhiB continues to thrive there and surpass the expectation of any naysayers. As for some of the houses having some snobby attitudes toward newer sororities. I learned this from being at a big SEC school in a very well established sorority: we had advisors and juniors/seniors speak to girls in our chapter who started to talk negatively about other sororities. They explained how such behavior perpetuates stereotypes, rumors and is just very unpanhellenic. In addition, they wanted the girls in our house to be more ladylike and humble, and be secure enough in themselves that they did not feel the need to bash others. To be above that type of behavior, if you will.

I did a quick search of my own sorority online and found small and possibly "struggling" chapters in other parts of the country. I found not every girl looked like a beauty queen. It just reminded me that we may be big at Bama, but we aren't everywhere else! I think everybody can say the same thing--somewhere there's a chapter that's struggling, or is new and trying to build itself. I wish more girls would see what an opportunity there is at Bama to pursue a smaller or new sorority. This is a great school for being greek!
