Okay...so, second sentence was harsh, but the rest I stand by. I'm sick of seeing these posts about wanting to be "top" and turning down "bottom" chapters.

To KnightShadow, what was that supposed to mean? You say some rotten stuff too.

LOL...OK?

You have made several posts about disregarding the "top/bottom tier" stereotypes and encouraging PNMs to get in where they fit in. This post was dripping with sarcasm, but the message remained the same. I don't know why folks were acting all butt-hurt about THIS message.

I guess this is me being rotten, too?

Sorry...That was me being stupid. Disregard.

As far as the "top/bottom" tier discussions go, I'm pretty sick of reading about them. I guess some people didn't initially get what I was trying to convey. It doesn't matter if a sorority is "top" or "bottom" on campus-they all have something INCREDIBLE to offer.

I've watched girls who would be lucky to get an invite back from ANYONE (because they lack certain social graces, they don't have that glowing resume or decent enough GPA, etc.) act like complete snobs to women in various sororities because these girls thought they were "too good" for the sisters. It infuriates me.

The OP, who clearly has self-esteem issues, has the audacity to go on an internet site asking how she can make sure to get into a "top-tier" chapter when chances are (if her low self-esteem shines through during recruitment) she'll be lucky to get a bid from a "lower-tier" sorority.

Personally, I don't believe in "tiers" and I want that to be known. I've said it before. I will say it again. ALL of the NPC sororities have something incredible to offer. Stop worrying about who is #1.

We aren't statisticians... we can't tell you what your chances are.

I say go into it, be yourself and hope for the best. Oh! And check your attitude about the "tiers" at the door b/c there is nothing more unattractive on a PNM than a that "I could ONLY be an XYZ" attitude when you haven't even been there long enough to really know about the other groups.

Thank you, texas*princess because you said it much nicer and in a better way than I did. That is exactly what I think.

THANK YOU!
By the way, I don't think you were out of line at all. She deserved it. It seems that as of late, we have had an influx of (shall we say?) interesting PNMs...
She got her second opinion on here (after going to yahoo). I betcha she wishes she didn't do that

That's why I thought you were being sarcastic, bc you're usually like "Oh, every sorority is awesome!!" lol

Oh, hahaha. Yes, I do believe every sorority is awesome. Penn State's Dance Marathon is going on (I think this weekend) soon and it was started by none other than the Greeks at PSU. It is the LARGEST Student-Run philanthropy in the WORLD. You know who helped raise over 7.49 million dollars in just ONE year-last year? I'll tell you who! GREEKS!

All of the Greeks on this board, especially if they have a chapter at Penn State should take pride in knowing that whether or not they are "bottom-tier" or "top-tier" at Penn State, their brothers and sisters are doing incredible things for children with cancer. That is the kind of stuff that makes me proud to be a Phi Mu and proud to be a Greek.

Disclaimer: I guess I should have let everyone know I was joking about the "fatty" remark. I would not go around making fun of people based on how they look. I don't want anyone getting the wrong idea about me. In fact, I believe that no matter what size you are or how attractive/ unattractive you may be, you can still be a great asset to a GLO if you are willing to be a great member!
