Please don't be degrading to women. "Don't act like you girls don't talk"? What, we're women and therefore all prone to the same cattiness? I call bullshit. Please don't mislead the OP or others into thinking that she is guaranteed a bid because if they don't it will cause "drama". According to you there must be drama in sorority houses all the the time, and frankly, not letting someone's cousin in is at the low end of the drama spectrum.

Even if she doesn't pick her moms the other sororities are going like that she has previous Greek females in her family. What looks better to sororities in the initial review than getting a active member to write your recs. Girl you need to just be so thankful you have all this because there are so many girls on here freaking out because they don't have anyone to ask for recs. I am sure you won't have a problem picking the right sorority for yourself.

I'm sorry, and how many bids have YOU been extended through formal sorority recruitment?

You are being a dick. Shut the fuck up.

She might be a loser and won't get invited to preference night by her cousins sororites but most likely she will get invited over some random stranger off the street. All Greek organizations as in life has drama. I am just saying that if I had a family member and we didn't invite them back I would be mad so I am sure if this girl wasn't atleast given a chance it would cause problems.

This is a popularity contest, she has access to so many organizations already so I doubt she will have trouble finding the right one between her easy pick. Her chances of getting into one is higher with active family and it is damn higher than some regular girl. She has a high success rate to be atleast considered by one of her families' organizations.

This is why recs need to be deleted. They are a must as a tradition to show how well connected you are. All recs say is you know the right people. The girl who doesn't know anybody is excluded or she gets a pity rec from and alum she doesn't know. Why not pick someone for who they are instead of how connected they are.


You might not go where you are a legacy but you don't join a random organization usually. You atleast go where someone in your family has been before. You can tell me how many random off the street people end up in your organization, probally not many. I can guarantee unless it was an off year everyone in it has a tie somehow and that is why you are in it.

You all act like we are random ppl in random places that randomly become part of something. I am not saying she will get in or won't be cut by everyone. Don't act like you wouldn't have killed for connections when you went through an SEC recruitment. If you had a family member who was in it you thanked God because that made it a little easier. I don't care how big something is unless her cousin isn't very involved any connection gets you a higher chance over somebody that doesn't know anyone. The more people you know the more likely it is. If she has large breast and blonde hair maybe she won't need a family member to get into that said organization but having one sure does help. Everyone her cousins got recs from she can. It makes it easier than a blind manhunt for some alumnae.

YOU. ARE. NOT. IN. A. SORORITY. AND. THEREFORE. SHOULD. NOT. COMMENT. PERIOD.

You can have you horrific opinions, but YOU CANNOT BLOW UNNECESSARY SUNSHINE UP THIS PNM'S ASS BECAUSE YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND SORORITY RECRUITMENT.

GOODBYE!

You have no idea how sorority membership selection works at any school, much less an ultra-competitive one like UF. You're a joke. So stfu.

Note the bold. It's breasts. I'm sure you've probably not had that much interaction with them if this is your general kind of attitude towards women, but it's not that difficult to make it plural.

Second of all, everyone is saying you don't know how sororities select their members and they're right. Even if you knew how one did, you wouldn't know how ALL sororities select members. On that note, I wonder why you think sorority members would be selected depending on how large their breasts are.
I highly doubt any NPC's founders and organizations sat down and said, "yeah, let's take the ones with the big boobs."

Please go away.
