lady_chem's Disappointing Recruitment

Does your sorority experience really depend on how attractive your sisters are? I highly doubt it.

I think that more often, it's based on some reputation that isn't even deserved or some historical ranking that nobody can change.

Depends on the school. Reputations can and do change.

But the point is, will the girls in the house not be good friends because XYZ fraternity doesn't want to have a social with them? Or some GDI on your floor repeats an unflattering nickname she heard?

Considering the OP's school is 80% men, I would honestly be shocked if there were fraternities that refused to mix with any of the sororities.

But I agree with Dee though. Depending on the region, the "top tier" can have practically zero to do with the members' beauty and far more to do with history, family connections or $$. But again that's really not an issue at this school. The oldest group isn't even 15 years old.

Right, right, I didn't mean to imply that the "bottom tier" girls were uglier or anything, just perhaps that they weren't as good at first impressions.

The fact of the matter is that every chapter has something to offer, and when you talk about national organizations, certainly they are all have lots to be proud of.

However, we've all been 18, and we've all thought to ourselves, "I wanna join the popular group and hang out with the hottest fraternities". It takes some maturity to suck it up and move past that, and I hope the OP makes an effort to do so.
