A local sorority at USC?

I'm curious which part of rejecting women based on gossip about tiers is "honorable, beautiful, and highest".

I never got the impression that she didn't join the chapter because of its reputation, I got the impression that she didn't join them because she didn't connect with the girls.

That's a well known way of saying, "I'm too good for them."

To be fair, once in a while it means "that's the Jewish house".

ok I'm going to go on the defense here. I didn't accept a bid to that same house because I didn't connect with the girls. I don't think I'm too good for them. There are some other houses where I probably wouldn't have accepted a bid because I didn't click with the girls in the "middle tier" and "top tier." I'm not a fan of the ranking/tiering system at all, but objectively speaking, it does exist. The fact that I didn't click with girls in some houses doesn't mean I think I'm too good for any of them, though.

And I'm sorry for equating Greek and PHC/IFC sororities & fraternities. That's definitely a misconception that exists here, and I feel bad about perpetuating it. It just seemed easier to say "Greek" rather than "PHC/IFC organizations."

It wasn't a specific criticism of you. I am just as guilty of it. I was merely pointing out that she was actually Greek.

The point is if she was THAT heinously uncomfy, she shouldn't have put them on the freakin' bid card. Once you sign that, in for a buck, in for a quarter. You might as well go to bid day and see if maybe the women are different once they exhale.

And again: not clueless freshman. Re-rushing sophomore.
