So... they aren't your friends, you never talk to them, but somehow (maybe through telepathy?) they told you that they wanted you to join their chapter?

Yea, I know when I was active, I always pushed for the girl who had horrible grades, who wasn't friends with any of the sisters, and who never talked to us to get a bid.

Me too. Especially after they admitted they cannot do well in school unless they are satisfied with their social life. What can I say, I loved pushing for girls that I didn't know and that were likely to damage the chapter's GPA.

better social life = better grades. how is the concept so difficult for you to grasp?

It all depends on the person's will and the people you hang out with. Sometimes, a better social life=more distractions to school=worse grades.

Better grades are mainly a result of effort, not something that comes on a silver platter along with a better social life.

yes, but when my overall life was horrible i had no motivation to put in effort. i was in a depression. when you are depressed, you dont feel like doing anything.

You don't get a free pass for being depressed. If you ever make it out of college and get a job, you won't be excused from work because you have a bad acne flair up or your friends aren't talking to you.

If you are depressed, truly (which does not mean avoiding class because you don't like the way you look), then you go to a doctor just like you would if you had diabetes, for instance. And if you don't help yourself you certainly have no right to expect sympathy or help from others.

i understand that. but it was just the choice i decided to make. and i did go to a doctor and help myself. not asking for sympathy. just understanding.

A lot fewer people would be calling you a troll if you could give us the name of the sorority and the school. If the sisters really want you to join like you said they did, you don't have to be discreet online.

If you have enough sense to know that you are embarrassing yourself, why are you still posting?

It's not the concept that's the problem. The problem is that that is not normal, is immature, and is very troubling.
