Make the choice to be proud instead of embarrassed.

ALL sororities on campus should be invited to participate in Derby Daze. If this isn't the case, Sigma Chi's national headquarters should be contacted immediately. If it's your sorority that is ignoring the event, I would speak up (sooner rather than later) and say that the newest pledge class would like to change that and participate.

Quit worrying about getting mixers with the "popular" fraternities (frats grates like nails on a chalkboard, you might want to not use it). Have fun socializing with the ones who like you and forget the ones who are too stuck up to give you a chance.

I have never heard of a sorority chapter not invited to participate in Derby Days. Though I don't know what IHQ could or would do, I am sure they wouldn't like it either.

LOL, when I was in school, the Sigs invited everyone, but went out of their way to be sure one of their favorite sororities won it.

I'll be blunt here. Do you remember that you are part of that very sorority?

Have you done anything yourself to address this issue? Or, are you just complaining about the rest of your chapter?

Are you actively doing things to give your sorority a good reputation? Or, are you leaching off the reputations of your sisters?

Have you spoke to the fraternities in question and figured out some way for them to have a social with you? Or, are you just observing that you don't have socials with those fraternities?

More so, did you or your chapter ever do anything that gives your chapter a positive reputation? It's something that's earned, not given, traded, or kept.

Those are things to think about: you are a part of your chapter as much as every one of your sisters.
