So, for *those* chapters- give them a chance. Get to know them. Reps and tiers are BS in huge systems like Penn State. |
This breaks my heart
One of my best friends is in what would be considered a "weaker" chapter at her school, and we were talking one day and she said "At first, I was a little iffy about joining because I didn't want other people to judge me, but it really is what you make of it. If you sit around telling yourself that you're in a weak chapter, you're going to feel like you are. But I've met some of my best friends through my sorority, and I wear my letters with pride. I'm proud of my letters and I'm proud to be a member of _____, and people see that. If you're confident about yourself and the sisterhood that you are a part of, nobody will even notice that it's a "lower-tier" house."
I thought that those were great words of advice and I wish more girls would recognize this!
