Need advice about dropping my sorority..

[33girl]

I'll say what I've said before about being in a chapter with "negative" ratings. Be in everyone's face about the fact that you are an ABC and ABC is the best mother bleeping sorority that ever existed and if they don't agree then ain't nobody got time for that. If you just hang your head and never wear letters and complain about being in your sorority, you are letting others define you.

I also found that I had/have a much easier time making friends with people in other sororities and the Greek community in general when I have this attitude. No one in PQR is going to want to be friends with you when your every move/emotion/action/body language states how envious you are of her and how much you wish you were a PQR instead of an ABC. Plus, when you get to know that PQR, you may realize that as much as you love and adore her as a friend...you weren't meant to be her sister. You were meant to have the sisters you already have.

Just want to put that out there again.
A lot of times people say bad things because they don't know anybody in the sorority...which is the curse of the smaller sorority because there aren't as many members out there as the bigger groups.

etadrisophila- Thank you! And yes I'm sure there are a lot of great ideas on here. AnchorAlumna and 33girl, I agree with what both of you are saying- and just to make it clear, I do wear my letters and don't go sulking around about it, I've just been confused which is why I posted this. But as for the bad ratings statement I made, I was referring to the GPA ratings that people go by- not just reputation around campus.
But yes, I agree that when a sorority has a bad rep, it's usually other girls trying to bring them down, mixed with people not getting to know any of the girls in the chapter.

People honestly care about GPA ratings??? Wow, college is different than it used to be.
