THE "bottom" sorority

[Blue Skies]

I don't know the school in question, but for many schools each sorority is only one or two pledge classes away from improving their reputation for the better (or for worse.) A sorority at my school which was not highly regarded in my day is now among the top chapters on my campus. I would tell your daughter to "be the change that she wants to see." Tell her to be highly involved on campus -- student government, Panhellenic, etc., and to get to know and be friendly with as many people as possible. Tell her to help raise her sorority's profile. More than that, tell her to work on opportunities to increase a feeling of sisterhood among the members, because that will serve the members well in a number of ways.

Another thought to share is that her sorority has a long and honorable inter/national history. Her membership will extend long beyond her collegiate years and into alumna status. She is a part of a much larger picture.
