I’m well aware. I was in a very medium chapter for my national. The next closest geographically was the top chapter at the school. We knew we weren’t like them.

Unfortunately in these days of Greek Rank, it seems like it’s much harder to get past reputation. The fact that the bigger chapters are encouraged to cut helps, I’m sure. I wish we’d had that in my day! However, back then, talk was just talk, and once you got the girls to your party, you could show them that your chapter was special. We got girls that “better” houses wanted sometimes. Now, girls have to worry about people posting online for all (including people who don’t attend their school) to see about how awful their sorority is. It does seem daunting. It does require a certain amount of resolve.
