Bad Reputations?

[FuzzieAlum]

I totally agree with IvySpice. I've seen close friends, very much alike, go through rush, and join very different houses. As the years passed, you could see how they became different, both in superficial and more meaningful ways. Heck, there were even identical twins one year who joined different houses (and I'm pretty sure it was their choice). As freshmen, I couldn't tell them apart, but by their junior year, you knew who was who without letters on, just because they had adapted to the style of their sororities.

This may be a superficial matter of how much makeup you wear or how much you dress up, but I believe the personality changes are equally big, if less obviously quantifiable. I don't think I could have gone into college and come out anything, but I could have come out any of several things, and my choice of chapter - and joining a sorority at all - helped maked me the thing I did become.
