I'll be cheering for Kappa Alpha Theta, but of course go w/ what's best for you (like you'd choose it based on random old me!).

So tonight at 9:30 we find out which houses are inviting us back, and if all 8 houses do, we're sopposed to cut 2.

I'm def cutting ARMANI because when i went to open houses and also round 1 the conversation was just lacking... and it seemed like I was trying to keep the conversation alive and just awkward.

Now this is the hard part. I'm narrowed it down to either BETSEY or PRADA. Except I hope this is acceptable to say but PRADA's house it like 90%+ jewish, and I feel like since I'm not it would be the smart move to just cut PRADA? I know this may be a bad reason, but I'd def feel left out if the majority of the house is jewish. But I def feel that I had okay conversation. Now, BETSEY I think maybe I had "worse" conversation with them then compared to PRADA. But it was still just the first day... and I don't know what to do. HELP ANYONE? PRADA seems to be a better developed house and like knows what it's doing and they have their own website and stuff. They where the first sorority on my campus. So I just feel they're probably better organized. But I think I was dissapointed by BETSEY. Some people have told me that it's the most underrated house, and I met a few who seemed okay.

I was automanically set on just dropping PRADA just because of the whole religion thing, (because I know some girls who are dropping houses because it is majority catholic, and she would be like the only jewish person there.) Is this a legit reason to drop a house? And I def feel like that's not fair.

Also, when I was at BETSEY the first girl I talked to.. I asked her what her philanthrophy is and she didn't know and had to ask someone else.


I NEED HELP PLEASE! I have like less than a hour to deciede!

So far I'm ranking it as this...

DIOR (interchange w/ Oscar)

Um, what's the point of coding the sororities if you're just going to give us a who's who?

I am sure that I am answering this question after the time you have to make you decision. I was in the opposite situation as you. I am Jewish. There were no Jewish houses on campus in those days. When I pledged, I was 1 of 2 Jewish girls in my house. I have never regretted my decision ( I had a problem with a Born Again Christian who pledged 2 years after me and was irate that I would not convert). I am president of my Alumnae Association for the 3rd year, have applied to work on the National Level. No one else has ever made an issue of religion.

i agree with daffykd. we had several jewish members when i was in college-frankly, it was not an issue at all. they were excused from events if they occured during a jewish holiday.
