barnard girls in columbia sororities?
by: 1st year
Hi,
I'm going to be Barnard c/o 24 soon, and I was wondering if it's a complicated process to rush Columbia sororities as a Barnard girl? Or if it'll weaken your chances? I really wanna join Greek life but I don't know how easy it is to participate when you're a Barnard student.

You see less GS students in sororities because of the demographic of the GS student body, which ends up naturally decreasing the number of GS students who go through recruitment to begin with. There should not be any discrimination against GS students rushing and from personal experience, that’s always been the case. I’d say try it out if you’re interested!

Also, what is the differentiation between chapters with houses having a certain preference vs. those without houses?

Only a small portion of the sorority members live in the house. Columbia housing decides the number of spots in the house that are for CC/Seas and the number for Barnard (fewer than CC/Seas). GS students have no spots in the house as given by Columbia housing. Sororities with houses know that they must fill their house to keep their house, so they have a slight preference towards members that can help them do this. Sororities without houses do not have this worry of filling their house so this doesn’t apply. That being said, GS students still get into sororities with houses, but those sororities can’t make their pledge class up of too many who can’t live in the house.

It does not matter which school you go to at all. In the recruitment room, sisters don’t have access to that information, and telling them won’t make a difference. There is not quota that needs to be fulfilled for each school.
The confusion above comes from choosing to live in the house once you are in the chapter. Each house has about 15 slots, and Columbia res life has assigned each a Barnard student quota. BUT THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RECRUUTMENT OR GETTING INTO A SORORITY AT ALL, just may affect whether you can live there in future years.

There is a slight preference towards CC/SEAS and then Barnard girls in Chapters that have houses. CC/SEAS have the most spots in the house followed by a few spots for Barnard girls. Otherwise, there isn’t actual discrimination.
