If you're in a really (really) small private school (like class of 20) will that lessen your chance to be in a top sorority as opposed to a well known school or larger private school? My gpa is high and ACT is decent but the school is kind of unknown even in the area.

I didn't say I agree with it. Truth hurts though.

So you're saying it's all about status?

I am in one of the sororities this site consistently ranks as a top sorority. I am from a small public HS that is not considered elite and had few contacts on the inside. I had great grades, a decent act, and was very active in school and in my community. I think going into recruitment just wanting a bid to any sorority and having fun with the process was my greatest asset.don't worry about it. You will be fine.

So you seem pretty average. How did you go about getting into a top sorority like that? Maybe I don't understand Greek life but I feel like only the elite/wealthy/above average student gets into the top. What is a "decent" ACT score. Does involvement have a lot to do with it?

Nothing in the description sounds average except for the hs. Great grades and active in school and community (sounds like leadership roles). A decent act for Auburn is 25 and above...What sounds exceptional to me is the positive attitude in just wanting a bid from any sorority. I think this a very attractive quality for most sororities because of the number of girls who come through with preconceived ideas of each sorority. I have had the misfortune of talking with girls during recruitment who are down right rude because they think they are too good for my sorority. This girl sounds exceptional and is why she was snapped up by a top sorority and probably had lots of choices.

If they want you, it does not matter where you went to school.

But nobody seems to actually know why top tiers want certain girls..? Unless the reason is its ALL superficial. It doesn't matter where you go to school if you're pretty and are wearing a lilly dress that was bought on daddy's credit card....

Pretty much that. Also name dropping works pretty good too.

"Real" is only what can be proven. This site is simply a site where people post positive, or in many cases hateful things that they would be embarrassed to even let people know they wrote such things. As for reality, many top sororities have legacies, and no, not all legacies get in for various reasons. Maybe their moms graduated from small/other colleges when the were in that particular sorority so they are unknowns to this school's alumni base, or maybe someone within the sorority does not like them, or maybe they just want that girl that has no connection (it is rare for some of the groups to just go outside and get someone with no link, but it does happen, after all, if you only take legacies you never get any new blood in!) Like the posters said earlier, just try for good grades, participate in school activities and hopefully you'll get the nod. I have known many, many outstanding girls, some legacies and some not, with a resume that looked superior to most and they were overlooked. However, most pledged other groups and those groups were fortunate to get those wonderful girls. It really does work out if you give all the groups a chance. Yes, if you are legacy and get dropped because there were just so many going through, it is tough, but if you get the chance...pledge another! My BF did just that and she has more fun than mine does! We both love out sororities, but she has closer friends in hers. Hey, nothing wrong with having good friends in all the groups!

Don't come in with a preconceived notion of what's the best, because then you'll end up missing out on the best for you.. Most sororities would be open to smart, involved girls, who would be excited to have you. Would you really want to be part of an organization that would judge someone based on where they went to high school? There are seventeen great sororities on campua, and please don't get worried about one
