Questions about sororities and the rush process

by:    

I have a few questions about the sororities and sorority rush

1. Is online rush gonna be through zoom? And will it be 1 on 1 with the active members or will there be more other girls who are rushing/more than 1 active member there?
2. Is the sorority “theta” as bad as they say? I heard from my friend who knows someone in alpha phi that alpha phi are considered a “top 4” and theta is “low ranked” and not well respected
3. Which sorority has the most girls involved in philanthropy and volunteering? That is really important to me.
4. How much are dues going to cost and do you have to pay it all at once?
5. Is there a benefit to registering for rush now instead of in September?

I'll try to answer what I can. Hopefully some of this helps :)

1. Haven't been told much yet. I doubt it would be one-on-one. Just like you'd want to meet as many actives as possible, chapters want lots of their members talking to girls rushing so we get to know you as well.

2. Once you actually join, tiers don't really matter apart from during recruitment. I can only speak to my personal experience but I've met a lot of really nice Thetas so I don't think they're bad. I don't think any chapter is bad though. Your friend may have said that because they want you to join Aphi. I would recommend getting to know the girls in each chapter and having an open mind during recruitment. Everyone has different experiences.

3. All chapters have their own philanthropies, can participate in other philanthropies, and have girls who volunteer for other organizations. I'd suggest asking about this during recruitment to learn more. And you can look on their social medias or on UBC Sororities website and learn about each philanthropy and see what aligns with what you like to support.

4. Dues are different for every chapter. From what I know it can be as low as $900 and as high as $1300. Usually you pay the most as a new member. It probably depends on the chapter, but my chapter as well as a couple friends in different chapters all pay at the start of both terms, so the cost is divided up between two terms each year. If you struggle financially I'm sure you'd be able to talk to your chapters finance person and there may be some kind of payment plan. They'll try to support you.

5. I think there is an "early bird" price for registering sooner than later. That's really the only benefit for registering now. Regardless of when you register you need to fill out the application and pay the fee. I'm not sure when it is but there is a deadline so make sure you do it before then.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask or you can DM chapters! I think I speak for all chapters when I say we want it to be as easy as possible for you!

To clarify about the dues thing.. what would $1000 go towards since the events are online aren't they?

No disrespect but whoever said they’re in aphi and that it’s a top 4 was also not correct. Tier is so dumb, but 1) people shouldn’t use their tier to convince you to join their chapter, and 2) aphi is not a top 4 and hasn’t been and probably won’t be, theyre solid middle tier. That being said I’ve met some lovely girls in every single chapter and tier and you’ll find the right place for you.

Whoever posted this trying to start some sort of beef. Tiers are bs, join whatever you want to join who gives a crap about some phoney social status ranking created by petty people on GR. Stop trying to push this false sorority beef I dont think anyone in aphi gives a crap about what theta is doing and vise versa. This post was clearly made by someone that wants to continue to push this “beef” situation so just stop. Get a life hun
