comment from sorority reality check

Saw this as a comment on the thread in the title.
Thought it deserved more attention with all the vindictive attacks going on as of late, so I’m posting it here
Poster was called “borden”
“You women are [redacted]. I’ve never seen such blatant disrespect, slanderous lies, and egregious acts by women in organizations who are supposed to be empowering for our gender.
This is why it seems fake. Why doesn’t anybody make these claims to each other’s faces or during recruitment. Most are lies and nobody has the gall to say it to another woman’s face.
I didn’t cry all throughout the emotional roller coaster that was rush. I got a house that you people claim is “top” and reading these hateful comments and clearly manufactured tear downs of other houses full of women who were probably so excited to receive their invitation to join a sisterhood is outrageous to me and THAT ladies is what made me cry today. Never have I seen such high disrespect for each other. We demand it from society, from men, but we can’t even manage to give it to each other. WE ALL went through an arduous process and to belittle each other based on where we ended up after the process that is at least 50% out of our control is demoralizing. I know for a fact someone from my own new house was talking about responding and blasting “gossip girl style” as she proudly put it at yesterday’s FIRST chapter meeting. Because of that and reading all the nasty rumors take downs and false accusations on here I will be dropping. I don’t want to be anywhere near this kind of toxicity that’s so well hidden during rush. I’m sorry to the girl who’s spot I may have filled that could have taken it. I’m sorry for believing the sisterhood women empowerment spiel and I’m most of all sorry for all of you that this is your idea of joining a community at a nationally ranked university. College is about learning, please learn and become better. Become all those things these houses say they instill in women. Empower yourselves without tearing anyone down, we face that too much in this world already. I fight back tears because I too thought this was something I wanted and never did I think this horror could be true outside of movies. Well it really is and far worse. I may be ridiculed for this and I wasn’t even planning on writing this much but my emotions are flowing out, realizing how much more devasted I truly am about this than I thought.
Look at the big picture ladies and I pray you all can find it in your hearts to love one another and find positivity in each other.

I think we all need to take a step back and see that words really hurt people. These are somebody’s daughters we are talking about, probably on the phone calling their moms crying over what? We all worked hard at rush and we got what we got. Can we leave it at that.

Yes!!!! This website is honestly SO toxic. We join sororities to make lifelong friends, SISTERS, and to make a home away from home. To blast other houses and all of these rankings rooted in something so misogynistic such as frat relations and physical appearance is deeply disappointing to say the least. I expect more from the women at UCLA and if you have called out a house/PC on here based on something as arbitrary as LOOKS, you should be ashamed of yourselves. People can’t control the way they look, but you sure can control your attitude about life and boy do some of y’all need to work on that. You are talking about someone’s daughter, someone’s best friend, someone’s girlfriend, etc. They are PEOPLE, not there for you to degrade them and place th in a stupid ranking. Even as someone in a “top” house, I think the Greek community places way too much emphasis and value on something that’s honestly degrading... we should be uplifting other women up, enjoying our time in our own chapters, and being a COMMUNITY. Every house on the row has something wonderful to offer every girl that joins their chapter and shame on you if you try to take away from that experience by ranking them. SUPPORT YOUR FELLOW WOMEN. And with that, I’m out. F this website and I honestly hope it gets taken down because some of you guys take advantage of the anonymity of it to bash other women. Sad.
