to the girls who dropped out of recruitment...

by: Strategizer

What I don't understand is why you don't see the potential in Delta Phi Epsilon.

First off, they have a house.

Secondly, they are nice girls and accepting of others.

Thirdly, they are smaller than other chapters and trying to rebrand. What this means is that if a bunch of you who dropped out of recruitment did decide to join DPhiE, you could make a huge difference and the chapter could quickly be on the upswing, just like Sigma Kappa. Really the only difference between Sigma Kappa and DPhiE is that PNMs were willing to give SigKap a chance. If you and your friends who also dropped out gave DPhiE a chance, things could change for the better very quickly.

Of course, there is no guarantee that they are doing informal or that any of you would get a bid even if they were, but the fact remains that if a bunch of women who dropped out of recruitment gave DPhiE a chance they'd be on the upswing very quickly.

Anyway, just my 2 cents.

Same for ASA. Even though they don't have a house, they are a solid chapter with a ton of potential. Be the change!

Yes, also ASA.

Having a house or not is not the end all be all of Greek Life. It won't give you friendships to last a lifetime or sisterhood or women who are there for you when things get tough.

DPhiE should be labeled a fraternity

People who have an issue w living with a Trans girl should 1. get over themselves she’s just a person, and 2. Realize that she’s graduating this spring and you won’t have to live w her or hang out w her if you don’t want to. You’ll never like every single person in any chapter.

while dphie wasn't for me personally and i wound up somewhere else, i genuinely enjoyed going there. i always felt welcomed and included, and they had some wonderful messages during philanthropy round. i never felt judged or ridiculed. what dphie needs is people to take a chance on them, and they're an amazing group of strong, inspiring women. anyone who dropped just because dphie is lower tier is completely misunderstanding the value and meaning of greek life

If a couple friend groups would get together and join these two houses it would change everything for them they’d be on par with sdt sk tpa in a semester if the girls who dropped would give them a shot instead of being geeds. It can’t hurt to go to their event and see if you vibe with them or not

Totally agree with this. All it would take would be a couple of friend groups to join DPhiE and/or ASA to turn things around in a semester.

Especially DPhiE given their size, if just a couple of friend groups did this it'd make a huge difference.

But that's the thing...a lot of these girls seem not to want to give houses a chance and would rather complain about IU's rush being "unfair" instead of working on making things better. It's like they don't understand that if you don't get the opportunity you want, you can make an opportunity for yourself.

Rather be geed than D Phi E. Tons of other ways to get involved on campus that aren't a substantial time and money sink. But if you join I hope you like it. Just weigh all of your options before you're locked in for the next three and a half years.

Ok, that's your choice. Everyone can make their own choices.

This post is obviously for someone who was dropped or dropped out of recruitment and has realized that she still wants to find a sisterhood as well as participate in Greek Life and all the opportunities that come with that (which extend to beyond college).

This post is obviously not for you. Thank u, next.

Except this person represents all the girls in their position. No one wants to be a D Phi E

Dude, no one represents everyone. What a stupid thing to say.

You can only speak for yourself and your perspective. Let other people think for themselves.
