appropriate conversations?

This is true new recruits, do not let all the negative things on here make you think we do not have girls of faith at our school or that our greek chapters don't support each other. One sick person can cause so much harm. We can't wait to welcome new sisters.

I wish everyone was sweet like this. We are nervous PNMs and girls on here are so harsh even though we are looking up to y'all for advice, and y'all
are being honest but I mean there's so many girls bullying a girl because of her weight. As a double zero, double legacy to a "top" house I am really thinking about dropping out. I was so excited to join a sorority to become a better woman and have sisters along my side not joining bullies who make someone ashamed of who they are and who God made them. Such a disappointment

This was my story and it touches my heart to think it could encourage others. Trust in yourself and prayer and you will end up where you need to be. As a current TCU Greek member it makes me disappointed to see mean posts too. Yes, there are some mean girls here but honestly most of us are not. Do not let a hand full of unhappy girls who bash others on here make you doubt there are wonderful girls waiting to welcome you. I've never regretted going through recruitment even though it was emotional. You are going to be great:-)

I think just about everyone here is really supportive although sometimes they have to tell you a hard truth and there's no easy way to put it. I've looked at other school Greek Rank pages and they are terrifying and horrible. Ours is really pretty nice by comparison.

Yeah but understand that it can affect the way you're perceived by who you talk to and can affect your recruitment.

This person haas given you sound advice. I have a strong faith which was part of why I chose this school. During recruitment just keep things light and you will have plenty of opportunity to express your faith once your settled. I choose to steer away from the heavy party houses but it's a personal choice.

Who are the heavy party houses? I'd really like to know.

Others will have their own thoughts on "party" houses but I think most would agree that Kappa, Phi Pi and Delta Gamma party hard. If that's your goal then great but since it wasn't mine I was less interested in those groups for me. It is all personal goals and boundaries. I hope this is helpful and no hate is meant toward those houses.

This response is great and Answer did a good job answering the other part of your question.

Religious talk can be uncomfortable for a lot of people no matter what their religion. We are having casual conversations with people we don't know in recruitment. It's RUDE to talk about anything that can make someone else feel uncomfortable. It's not controversial, it's just manners. There will be plenty of time to talk about faith later.

Why would talking about faith be bad manners? The atheist at this school talk about their lack of faith all the time. Seems like a double standard with the Christians always getting the bad end.

There's plenty of time to talk about faith in the future. It's recruitment. This is polite conversation with people you don't know. It's never appropriate to potentially put a stranger in an uncomfortable situation. If you don't understand how rude this is, then maybe you should forgo sorority membership where you have to get along with a lot of different personalities and beliefs.

I love this persons answer!! Despite the amount of negative energy one person can unanimously post on here, many of us did choose Texas Christian because we wanted to avoid the atheistic driven public school mentality. Even if you do not talk about faith during recruitment, your faith will steady you, give you a kind heart toward people and let you have a peace that you will end up in the right chapter for you. It's all good and afterwords you can take part in some of the many Christian opportunities we are blessed to have here.

What a honest answer. Most of us are Christian and would never hold you talking about your faith in a negative light. Even if you keep this off your talking points your choices even during recruitment will be guided by this along with the way you treat others. Your going to do well choosing quality sisters if your faith guides you.

I actually agree with "?". She is saying that she wants diversity, but if you are going to a Christian School you need to be prepared to listen to people share their faith. I too welcome EVERYBODY, but if i'm paying for a Christian university, I should not have to bite my tongue about my faith. It doesn't make me not accepting, it makes me someone who wants to be in an environment where I can be me. If I wanted a secular experience I would have gone to U T or or any other state school. I pay more for this school, so I can be comfortable as a Christian. I shouldn't have to hide or apologize for it.

The person ? never said that people who aren't Christian shouldn't go here. She said people who have a problem with people talking about Christianity shouldn't go here - BIG DIFFERENCE! Maybe you should check your reading comprehension skills.

I would second this person. There are lots of ways to become involved with Christian organizations as well. Be who you are and let those that stand in judgement deal with their own consequences.
