character

You got it. Sad huh?

That's so silly. Ya they all take girls form certain areas because most of their members are form that area and want the girls they know. The top houses get some of the most wonderful girls. As do all the houses. Stop putting others down to feel better about your house.

Truth! It matters where you went to school or what camp you went to....and not all of them are "nice" girls. The most genuine and sweet girls I know are in a so called lower house.

Of course it matters where you went to school and what camp your from because if you got to meet girls in those sororities of course they'll pull for you if they liked you. Just like lower tier sororities pull for girls they know? Wtf. That's literally stupid. The difference is the top tier get the girls that they pull for so the take girls form certain areas every year and from camps and so on. Y'all do the EXACT same thing but just don't get the girls you want.

It shouldn't matter where you went to school or what camp you went to. Keep insulating yourself with the same people. So the phrase: no new friends : applies to these houses. Yay for diversity. Smh.

Top tier is not as exclusive as it way maybe 5 years ago. More girls from small towns and suburbs are joining sororities in general "just to try it" for fun or for sisterhood. That means quotas need to rise. The girls from exclusive neighborhoods and camp have always been big on Greek Life, but with growing quotas, that means that sororities have to expand their search beyond their traditional recruiting grounds. That means they need to be more open to girls who they do not have close personal ties to. You can be unknown and still get a bid as long as you're pretty and smart and sociable.

But yeah, if the only thing "above average" you have going for you is "character" and "how much you reach out to others" then you won't catch the attention of top tier.

Let's be real here. Sororities are social clubs. Top tier is defined by popularity. If you want character, go to church.

Just want to point out that being from a certain high school can also work against someone. If girls used to compete in high school for same guys, status, etc. or maybe their moms really don't like each other --I've seen where an active may not want that girl in her sorority. So it's not always an automatic thing.
