True fact. Gamma Phi is desperate to get their status back. No way would they do that again

I agree that the Gamma Phi's who broke the color barrier were brave and wonderful. But because of them, the Gamma Phis of today are NOT in the same boat with the rest of us. They are on the right side of history because of those girls. If you know how recruitment works, you'll realize that the African American women who recently went through recruitment likely dropped Gamma Phi early because they had so many higher ranked options. Then they were dropped by everyone else.

And as to the reply above. I don't know all the Gamma Phis, but I do know a few and they don't care at all about status. They are happy to be in a house and love their sisters. Really, that was quite a mean comment to say the the house as a whole is desperate. I'd say it's just the opposite.

That is some serious speculation. Seeing as you have no access to who they ranked or were called back to, you can't say that at all. Gamma Phi is not in the clear. They are getting just as much heat as the rest of the houses and are actually more likely not to call someone back because their reputation is so poor and they're trying to fix that. The truth of the matter is that saying Gamma Phi is better bc of something from ten years ago that has nothing to do with them now is incredibly ignorant and shows you know so little about greek politics.

wanted the girl as well but didn't want any more social pariah comments or actions. With some of the extremely vocal ignorant Greeks here, i don't blame them.

True fact. Gamma Phi has an amazing sisterhood. Whether you try to keep them low on your "tiers" or call them names, they are the chapter that pledged the AA girl. The are not desperate. They are living their lives and loving their sisterhood and Bama experience.

That's a rumor and completely untrue. People just keep spreading it like it's fact and it isn't. I know because I was there. GPhi took a girl they wanted on her own merits. No one made them do anything. They suffered enormously for doing it because af beachy asshats like you. But at least their conscience is clear here. By the way, unlike all of your organizations, GPhi has NEVER had a discrimination clause in their national rules.

I'm not saying they didn't want the AA girl. I'm sure they did, and she was a great PNM. But a deal was made.

This. Thank you.

they are better than YOU

Gamma Phis are not the same because their organization historically did the right thing and has paid a price for it. This year, they couldn't pledge the girls because they didn't even have a chance at them. Figure out the facts before you pontificate. And by the way, just because someone tells the truth on here, it doesn't meant they're a Gamma Phi. I am commenting because I find it so ironic that the one house that has actually walked the walk has been the one thrown under the bus for it.

Absolute truth! Every other comment on this board is about how bad Gamma Phi is even though some will admit that "they got an outstanding new class" or something like that. I'm not a Gamma Phi but I think you have to admit that they are much better than they get credit for. The oos girls that they get are truly outstanding and as a whole, they don't seem to care about "status" and "tiers" as much as the houses that fight over Alabama girls. I think it's time they had their recognition.

^^^Thank you

I am disgusted with my own house and wish I'd given Gamma Phi a closer look.

You may not know the answer to this, but I'm so disgusted right now I want out of my house. If I drop before initiation, but still want to be greek, is it possible to still be a Gamma?

As long as you withdraw before initiation you are eligible for recruitment next fall. I don't know if Gamma Phi would want you, but you could try.

gamma phis cant move.

Shame on you for continuing to punish the only house that has tried to make Alabama less of a laughing stock.
