swaps and siterhood

Theta has swaps every week. They (and a lot of other houses) also have swaps twice a week sometimes--Thursday and Tuesday. I'm not sure about Gamma Phi but I would imagine they would also have at least have one swap a week. There are a lot more sororities than there are fraternities so sororities are really in control of how many swaps there are.

Think you mean more fraternities than sororities

also fraternities host the swaps so I wouldnt say sororities are in control... like at all. I know we purposefully never book those houses plus a couple others so I think we are in control...

Why would you not? You are not even cute!

I'm just being honest. The poster asked a question. And not up to me, just a general consensus.

If a fraternity doesn't want to book a particular sorority it is their loss -- and an easy way for girls to spot the guys who are superficial. Plenty of other fraternities out there. The girls aren't the ones losing out.

Is it superficial? Yes. Am I missing out on meeting good, nice, beautiful girls? Yes. But to pretend fraternities dont do this is naive. I know its stupid, superficial, etc, but it happens. PNMs have a right to know that

I never said fraternities don't do this but there are only a small number who do. In my four years in a "bottom tier" house, I can only think of one time that we didn't have a swap during the fall--when an old row fraternity cancelled on us. Was it rude? Yes. Did it make me hate everyone in that fraternity? No. Did I view them in a different light? Most definitely. But did we continue to have swaps the rest of the semester with awesome fraternities that were nice to us? Yes. Sororities are in control because there are less of us. We can continue to have more swaps with different houses while fraternities that are stuck on themselves will only swap with a few certain sororities.

Whatever you say.. Earlier you said there were more of you and now you said there are less.

I'm not trying to be rude or argue with you so I don't know why you're being rude here. There are more girls in sororities than guys in fraternities, but there are more fraternities than there are sororities. There are 16 sororities with 400+ girls in them, but there are 20+ fraternities that all have 50-130 members. The fact that there are less sororities means that there will always be fraternities that won't have a swap every week. My sorority had a swap every week while my boyfriend's "middle tier" fraternity had half as many swaps as we had. They would have loved to have as many swaps as we did, but the numbers weren't in their favor--which gives sororities the power. I'm not trying to be rude. In fact, you're the one who said you were too superficial to swap with my sorority, but I'm just trying to tell you like it is. And honestly, once you're my a freshman, swaps don't matter. Hanging out at the fraternity house isn't everything.

Swaps are fun. But don't join a house based on who they swap with. All girls have plenty of chances to meet guys. So pledge where you like the girls who will be your sisters. They will be your support system these next four years. You will have a fun social life wherever you end up. (The same advice applies to guys. Join the house where you like your brothers. You will also have a fun social life.)
