From what I could tell, she got into a very good sorority. At least the girls look very pretty. And I think she seems to be happy there. I know these sororities have all sorts of rules so for all I know the mom was in the same sorority at her school in the northeast so they had to admit her as a legacy. But it isn't like she is the Flounder (Animal House reference) of the sorority.

This whole process both fascinates and horrifies me.

Pretty doesn’t mean “good” if good means connected and useful. That said if they are happy then it doesn’t matter.

The girls are no better looking than any other group of girls around the country. The difference is the southern girls take hours to present themselves in a certain way. Most of them bleach their hair and straighten it. They don’t go out without flawless makeup and clothes that show off their bodies. Their clothes are practically uniforms they are so similar.

Religion is part of their lives down South, not in the Northeast. They don’t allow males in their rooms or alcohol but they’re able to get blackout drunk at fraternities and wake up in a strange bed.

Northeast girls for the most part would have no tolerance for this outdated way of thinking. Not to mention the Neanderthal MAGAs are a large potion of the guys who go there.

Uh no

There is no religious component unless you’re pledging one of the Jewish houses.

I attended a Southern school and did frat rush. A frat I liked said “nothing personal but they wouldn’t take Jews”. Two other frats offered me a spot. I was shocked but moved on and had a good college experience. I’m not sorry that I attended a southern college. Good to see the world.

Being an UMC kid from the NE, she is neither connected nor useful. Unless she is legacy connected, as I noted. And these girls want to surround themselves with other stunning girls. This girl is very pretty, but not stunning. I know almost nothing about the situation but thought she was crazy for making this choice but shows what I know. That is why I generally keep my mouth shut in these situations.

For some reason my FB is set so that I see lots of posts of girls going to these schools who are looking for sorority recs. They create these one pagers about themselves and a list of the 10-15 sororities where they need help. Then it seems like people who might barely even know them offer to support them. It is really weird.

Most of them are very pretty. One girl was quite large and several people posted a term that was similar to "bless her heart" like "pretty girl" or something like that.

I was referring to the sororities with those descriptors, not your friend's dd.

Religion definitely plays a part in the south, minus Vandy, Rice and Emory.

Not really

This thread is off the rails. DC is at an SEC school as are a number of his friends. They all are in frats. There is no religious component.

Not off the rails. Sadly, the US today is more like the 1950s in terms of religious acceptance. This is true at colleges, too. It’s more of the symptom than the cause but just look to our White House for evidence of this.

Your anecdote doesn’t mean anything. Many still have Christianity “values” as part of their culture. Many have bibles in every room, they have sports teams that pray Christian prayers before games.

This person does not know what they are talking about. I live in an SEC college town. Religion is not a component of sororities. I've regularly attended several churches in town and while we do get some college students I don't think I've ever met a sorority girl at church. I thought there was a lot more alcohol pushed at Dickinson College where I attended than in my local SEC college town.

Whether you see sorority girls at your church has absolutely zero relation to whether the sororities are looking for “nice Christian girls” or “girls like us” or however they code it.

“Nothing personal. It’s not you we don’t like; it’s your kind.”

Yes, the US has become very anti Christian in places like DC. It's sad.

I hate to break it to you but teams outside of the south also pray before games.
