Hmm, so you never spend time and money on makeup and hair? C'mon lady take the loss. You are taking entirely too much time to hate something you know nothing about and contradicting yourself. You are not some virtuous angel so stop with the front. |
No. I never hired a consultant for hair and makeup ever. Have you. That is over the top for rushing a sorority, sorry. For a wedding, maybe. |
Bama has an all girls dorm called Tut that girls scramble to get into. They just rebuilt it, and it’s fabulous!

ok |
congrats, you are the superior being!!! |
Meh, I can’t really judge this property until they show pictures of the tanning salon. |
Sorority houses vary campus to campus and the more recent a house the more likely it will be similar to this. Remember sororities have had a lot more years to build up coffers and these houses are financed by the org not the school or chapter. And girls pay to live there - normally the cost is commiserate with a. regular dorm / meal plan on campus. Again this varies school to school in regards to cost. A truly fascinating aspect of Bama greek life is “The Machine”. Google will bring up references and articles and basically it is a informal greek life infrastructure that is suggested to not only run greek life at the school but also heavily weighs in on school matters and even state govt matters. It makes for an entertaining read. I suspect there is a kernel truth somewhere in there with a huge amount of make believe heaped on the top. |
The machine is true. |
Southern social structure regarding “who you are” (your granddaddy, your family name, your lineage) |
DP. Except it's already been established (repeatedly) that most schools - in both the south AND the north - have greek systems. Why are you fixated on the south? |
The title of the thread (and the initial exchange with another poster) is about a sorority in Alabama. |
so who pays for that? its beautiful! |
I’m a Marylander who was never in a sorority, but I know Maryland girls in sororities at Bama, other SEC schools, and other southern schools. In short: the exclusivity you speak of isn’t a barrier anymore. Looks, personality, and the perception of money trump southern roots and legacy ties. Fact. Heck, I know some larger girls living it up in Bama sororities. They are fun girls with lots of money, fwiw. |
How old are you? |
Yikes. I was in a low-key sorority at Cornell, and we definitely didn't have anything like this house. |
