[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really am enjoying the posters who were never in a sorority tell me about how rush really works.  Lots of active imaginations here.[/quote]

Not all schools are the same. Why is that so hard to understand? Your experience is not everyone’s experience. [/quote]

I realize that, but it is also obvious to me that the people complaining about how sororities work here for the most part were never in one and have no clue how they actually work.  They may have watched a bunch of Bama rush tik toks  though.[/quote]

I love people who were in what seem like very welcoming houses in schools with low key greek scenes insist it’s that way everywhere. We had pictures on a projector, a sister charged with arguing in favor, a debate and then a vote[/quote]

That’s the way it was at mine too. [/quote]

But you are painting with a broad brush assuming all are like yours was. I am simply saying that there ARE places, right on your campus probably, that are not like that. I am 100% in agreement that SOME are like you experienced but you will not do the same and agree that there are plenty of options that are not? My Dds house did not vote. In fact they had no discussion, it was all done by ratings entered by each sister for each person they met, into the computer software and matched with how the rushees ranked them. No one discussed the girls. She just literally had bid day and was surprised that her house did not do this as her roommates did, but that doesn’t make it any less true.[/quote]

I literally said “it depends on the school”.  It’s hard to follow threads when everyone is anonymous.There are a couple troll posts mixed in too, I think.  But more people have described it as shallow and cruel than warm and fuzzy “sisterhood.” I’m happy your DD wasn’t traumatized right after you dropped her off at school. Not everyone is so lucky.[/quote]

Fall rush is the worst, IMO. At least let kids make friends, join clubs, attend classes and get settled in before they go thru the process, so they can make a better decision if it's right for them.

That said, it worked out well for my DD as she ended up in same place as all her friends (and it's in general not your traditional greek school, so much more laid back).  But I can only wonder what might have happened if they all ended up in one sorority and she rushed and didn't get picked there or worse yet anywhere. It could have easily turned out bad and that's why I'm still not a fan of the system. [/quote]
