[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is interested in sororities but having read this thread, it sounds like it’s impossible to get into a top house in the SEC without connections- eg, southern high school, southern family/connections/friends to advocate for you. Are there any other schools/regions!where it is similarly competitive?

Even if she did get in, what exactly is the point of being in a "top house" if you have nothing in common with the other members of the sorority in terms of background, connections, personal history, etc.? Trust me, she will always feel like an outsider. [/quote]

[b]Not necessarily. [/b]That’s actually the point.[/quote]
very, very unlikely though[/quote]

If it is a sorority culture that is looking for specific geographic homogeneity, then sure, if they want all girls from  certain high schools in Alabama and you’re not from one of those high schools, you’re not going to get in and you’re not gonna like it if you do.

That’s on trying to find out, if it’s a sorority culture that is looking for certain types of girls but not from specific places or specific high schools or specific  regions, a girl who is unknown to the members could still fit in. [/quote]

There’s a place for everyone but your DD needs to be honest with herself about where she feels a connection instead of  forcing herself to be like the ABC XYZ girls because they’re “the best”. [/quote]

Agree with you. I don’t think this will be a problem for her, she’s pretty independent.  But based on what has been shared here, she may prefer a school that has a greek culture that is less competitive than the SEC schools.  I doubt that Greek life will be her primary decision point about college but it’s  good to go in with as much information as possible about what to expect. [/quote]
