[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was in a "top 6" sorority at UT and the UT poster here is right on. I know she identified herself in at least one post but there are other posts here that are extremely accurate about the toxic process (and the years after) so I assume those are her too.

I stayed away from rush and paid the fines after my sophomore year so I guess I was one of those 'nice' ones. Haha.

I have all boys but I would not encourage my dd to endure that experience unless she (as the post earlier said) attended the right camps and/or high school. The same goes for the boys to some extent but it's not as bad at least when it comes to rush. But the scene seems a little douchey and insular now in this more connected world. [/quote]

so you just detailed that you did not have a good experience in your "top 6" sorority so if your kids were to rush, why would you aim them to the higher tier houses? There ARE other, yes lower tier, houses where the kids make good friends and have good experiences. In fact, I'd argue, the lower the tier, the better time the kid would have. I have a DD in a lower mid tier house and my DS chose a lower tier house . They both are having great experiences and meeting great people without any hazing nor cattiness like you and the other PP describe.[/quote]

I guess because the toxicity rubbed off on me. [/quote]

I am really struggling with that in this thread. Everyone is talking about the high tier houses and competitiveness to get into those, but no one is saying that fun can be had in lower tiers. Anyway, here I am saying it.  There ARE houses with normal kids, smart kids, accomplished kids, non douchey kids, who firmly believe in not hazing someone who could be their brother or sister. I do agree that those higher tier houses are where you see the most issues, so I'm trying to show OP that you do not need to focus on those. [/quote]
