[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was in a "top" sorority of one of the Texas colleges mentioned and my sister at the other, as were my cousins and tons of friends, including family friends there now so I know the scene pretty well.  Yes, there are plenty of kids who are crazy rich, but they are definitely in the minority.  You get to know them and their crazy lifestyles stand out and are memorable.  There are also plenty of kids who have "wealthy" parents, but not super-wealthy, but again, they're not in the majority.  The majority of students in the top sororities/fraternities (and these still rule the social scene) are UMC and do not have Chanel bags, luxury cars or haute couture.  Their parents are doctors and lawyers who do well but will never own their own jet but perhaps have enough to give daughter a LV Neverfull (more likely, Tory Burch or along those lines) for Christmas.

To put it in perspective, 40% of students at SMU receive need-based FA.

And wealth will not get you into a sorority.  Many kids transfer to a different school after rush because they can't get in.  [/quote]

You cannot be talking about SMU though.  Most of the girls in my sorority had multiple designer bags.  And by "designer" I mean, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Goyard, Fendi, Gucci, etc, not Tory Burch or (God forbid) Michael Kors.

[b]Most[/b]  That wasn't my experience- the multiple designer bag types were present but still in the minority.  Granted, it was almost 15 years ago and people are flashier now.  The girls I know there today are mostly "God forbid" the more Tory Burch types.[/quote]
