[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading this post is giving me anxiety and I do not even have a dog in the fight (have boys and their colleges did random assignments of roommates).

Here is my question: For sororities and finding a roommate, if you are judged based on your Instagram account, how can you start over if you had a rough HS existence? I mean, let's say you did not have tons of friends so your IG does not show tons of pretty friends pics. Are you doomed in finding a roommate and heaven-forbid rushing a sorority?[/quote]

Yes. Pretty much. Colleges talk a big game about prioritizing mental health and being inclusive but then they farm out roommate selection to a toxic social media site. [/quote]

There is a choice. Many kids go through the random process.[/quote]

The hard part for kids is that even though parents will tell them that many kids go random, if they had their heart set on finding someone through Instagram, when it doesn’t work out, they feel like there is something wrong with them. I think they probably feel there is some stigma about going random and that it is just for the kids who couldn’t find a match. it is easier as an adult to see that’s not the case, but stupid social media makes it look like everyone who is cool and fun finds someone.
