[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was in a “top-tier” sorority at a college where Greek life is huge and very competitive.  We had a list of our top 150 recruits well before rush for a pledge class of 50.  It didn’t matter how perfectly polished you were, if you weren’t known before rush, you didn’t stand much of a chance (or any).  Most sororities at my school recruited from certain high schools, including OOS high schools.  I didn’t know of any DC girls but it would be like all NCS girls (who were well-liked) pledged Kappa,Holton girls pledged Chi O.  The members who attended those schools weighed in on whether they were XXX material or not.  Our alums pushed certain girls but their input didn’t matter that much.

Consultants didn’t exist at the time so I have no opinions on whether they’d be helpful.  I suspect they may be helpful with advice on what to wear, etc, but won’t be able to help you get a bid if you don’t already have the right connections.

As for the comment about intelligent women not being in sororities, I beg to differ.  We played hard, but we worked hard too.  I’m an attorney and have sorority sisters who are doctors, accountants, worked at the White House, business owners, etc.  Many SAH.  I wouldn’t say being in a sorority helped or hurt anyone’s career prospects but it definitely enhanced the college experience in many ways.[/quote]

Oh god...I was hoping the "work hard play hard" platitude wouldn't be played. I'm happy this was great for you but the process (any you, sorry) sound positively insufferable. It's a study in superficialiality, prejudgment, and I think it is truly anti-women. It is women promoting the worst of human nature and perpetuating every stereotype that works against us socially and professionally. It sound like you are still gung ho on this social structure and that makes me sad. I can't imagine being proud of this, less encouraging a dd to take the same antiquated path. [/quote]
