That really just makes you no better than the sorority. So . . . good job?

Oh please. It makes her tons better. And smarter.

No. You and the trash person just look like jealous shrews.

It makes her a person who didn’t need to shell out $$ to be part of a shallow and pointless group. Shes an A+ in my book.

Nah. To be so triggered by someone’s mere mention of a sorority on their resume REEKS of pure jealousy.

Found the exclusionary sorority girl.

Yeah, I’m so jealous that I realized freshman year in college how stupid sororities are. I still cannot believe I didn’t shell out 1K/semester to live with a bunch of vapid narcissists. I’m so so jealous! WHAT WAS I THINKING?!? If I could just go back and do it all over again…

Nope. Wasn’t in a sorority. I commuted to my college and worked FT.

You need some serious help given how upset you are over someone that chose a different route in college. You’re screeching and flinging insults about people you don’t know. You can pretend that you’re not jealous but something is clearly making you behave so poorly on this thread.

Hazing. And exclusion. That’s making me behave poorly. Such is life.

People who rush know the drill about getting in (not saying it's right but they know). And there was no hazing in my house, nor any others that I'm aware of. It was the opposite of hazing: lots of presents, taking us out, singing silly songs, etc.

I'm not here to preach virtues of sorority. But, some of you all have got a major chip on your shoulder about it and it's super weird. Not to mention your perceptions don't apply to every house on every campus. My midwest campus had a large but largely lowkey greek scene.

Same. Greek life is such a horrible idea - nothing good comes from it.

https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2763720

Fraternity members who more or less wind up in the frat circumstantially lose .25 GPA points, but gain a 36% boost to their lifetime income. The latter is probably a combination of increased skills and a social network that is both wider and more intense.

My hunch is that, as all the old social mechanisms continue collapsing, and with the younger generation faces an epidemic of friendlessness, where what little social life remains is engaged with online, the income premium will become higher, as well as the benefits of belonging which not directly measured by the paper.

(No, I never was a fraternity or sorority member, nor wanted to be one, but with what has been happening to young people these days, I have changed my tune.)

You need serious therapy.

Don’t we all.

Argh hit submit by accident, the generalizing you folks are doing on this thread is as bad or worse. Talk about high and mighty.

Say what you want but yea my dd listed her sorority on her resume because she holds an executive role and has a great job. You people seem to only know sororities from TV or something. Neither my or her sorority didn’t select people “because of looks”. We were both in sororities where we met great friends, who are also great people. Both of us also lived in the house. It’s a great experience at some schools, less so at others, but the generalizing hoj folks

I'm glad that I went to a school where the closest thing to a sorority was Phi Beta Kappa.

I depledged before initiation. I felt like I had gone to sorority instead of gone to college. I thought my mother was going to have a breakdown over all of it.

For the next 3 years, Panhell sent girls to me who were considering depledging. I became the unofficial depledging counselor on campus. Lol!

I'm ancient, but back in the 90's I almost considered becoming a founding member of a business fraternity. I think it was called Alpha Kappa Psi. I decided to drop out of the process because I wasn't able to commit enough time to it.

I also realized that I already had a social venue that is better than a fraternity and that was Intervarsity Christian Fellowship. That's how I became a believer in Christ in 1998 and it changed my life.

Ugh, poor kid.

I did the sorority thing in college, mostly bc I was insecure and needed to feel like I had friends. Looking back, I see how ridiculous the whole thing was/is.

It really is stupid.

Oh no, your daughter who wanted to be part of something that deliberately excludes people was…excluded?
