That's the appeal. Do you have a competitive bone in your body? Being able to do things that others can't is one of the most satisfying feelings in life.

No my kid has no desire to be in a club that excludes people based on personality, money, clothing, and jewelry.

What's really appealing about Notre Dame is their residential life is set up similar to Greek life, but you are assigned to the dorms. There is no competition to get into a specific dorm. And the "competition" becomes between the dorms, not the individual people.

But this is all made up. You're just waiting to be chosen. It's not like preparing to run a marathon and then feeling like you put in the hard work. Rushing is just about being picked.

Running a marathon on your mom and grandmother’s back no less. These girls really think they are special?

Yes, they do. At least in the South, sorority membership can lead to a lifetime of career opportunities. Opens a lot of doors at major companies.

I live in the deep south and the vast majority of women are SAHM or have BS jobs. The only ones with decent careers are lawyers (uva law is big here) or doctors, so nothing to do with sororities.
But in general, they end up sah with 3 kids and are borderline alcoholic and into Stanley water bottles and decorating.

Many sorority women in the south choose the SAHM lifestyle (minus the alcoholic part, stop trolling) because the top-tier fraternity men they marry are such capable providers. They're the big shot lawyers, bankers, and investment advisors in their towns. They make enough money that their wives can stay home with the kids when they're young, which every study known to man has shown produces better outcomes, all other variables equal, than warehousing them in day care while both parents work. Once the kids get a little older, the wife has the luxury, once again thanks to her husband's ample income, to spend her mornings at the country club brunching with the ladies and playing golf or pickleball. On weekends in the summer, the family loads up the Bimmer or Cybertruck and heads to their beach house on 30A, which is basically just a huge networking party for top-tier SEC fraternity and sorority alumni. Who wouldn't want that lifestyle?

Different Poster. I mean yeah but it’s most based on being cool or hot enough. That has to be a massive self esteem killer because it’s not like getting rejection from a college or job, that’s based on your stats and skill set. Getting dropped from a sorority just means they don’t like you as a person. Brutal.

Sure, you can try again next semester or next year, but what top-tier house is going to take the guy or girl with the "L" brand signifying they got cut as a freshman? It's often easier to try again at a new school or, if you realize you aren't fraternity or sorority material, transfer to one of those funny schools without Greek life.

Please let me know which companies so I can tell my daughter to avoid those.
