Speaker 3 (01:29):
At Maryland they were classy.
Speaker 9 (01:31):
Yeah, they were kind of nice girls, kind of.
Speaker 8 (01:33):
Nice girl like top.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Well, I was data top and grades like, kind of smart,
like not in the party scene as much girls, classy girls.
Speaker 8 (01:44):
Marylyn they were kind of nice girls girls. Okay, I
don't remember them there. How about Kyo?
Speaker 7 (01:52):
Really sweet? That was the second house I was considering.
I just felt like they were very genuine.
Speaker 8 (01:58):
I would say, down to earth, psychotic.
Speaker 7 (02:02):
Oh school, So I'm curious what your Have you.
Speaker 6 (02:08):
Not heard any Kios stories from our school spill?
Speaker 7 (02:13):
I only heard of the story of the man who's
snuck in and stole someone's underwear.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Oh that's creepy.
Speaker 8 (02:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
Berkeley Kyo is another.
Speaker 8 (02:19):
Story, Calen, what do you think.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
I've never heard of the sorority in my life?
Speaker 9 (02:23):
Kyo, we didn't have Kyo.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
I heard of them there. They were a big sorority,
but we didn't have them at Maryland. So okay, how
about Katie?
Speaker 8 (02:32):
Did not? I have no you are Katie Zeta?
Speaker 5 (02:35):
You Aretaida?
Speaker 6 (02:37):
Oh z ok.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
When I think of Katie, I think southern. I feel
like all the Southern schools have Katie and we didn't
have it, but we added a new house on my
senior year and it was Katie.
Speaker 8 (02:48):
So it was a brand new sorority.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
And I think it just came on because I was
out of Southern school and they seem to be all
over down there.
Speaker 9 (02:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (02:56):
We don't have Katie West Coast schools, so not sure.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Same. I don't know any Katie this.
Speaker 8 (03:04):
That's dgg oh that's me. I don't know what Katie
is Katie.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
And they were all really pretty. They were like the
prettiest sorority.
Speaker 8 (03:13):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Yeah, yeah, and it was big. It was probably the
big authority at Maryland. How about Alpha Pi.
Speaker 7 (03:20):
At our school, they're called alphabet What are they bad?
In Sabbatis alphabaties Like, they're just known for just like mogging,
and that's kind of it for what was like to
find logging being super beautiful and that's what they bring
to the table. Their beautiful looks not the worst.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
We didn't have a Fie, but my mom was an
Aphie and she's an angel, so angels, I.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Would say boss lady.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
At our school, they run like all of the student
government it's kind of cold tea, but they definitely look
good while they do it.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
M yeah, more like the popular girls. I feel like
it's always.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Wait, this is so different from my school because I
think they like did not have anyone and they were
very intellectual.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
So at Maryland, I kind.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Of feel like they're like kind of forgettable, like you're
super distinct about any Alpha pie's. They were like nice girls.
They were their houses right behind ours, like like we
didn't have I feel like the houses where the girls
were like really pretty or like had like a reputation.
We kind of had like a little rivalry with nobody
had a rivalry with alphabe. They were just kind of
(04:25):
in descript, non descript.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I feel like Alpha Pye is a West Coast thing
because I hear of it a lot in California schools,
and then also like Arizona schools or Western school I
do feel like a lot of the stereotypes are regional,
which is interesting schools, but its regional to like the
South or the West Coast or the East Coast.
Speaker 8 (04:48):
It's yeah, I totally agree.
Speaker 9 (04:51):
Okay, how about Pi Pi.
Speaker 7 (04:54):
Pi Pi also really nice girls? Just like I'm honestly
very well rounded, very kind very beautiful, very smart, also
beautiful house.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah, at my.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
School, a clique just did not want to associate with
anyone else, not in like an introverted way, but more
so in a like oh you're not a fu, like
you're not cool enough to associate very clique.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
I would say, the funny girls at our school, they're
very much like the funny girls everyone likes.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
I was gonna say, similar to you, Lauren, like kind
of like big headed, they kind of like think very
highly of themselves.
Speaker 8 (05:35):
Yeah, and maybe competitive too.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
I think there's too many sororities.
Speaker 9 (05:39):
I thought they were really fine.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
You're really sororities. I could tell Caleb love this already life,
I could tell. I don't think we had pi FI.
So how about Trydell.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Tried Dell is always just like bold personality, fun outgoing
girls in my.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
Mm hmm we have Tridel Oh god, Oh no, I
didn't even know we had one. No, I think it
was quite Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (06:11):
They're they're well like West Coast schools tried out. It's
not very prominent, so I'd say it's like mid tier.
I don't think I've ever really talked to anyone that
was in tried out, not because I didn't want to,
but maybe because I haven't seen them around. But that
says anything in and of itself.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
So ours, like our school is literally the only West
Coast school where triedaut is actually a really good sorority.
I was in tried out, but also it was a
good sorority. So I'm a little bit biased.
Speaker 8 (06:41):
But we were Yeah, I'm tried out.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
We were very I would say, we're very into our
philanthropy because it's Saint Jude, so it's good we do.
We do all of like that's our main, huge thing. So, yeah,
did you guys have tried out?
Speaker 5 (06:55):
I said last night we had tried out, but it
was tri sick, so no, we didn't. But I almost
went to al Bama, and I think their Tri Sigma
was really good.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
It was a good, good sorty.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Yeah, and it was like when I wanted to rest.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Try tried out at Maryland was a huge sorty and
they were so I grew. I was in college in
the eighties and it was super preppy, like they were
like really nice girls. They dressed really nice, they were
nice to everybody, like a night. My brother was impact
engaged to try it out.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
For a while.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Yeah, right after college. So I like, try it outs, Zeta,
I plead the.
Speaker 8 (07:28):
Fed Yeah, we have one. That's all I know.
Speaker 7 (07:37):
Where you know that you have to go, but you're
just waiting for that round to be over and then
you drop it.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Oh you had to brush it, no matter, but you
had to show up brutal.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
I was lucky enough to make it to like the
third round there, so I was pretty proud.
Speaker 8 (07:51):
Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Literally the only thing that comes into my mind, or
at least the first thing when someone says Zeta is
lamb or because at our school, they all called themselves slammers.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
What is a lammer?
Speaker 8 (08:05):
Slammers?
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Oh yeah, L A N E R.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Because they would say slam like zata love and mine,
that's what it stands for. And so they called themselves
slammers and they would go around. They'd be like, slammers, zam,
where's all as lambers at?
Speaker 8 (08:21):
And it was just like a bit and you.
Speaker 9 (08:23):
Don't know them.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
Only the basket crowned.
Speaker 8 (08:26):
Obviously. They have so many sayings, which is fun if
you're in it, but when you're on the outside of it,
I was like, what's going on here?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Yeah, we didn't have Zata at my school, but I
have two friends that were in Zada at a different school,
and they're so cute and very smart, so I think, yeah,
it just differs.
Speaker 8 (08:44):
It differs. Yeah, Kaitlin, did you guys call you? I know,
did you put yourself a lammer or No?
Speaker 5 (08:50):
I only lasted one semester and I got kicked out.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
But why didn't you just tell us that kicked out story? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (08:59):
Yeah, so they kicked me out and I didn't. Yeah,
I hated it. It was my first fourth choice. I
just kept getting dropped because I was promiscuous and hooking
up with men from other.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
The president of the sororities boyfriends. Yeah, and never that
never works.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
I got my fourth choice and it's not my favorite,
and you didn't care about it.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
We didn't have Zeta, So I'm out on that one. Okay.
Speaker 7 (09:25):
Sigma Kappla, Oh I love ESK. They have a very
very beautiful house at our school, really really kind girls.
One of my best friends from high school is in
that house. I've always just had really like very warm impressions,
Like you walk away from a conversation with an SK
and it's like, oh, she's a sweetheart.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Yeah, that's like our tried ELTs.
Speaker 8 (09:45):
Yeah, agree, sweethearts. Both my sisters, my real sisters are
as case. Oh, I feel like I don't really know much.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I don't have anything to say. They were kind of
like our rival sorority at my school, so it was
like kind of the two of us butting heads. So
I don't know, I would say, uh, yeah, I know,
like they weren't always the nicest, but maybe but we
(10:15):
just didn't get good impressions.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Of them because maybe because they were your rival sorority.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Yeah, it was just kind of like, oh, I feel
like you're like.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
I feel like everybody's rival sorority is kind of like them,
and you just don't want to face it.
Speaker 8 (10:28):
Yeah, totally.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Yeah, maybe it's like, yeah, it's odd, how about you
non try me? You didn't have a singma company? No,
I think we did, but I don't remember. But again, guys,
it was in the eighties, so you gotta give me
a break on that one.
Speaker 9 (10:42):
Sorry, we'll give you a pass.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Bye, will.
Speaker 7 (11:00):
My sisters will find you. And she went to Purdue,
which I think isn't a huge sorority school, but they
had a really good, wonderful sorority very academic they have
the highest on a roll every single I think, like
highest percentage of students with a four point zero in
their house. Well and smart girls very like work hard,
play hard.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
At my school, it was just an eclectic bunch. It
was just kind of the most random assortment of people,
all nice girls, but it was kind of a sorority
that I looked at and I was like, how is
this cohesive?
Speaker 8 (11:35):
Like how is this a friend group? Like this is
just so interesting? How'd you all end up in this house?
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Because I'd say they were all like the least similar
to each other, whereas in many sororities, I think everyone's
very similar copy and paste.
Speaker 8 (11:46):
But they were an eclectic group of girls, all very nice.
I feel like just Southern Bells.
Speaker 6 (11:51):
We don't have it as far as I know on
the on the West coast, but definitely from what I know,
Southern bell.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I don't know. I don't know any so I can't
I can't sayin.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
Okay, I have a fine news story that was my
second choice. My roommate was a five MEW. She committed
check fraud and tried to steal ten thousand dollars from
my mom.
Speaker 8 (12:15):
It's crazy.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
During finals week, So the Wi Fi router was in
my room and she breaks into my room changes the
Wi Fi passwords so I can't study during finals week.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Like, no, that.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
Is my perception of a five mule. That is crazy, horrible,
and my like the FBI. I think it was nine thousand,
nine hundred dollars because the FBI won't get involved unless
it's ten thousand dollars, So it was.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
It was pretty crazy that she was an evil person.
Speaker 8 (12:44):
She was crazy.
Speaker 9 (12:45):
Did she get kicked out of the school?
Speaker 8 (12:46):
God?
Speaker 5 (12:46):
No, No, she was totally fine. And then I like
went on a date. We got Ben and Jerry's I'm
a broke college student. That's expensive. Yeah, And it's in
the freezer and I'm like, where's my Ben and Jerry
She's sitting on the couch eating it, and she goes,
I don't know what you're talking about. I'm like, I'm
like you, that's all I think of a five.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
You got rid of her as a roommate, right, Yes, Okay,
that's crazy.
Speaker 7 (13:09):
As much as I think they're academic, I do think
the fraud reputation might be uh run running a couple
of houses, because I've also heard a story of the
treasure of my sisters. Five you stealing two hundred thousand
dollars from the national honors of her sorority. Another another
(13:29):
you wrote herself wrote herself her bought her boyfriend in
f one fifty truck. Yeah, and I think used it
for like her own personal services, like getting her hair done,
getting her nails done. Like the entire time. She was
one of like on exec and obviously ended up getting
(13:49):
caught and it's yeah, it's a felony. So she's actually
a felon.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
So okay, that's crazy. Okay, how about Gammify?
Speaker 9 (14:03):
We didn't have it.
Speaker 8 (14:05):
So down to earth. I love the gamifies. One of
my best friends is to gamify And just like.
Speaker 7 (14:10):
Chill girls, CEC, you want to take this one?
Speaker 6 (14:16):
I would say this is probably the smallest and most
least desirable house at the school that we go to.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
No hate, but they are kind of a.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Yik yak meme, and I feel bad for them because
they don't really deserve it, but they're they're I've never
had a bad.
Speaker 8 (14:34):
Interaction, but yeah, Joan, do you know ya yak? What's that?
Do you know what yak yak is?
Speaker 7 (14:39):
No?
Speaker 1 (14:39):
I have no idea, So it's this app where you
can anonymously post things about your college and everybody reads it,
and so people will tell crazy stories and a lot
of times it's all about Greek light and so anonymously
people will like clown on other sureties or just like
telp insane spread rumor all the things.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
And are they usually true or no?
Speaker 9 (15:02):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (15:04):
I would say they usually dramatic size because.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
It has an element of truth, but it's like.
Speaker 8 (15:11):
Totally blown up. But anyways, that's what CC was saying.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
They're kind of a joke on I guess, oh.
Speaker 9 (15:20):
Wake up girl.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
We actually didn't have that already under school, so I'm
not entirely sure. I mean it was kind of a
small We only had like six or ornies made.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
So how about Gamma Phi?
Speaker 8 (15:34):
Did you have a Kaila? No?
Speaker 3 (15:35):
No, we didn't have Gammafi, but we did we The
next one is Alpha Kaya Mega and that came right
when I was leaving, so I don't know anything about it,
but I did to Big Storty.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Now.
Speaker 7 (15:44):
Honestly, no strong impressions. I don't actually know anybody in
Akia at my school, but I do remember they had
a really nice house.
Speaker 8 (15:53):
Kind of same here. No strong impression. I didn't really
know any of them.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Didn't know much.
Speaker 8 (15:57):
Yeah, unremarkable.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
We also didn't have them at my school.
Speaker 9 (16:07):
Yeah, I did have.
Speaker 8 (16:09):
Them at mine.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
I think they were like all destined to be senators
and so they were just doing this to be to
like add to their resume, you know, is that right?
Speaker 9 (16:16):
Yeah, destined to be senators.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
I love that.
Speaker 8 (16:19):
I want to be. That's already I know me, so.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
They wouldn't have had me. But okay, okay, last one, guys,
I can't believe that is a long list. First of all,
don't a zada.
Speaker 7 (16:30):
No, I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
No, I don't either.
Speaker 8 (16:33):
We didn't have it either.
Speaker 7 (16:35):
We didn't have it.
Speaker 8 (16:36):
But I'm assuming it's a Southern thing. I know a
lot of girls that I know. They go to Arizona schools.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
That's like a big deal house that's like tall for
the top house to get into.
Speaker 8 (16:46):
But anywhere else, I don't think I've ever heard of it.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Yeah, same, Lauren like it. They didn't have it at
our school, but some West Coast schools like it's huge.
Speaker 8 (16:54):
So nothing for me.
Speaker 9 (16:56):
Yeah, no, you don't have anither.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Okay, So how accurate do you think the stereotypes are.
Speaker 7 (17:02):
I think it's important. Yeah, I think the regional like
focus is important because it definitely changes depending on like
if you're on the West coast, East coast, Midwest, there's
that like very strong Southern element to sorority life that
just doesn't exist or carry over when you live on
the West coast. But that's definitely important to consider, especially
if you're wanting to join a sorority. Don't always follow
(17:23):
the reputations of someone from a school that might not
be in the same state you're going to.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Very true, I would agree with that one hundred percent.
I think region plays a huge role in it, and
like you can't.
Speaker 8 (17:35):
Believe the stereotypes because it just varies so much school
by school, region by region.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
I also think the size of the sorority matters a lot,
because it's so hard to stereotype a pledge class of
one hundred girls versus a sorority that only has thirty,
And so it really depends on like the numbers as well,
because there can be so many girls in a sorority.
It could be a really big house and it's like
they're the smart house, but like there's always gonna be
(18:00):
girls who are struggling with third grades or they're the
cool girls, and there's always gonna be girls that are
like maybe not as nice or whatever. So I don't know,
I feel like it's really hard to stereotype, and I
feel like they can never be truly accurate.
Speaker 6 (18:17):
And even like every recruitment cycle, I feel like if
you get a one off bad PC or something happens,
like there's always weird flukes in primary recruitment, and so
I feel like, even if you do know the reputations
of a sorority in your school, it can change at
literally the drop of a hat based off of all
(18:37):
of the behavior of the new PC.
Speaker 8 (18:39):
That's a good point.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
It's interesting too, like I mean, depending on how big
your school was, kind of like Lauren Numer saying, just
like you can't really judge like one PC that has
one hundred versus like thirty girls.
Speaker 8 (18:53):
But it really is.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Interesting to think about like how these different schools got
these different stereotypes for these sororities, Like why is they
to different at my school versus like your guys is school.
So it is kind of weird to think about that,
like the origin of each like sorority at the school.
So yeah, I don't know. Again, it's yeah, you can't
really follow stereotypes because it's different everywhere.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
But what do you think?
Speaker 5 (19:17):
I wonder how much it's going to change because gen
Z values like such different things than we do.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
So like the like.
Speaker 8 (19:25):
Quote unquote.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Uncool or whatever you want to call it, like sorority,
I think it's going to be the coolest sorority and
like the one that everyone wants to be. Like, I
think Millennials and gen Z just have such a different
perspective or they're not rushing period. But I'm interested to
see how it shifts.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
So I kind of feel the same way that you do.
I feel like they eve all over time. So like
I was a Delta Gamma at Maryland and like it
was a like kind of dumbl one sorority and I
just went back. They invited me back to do like
a little presentation, like kind of a little speech for
Founder's Day, And they were the smartest girls they all.
Speaker 8 (19:59):
They had the that's GP.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
I only got into that sorority. I wasn't like nearly
cool enough to be an authorty, but I had a
good GPA and they were on academic probation when I
was there and now, like they're the smartest a sorority
on the campus. So they evolve over time a lot.
So I think, you know, you might be in an
evolution period, and I kind of feel like you should
really give extroities a chance, Like you might find your
(20:22):
posse in a sorority that you wouldn't think that may
have been great for you.
Speaker 8 (20:26):
I absolutely agree.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Yeah, I really think it's so important to keep an
open mind and honestly to like take in the least
amount of noise about sororities that you can, especially before RASH,
because it just it can influence you so easily away
from a group of girls.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
I mean, it would have been great for you.
Speaker 8 (20:44):
It sounds cheesy, but like they could be your home,
you know. I know you never know.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
I preference data, and I there's a part of me
that everyone small thinks maybe that would have been a
better match for me. I loved my DG experience, but
I feel like THETA may have been like girls that
were a little more like me.
Speaker 8 (20:59):
I feel like a lot of people have similar experiences.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Aren't as willing to admit that because I want to
just die hard for their sorority. But there's always that
what if when you're talking about two houses, like maybe
a preference one you get another, what could have been?
Or even if you did preference to your sorority, it's like,
what would have happened if they dropped me and I
got my second choice?
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Yeah, I'm interesting to think about it and that it
was my first choice. But I look back and like
I wanted to be like popular, and I was a
kind of nerdy, So I went for the house that
maybe the girls were more popular, and I probably would
have fit in better with the girls that were like
a little less popular and little more like me. Okay,
(21:49):
So I think that we should kind of wrap this up,
and I think, like, going out of this, I'd love
that we have like some good perspectives. So what kind
of advice would you give girls going into rush?
Speaker 7 (22:00):
To follow on Lauren's note, I would say, when you're
going into it for freshmen at least, I've heard a
lot of girls have really positive experiences if they're rushing,
like and they have roommates, to not share what houses
they are liking throughout the process, because it can sway
your opinion and kind of lead you astray, and it
might also make you feel like you need to join
(22:21):
the house with the two girls who already know at
school rather than taking the leap and joining a house
that might be something that's a better fit for you
than your friends. And then my other advice I think
would be just to keep a really open, positive opinion
and be excited to talk to people, be eager to
meet new friends, and to kind of like work on
(22:42):
your elevator pitch a bit, but just keep it natural.
It doesn't need to feel like it's an interview, but
it is an opportunity to learn a lot about yourself.
Speaker 6 (22:52):
I would say the best advice that I ever got
and gave later on after going through recruitment is to
watch how the girls are interacting with each other when
you're not watching, Like watch how they interact with each
other when they're sitting on the ground and they're singing
or they're sitting in the line, Like do they genuinely look.
Speaker 8 (23:10):
Like they like each other?
Speaker 6 (23:12):
I feel like that's a huge thing and that you
can really read through like how performative recruitment can be
if you're really paying attention. So that's a huge thing.
And then another thing is is on pref night, like
look around in the party that you're in, Like those
girls would be your pledge class. So if you look
around and you like the girls, and I mean you
like what you see, then maybe that's a sign that
(23:32):
that could be for you. But if you're looking around
and you know some of the girls and maybe they're
not your cup of tea, and you're between two houses
that you that you love, maybe that's a sign that
maybe you should choose the house where you can see
yourself and the PCs more what you're into.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
M Yeah, and I think too, like if you're going
to a smaller school where maybe there's only like six
sororities like I went to, I feel like I've kind
of noticed, like while I was answering these questions, the
stereotypes are maybe even like like they're even more evident
(24:08):
because it's like, well, this sorority is that, and this
already is that, and there's really no in between. So
I don't know, maybe if you go to a smaller school,
like trying to break those norms and being like well,
once arority doesn't have to be like top hous er,
once already doesn't have to be you know, just smart
and stuff like that, and just kind of really getting
to know the girls versus the thing that really just
(24:29):
dictates them to the rest of the school. Caitlin, I
would say, like, let go of the like.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
Notions of each sorority and like whoever it's like the
cool sorority, the second tier soroty, whatever it is, like
the rankings of it all, and just like whoever you
connect with, because it's gonna make like the most of
your college experience.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Yeah, I totally agree. I feel like it's a two
way street. Like I felt when like when I was rushing,
like I needed to impress them and I needed to
show my best self, and I didn't do a really
good job probably of interviewing them the same way that
they were kind of looking at me.
Speaker 8 (25:02):
So to realize it's a two way street.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
To make sure you're asking important questions about like this
is a really loud buss, sorry if you're hearing all
that background noise, So like interview them, like make sure
that I was I needed to study. I was a
computer science major. Make sure that they make like make
sure that you have time to study. And it's not
all about partying or if you like want to be
a partier, then that's the right authority, So I think
(25:28):
that you have to it's a two way street. You
have to remember that. I kind of learned that a
little bit on Bachelor two, Like it's a two ay street.
I wanted to like make all the men like me,
but then I like I needed to learn about them.
What do you guys think?
Speaker 8 (25:39):
Power agree?
Speaker 3 (25:40):

Speaker 6 (01:01):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
I would say classy, oh different at my school, really bloody.
Speaker 7 (01:08):
I would say Colti.
Speaker 6 (01:10):
Oh yeah, Coltie.
Speaker 8 (01:13):
I would say, okay, how about Katie? Oh no, I
was like, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Theto is next one smart? Yeah, definitely like the nerdy,
nerdy girls and like a bad way. Oh wait, hold on, hold.
Speaker 6 (01:29):
Different.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
At Maryland they were classy.
Speaker 9 (01:31):
Yeah, they were kind of nice girls, kind of.
Speaker 8 (01:33):
Nice girl like top.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Well, I was data top and grades like, kind of smart,
like not in the party scene as much girls, classy girls.
Speaker 8 (01:44):
Marylyn they were kind of nice girls girls. Okay, I
don't remember them there. How about Kyo?
Speaker 7 (01:52):
Really sweet? That was the second house I was considering.
I just felt like they were very genuine.
Speaker 8 (01:58):
I would say, down to earth, psychotic.
Speaker 7 (02:02):
Oh school, So I'm curious what your Have you.
Speaker 6 (02:08):
Not heard any Kios stories from our school spill?
Speaker 7 (02:13):
I only heard of the story of the man who's
snuck in and stole someone's underwear.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Oh that's creepy.
Speaker 8 (02:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
Berkeley Kyo is another.
Speaker 8 (02:19):
Story, Calen, what do you think.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
I've never heard of the sorority in my life?
Speaker 9 (02:23):
Kyo, we didn't have Kyo.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
I heard of them there. They were a big sorority,
but we didn't have them at Maryland. So okay, how
about Katie?
Speaker 8 (02:32):
Did not? I have no you are Katie Zeta?
Speaker 5 (02:35):
You Aretaida?
Speaker 6 (02:37):
Oh z ok.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
When I think of Katie, I think southern. I feel
like all the Southern schools have Katie and we didn't
have it, but we added a new house on my
senior year and it was Katie.
Speaker 8 (02:48):
So it was a brand new sorority.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
And I think it just came on because I was
out of Southern school and they seem to be all
over down there.
Speaker 9 (02:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (02:56):
We don't have Katie West Coast schools, so not sure.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Same. I don't know any Katie this.
Speaker 8 (03:04):
That's dgg oh that's me. I don't know what Katie
is Katie.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
And they were all really pretty. They were like the
prettiest sorority.
Speaker 8 (03:13):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Yeah, yeah, and it was big. It was probably the
big authority at Maryland. How about Alpha Pi.
Speaker 7 (03:20):
At our school, they're called alphabet What are they bad?
In Sabbatis alphabaties Like, they're just known for just like mogging,
and that's kind of it for what was like to
find logging being super beautiful and that's what they bring
to the table. Their beautiful looks not the worst.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
We didn't have a Fie, but my mom was an
Aphie and she's an angel, so angels, I.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Would say boss lady.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
At our school, they run like all of the student
government it's kind of cold tea, but they definitely look
good while they do it.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
M yeah, more like the popular girls. I feel like
it's always.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Wait, this is so different from my school because I
think they like did not have anyone and they were
very intellectual.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
So at Maryland, I kind.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Of feel like they're like kind of forgettable, like you're
super distinct about any Alpha pie's. They were like nice girls.
They were their houses right behind ours, like like we
didn't have I feel like the houses where the girls
were like really pretty or like had like a reputation.
We kind of had like a little rivalry with nobody
had a rivalry with alphabe. They were just kind of
(04:25):
in descript, non descript.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I feel like Alpha Pye is a West Coast thing
because I hear of it a lot in California schools,
and then also like Arizona schools or Western school I
do feel like a lot of the stereotypes are regional,
which is interesting schools, but its regional to like the
South or the West Coast or the East Coast.
Speaker 8 (04:48):
It's yeah, I totally agree.
Speaker 9 (04:51):
Okay, how about Pi Pi.
Speaker 7 (04:54):
Pi Pi also really nice girls? Just like I'm honestly
very well rounded, very kind very beautiful, very smart, also
beautiful house.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah, at my.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
School, a clique just did not want to associate with
anyone else, not in like an introverted way, but more
so in a like oh you're not a fu, like
you're not cool enough to associate very clique.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
I would say, the funny girls at our school, they're
very much like the funny girls everyone likes.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
I was gonna say, similar to you, Lauren, like kind
of like big headed, they kind of like think very
highly of themselves.
Speaker 8 (05:35):
Yeah, and maybe competitive too.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
I think there's too many sororities.
Speaker 9 (05:39):
I thought they were really fine.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
You're really sororities. I could tell Caleb love this already life,
I could tell. I don't think we had pi FI.
So how about Trydell.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Tried Dell is always just like bold personality, fun outgoing
girls in my.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
Mm hmm we have Tridel Oh god, Oh no, I
didn't even know we had one. No, I think it
was quite Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (06:11):
They're they're well like West Coast schools tried out. It's
not very prominent, so I'd say it's like mid tier.
I don't think I've ever really talked to anyone that
was in tried out, not because I didn't want to,
but maybe because I haven't seen them around. But that
says anything in and of itself.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
So ours, like our school is literally the only West
Coast school where triedaut is actually a really good sorority.
I was in tried out, but also it was a
good sorority. So I'm a little bit biased.
Speaker 8 (06:41):
But we were Yeah, I'm tried out.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
We were very I would say, we're very into our
philanthropy because it's Saint Jude, so it's good we do.
We do all of like that's our main, huge thing. So, yeah,
did you guys have tried out?
Speaker 5 (06:55):
I said last night we had tried out, but it
was tri sick, so no, we didn't. But I almost
went to al Bama, and I think their Tri Sigma
was really good.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
It was a good, good sorty.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Yeah, and it was like when I wanted to rest.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Try tried out at Maryland was a huge sorty and
they were so I grew. I was in college in
the eighties and it was super preppy, like they were
like really nice girls. They dressed really nice, they were
nice to everybody, like a night. My brother was impact
engaged to try it out.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
For a while.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Yeah, right after college. So I like, try it outs, Zeta,
I plead the.
Speaker 8 (07:28):
Fed Yeah, we have one. That's all I know.
Speaker 7 (07:37):
Where you know that you have to go, but you're
just waiting for that round to be over and then
you drop it.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Oh you had to brush it, no matter, but you
had to show up brutal.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
I was lucky enough to make it to like the
third round there, so I was pretty proud.
Speaker 8 (07:51):
Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Literally the only thing that comes into my mind, or
at least the first thing when someone says Zeta is
lamb or because at our school, they all called themselves slammers.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
What is a lammer?
Speaker 8 (08:05):
Slammers?
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Oh yeah, L A N E R.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Because they would say slam like zata love and mine,
that's what it stands for. And so they called themselves
slammers and they would go around. They'd be like, slammers, zam,
where's all as lambers at?
Speaker 8 (08:21):
And it was just like a bit and you.
Speaker 9 (08:23):
Don't know them.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
Only the basket crowned.
Speaker 8 (08:26):
Obviously. They have so many sayings, which is fun if
you're in it, but when you're on the outside of it,
I was like, what's going on here?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Yeah, we didn't have Zata at my school, but I
have two friends that were in Zada at a different school,
and they're so cute and very smart, so I think, yeah,
it just differs.
Speaker 8 (08:44):
It differs. Yeah, Kaitlin, did you guys call you? I know,
did you put yourself a lammer or No?
Speaker 5 (08:50):
I only lasted one semester and I got kicked out.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
But why didn't you just tell us that kicked out story? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (08:59):
Yeah, so they kicked me out and I didn't. Yeah,
I hated it. It was my first fourth choice. I
just kept getting dropped because I was promiscuous and hooking
up with men from other.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
The president of the sororities boyfriends. Yeah, and never that
never works.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
I got my fourth choice and it's not my favorite,
and you didn't care about it.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
We didn't have Zeta, So I'm out on that one. Okay.
Speaker 7 (09:25):
Sigma Kappla, Oh I love ESK. They have a very
very beautiful house at our school, really really kind girls.
One of my best friends from high school is in
that house. I've always just had really like very warm impressions,
Like you walk away from a conversation with an SK
and it's like, oh, she's a sweetheart.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Yeah, that's like our tried ELTs.
Speaker 8 (09:45):
Yeah, agree, sweethearts. Both my sisters, my real sisters are
as case. Oh, I feel like I don't really know much.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I don't have anything to say. They were kind of
like our rival sorority at my school, so it was
like kind of the two of us butting heads. So
I don't know, I would say, uh, yeah, I know,
like they weren't always the nicest, but maybe but we
(10:15):
just didn't get good impressions.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Of them because maybe because they were your rival sorority.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Yeah, it was just kind of like, oh, I feel
like you're like.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
I feel like everybody's rival sorority is kind of like them,
and you just don't want to face it.
Speaker 8 (10:28):
Yeah, totally.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Yeah, maybe it's like, yeah, it's odd, how about you
non try me? You didn't have a singma company? No,
I think we did, but I don't remember. But again, guys,
it was in the eighties, so you gotta give me
a break on that one.
Speaker 9 (10:42):
Sorry, we'll give you a pass.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Bye, will.
Speaker 7 (11:00):
My sisters will find you. And she went to Purdue,
which I think isn't a huge sorority school, but they
had a really good, wonderful sorority very academic they have
the highest on a roll every single I think, like
highest percentage of students with a four point zero in
their house. Well and smart girls very like work hard,
play hard.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
At my school, it was just an eclectic bunch. It
was just kind of the most random assortment of people,
all nice girls, but it was kind of a sorority
that I looked at and I was like, how is
this cohesive?
Speaker 8 (11:35):
Like how is this a friend group? Like this is
just so interesting? How'd you all end up in this house?
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Because I'd say they were all like the least similar
to each other, whereas in many sororities, I think everyone's
very similar copy and paste.
Speaker 8 (11:46):
But they were an eclectic group of girls, all very nice.
I feel like just Southern Bells.
Speaker 6 (11:51):
We don't have it as far as I know on
the on the West coast, but definitely from what I know,
Southern bell.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I don't know. I don't know any so I can't
I can't sayin.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
Okay, I have a fine news story that was my
second choice. My roommate was a five MEW. She committed
check fraud and tried to steal ten thousand dollars from
my mom.
Speaker 8 (12:15):
It's crazy.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
During finals week, So the Wi Fi router was in
my room and she breaks into my room changes the
Wi Fi passwords so I can't study during finals week.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Like, no, that.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
Is my perception of a five mule. That is crazy, horrible,
and my like the FBI. I think it was nine thousand,
nine hundred dollars because the FBI won't get involved unless
it's ten thousand dollars, So it was.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
It was pretty crazy that she was an evil person.
Speaker 8 (12:44):
She was crazy.
Speaker 9 (12:45):
Did she get kicked out of the school?
Speaker 8 (12:46):
God?
Speaker 5 (12:46):
No, No, she was totally fine. And then I like
went on a date. We got Ben and Jerry's I'm
a broke college student. That's expensive. Yeah, And it's in
the freezer and I'm like, where's my Ben and Jerry
She's sitting on the couch eating it, and she goes,
I don't know what you're talking about. I'm like, I'm
like you, that's all I think of a five.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
You got rid of her as a roommate, right, Yes, Okay,
that's crazy.
Speaker 7 (13:09):
As much as I think they're academic, I do think
the fraud reputation might be uh run running a couple
of houses, because I've also heard a story of the
treasure of my sisters. Five you stealing two hundred thousand
dollars from the national honors of her sorority. Another another
(13:29):
you wrote herself wrote herself her bought her boyfriend in
f one fifty truck. Yeah, and I think used it
for like her own personal services, like getting her hair done,
getting her nails done. Like the entire time. She was
one of like on exec and obviously ended up getting
(13:49):
caught and it's yeah, it's a felony. So she's actually
a felon.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
So okay, that's crazy. Okay, how about Gammify?
Speaker 9 (14:03):
We didn't have it.
Speaker 8 (14:05):
So down to earth. I love the gamifies. One of
my best friends is to gamify And just like.
Speaker 7 (14:10):
Chill girls, CEC, you want to take this one?
Speaker 6 (14:16):
I would say this is probably the smallest and most
least desirable house at the school that we go to.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
No hate, but they are kind of a.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Yik yak meme, and I feel bad for them because
they don't really deserve it, but they're they're I've never
had a bad.
Speaker 8 (14:34):
Interaction, but yeah, Joan, do you know ya yak? What's that?
Do you know what yak yak is?
Speaker 7 (14:39):
No?
Speaker 1 (14:39):
I have no idea, So it's this app where you
can anonymously post things about your college and everybody reads it,
and so people will tell crazy stories and a lot
of times it's all about Greek light and so anonymously
people will like clown on other sureties or just like
telp insane spread rumor all the things.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
And are they usually true or no?
Speaker 9 (15:02):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (15:04):
I would say they usually dramatic size because.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
It has an element of truth, but it's like.
Speaker 8 (15:11):
Totally blown up. But anyways, that's what CC was saying.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
They're kind of a joke on I guess, oh.
Speaker 9 (15:20):
Wake up girl.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
We actually didn't have that already under school, so I'm
not entirely sure. I mean it was kind of a
small We only had like six or ornies made.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
So how about Gamma Phi?
Speaker 8 (15:34):
Did you have a Kaila? No?
Speaker 3 (15:35):
No, we didn't have Gammafi, but we did we The
next one is Alpha Kaya Mega and that came right
when I was leaving, so I don't know anything about it,
but I did to Big Storty.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Now.
Speaker 7 (15:44):
Honestly, no strong impressions. I don't actually know anybody in
Akia at my school, but I do remember they had
a really nice house.
Speaker 8 (15:53):
Kind of same here. No strong impression. I didn't really
know any of them.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Didn't know much.
Speaker 8 (15:57):
Yeah, unremarkable.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
We also didn't have them at my school.
Speaker 9 (16:07):
Yeah, I did have.
Speaker 8 (16:09):
Them at mine.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
I think they were like all destined to be senators
and so they were just doing this to be to
like add to their resume, you know, is that right?
Speaker 9 (16:16):
Yeah, destined to be senators.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
I love that.
Speaker 8 (16:19):
I want to be. That's already I know me, so.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
They wouldn't have had me. But okay, okay, last one, guys,
I can't believe that is a long list. First of all,
don't a zada.
Speaker 7 (16:30):
No, I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
No, I don't either.
Speaker 8 (16:33):
We didn't have it either.
Speaker 7 (16:35):
We didn't have it.
Speaker 8 (16:36):
But I'm assuming it's a Southern thing. I know a
lot of girls that I know. They go to Arizona schools.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
That's like a big deal house that's like tall for
the top house to get into.
Speaker 8 (16:46):
But anywhere else, I don't think I've ever heard of it.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Yeah, same, Lauren like it. They didn't have it at
our school, but some West Coast schools like it's huge.
Speaker 8 (16:54):
So nothing for me.
Speaker 9 (16:56):
Yeah, no, you don't have anither.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Okay, So how accurate do you think the stereotypes are.
Speaker 7 (17:02):
I think it's important. Yeah, I think the regional like
focus is important because it definitely changes depending on like
if you're on the West coast, East coast, Midwest, there's
that like very strong Southern element to sorority life that
just doesn't exist or carry over when you live on
the West coast. But that's definitely important to consider, especially
if you're wanting to join a sorority. Don't always follow
(17:23):
the reputations of someone from a school that might not
be in the same state you're going to.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Very true, I would agree with that one hundred percent.
I think region plays a huge role in it, and
like you can't.
Speaker 8 (17:35):
Believe the stereotypes because it just varies so much school
by school, region by region.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
I also think the size of the sorority matters a lot,
because it's so hard to stereotype a pledge class of
one hundred girls versus a sorority that only has thirty,
And so it really depends on like the numbers as well,
because there can be so many girls in a sorority.
It could be a really big house and it's like
they're the smart house, but like there's always gonna be
(18:00):
girls who are struggling with third grades or they're the
cool girls, and there's always gonna be girls that are
like maybe not as nice or whatever. So I don't know,
I feel like it's really hard to stereotype, and I
feel like they can never be truly accurate.
Speaker 6 (18:17):
And even like every recruitment cycle, I feel like if
you get a one off bad PC or something happens,
like there's always weird flukes in primary recruitment, and so
I feel like, even if you do know the reputations
of a sorority in your school, it can change at
literally the drop of a hat based off of all
(18:37):
of the behavior of the new PC.
Speaker 8 (18:39):
That's a good point.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
It's interesting too, like I mean, depending on how big
your school was, kind of like Lauren Numer saying, just
like you can't really judge like one PC that has
one hundred versus like thirty girls.
Speaker 8 (18:53):
But it really is.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Interesting to think about like how these different schools got
these different stereotypes for these sororities, Like why is they
to different at my school versus like your guys is school.
So it is kind of weird to think about that,
like the origin of each like sorority at the school.
So yeah, I don't know. Again, it's yeah, you can't
really follow stereotypes because it's different everywhere.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
But what do you think?
Speaker 5 (19:17):
I wonder how much it's going to change because gen
Z values like such different things than we do.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
So like the like.
Speaker 8 (19:25):
Quote unquote.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Uncool or whatever you want to call it, like sorority,
I think it's going to be the coolest sorority and
like the one that everyone wants to be. Like, I
think Millennials and gen Z just have such a different
perspective or they're not rushing period. But I'm interested to
see how it shifts.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
So I kind of feel the same way that you do.
I feel like they eve all over time. So like
I was a Delta Gamma at Maryland and like it
was a like kind of dumbl one sorority and I
just went back. They invited me back to do like
a little presentation, like kind of a little speech for
Founder's Day, And they were the smartest girls they all.
Speaker 8 (19:59):
They had the that's GP.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
I only got into that sorority. I wasn't like nearly
cool enough to be an authorty, but I had a
good GPA and they were on academic probation when I
was there and now, like they're the smartest a sorority
on the campus. So they evolve over time a lot.
So I think, you know, you might be in an
evolution period, and I kind of feel like you should
really give extroities a chance, Like you might find your
(20:22):
posse in a sorority that you wouldn't think that may
have been great for you.
Speaker 8 (20:26):
I absolutely agree.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Yeah, I really think it's so important to keep an
open mind and honestly to like take in the least
amount of noise about sororities that you can, especially before RASH,
because it just it can influence you so easily away
from a group of girls.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
I mean, it would have been great for you.
Speaker 8 (20:44):
It sounds cheesy, but like they could be your home,
you know. I know you never know.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
I preference data, and I there's a part of me
that everyone small thinks maybe that would have been a
better match for me. I loved my DG experience, but
I feel like THETA may have been like girls that
were a little more like me.
Speaker 8 (20:59):
I feel like a lot of people have similar experiences.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Aren't as willing to admit that because I want to
just die hard for their sorority. But there's always that
what if when you're talking about two houses, like maybe
a preference one you get another, what could have been?
Or even if you did preference to your sorority, it's like,
what would have happened if they dropped me and I
got my second choice?
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Yeah, I'm interesting to think about it and that it
was my first choice. But I look back and like
I wanted to be like popular, and I was a
kind of nerdy, So I went for the house that
maybe the girls were more popular, and I probably would
have fit in better with the girls that were like
a little less popular and little more like me. Okay,
(21:49):
So I think that we should kind of wrap this up,
and I think, like, going out of this, I'd love
that we have like some good perspectives. So what kind
of advice would you give girls going into rush?
Speaker 7 (22:00):
To follow on Lauren's note, I would say, when you're
going into it for freshmen at least, I've heard a
lot of girls have really positive experiences if they're rushing,
like and they have roommates, to not share what houses
they are liking throughout the process, because it can sway
your opinion and kind of lead you astray, and it
might also make you feel like you need to join
(22:21):
the house with the two girls who already know at
school rather than taking the leap and joining a house
that might be something that's a better fit for you
than your friends. And then my other advice I think
would be just to keep a really open, positive opinion
and be excited to talk to people, be eager to
meet new friends, and to kind of like work on
(22:42):
your elevator pitch a bit, but just keep it natural.
It doesn't need to feel like it's an interview, but
it is an opportunity to learn a lot about yourself.
Speaker 6 (22:52):
I would say the best advice that I ever got
and gave later on after going through recruitment is to
watch how the girls are interacting with each other when
you're not watching, Like watch how they interact with each
other when they're sitting on the ground and they're singing
or they're sitting in the line, Like do they genuinely look.
Speaker 8 (23:10):
Like they like each other?
Speaker 6 (23:12):
I feel like that's a huge thing and that you
can really read through like how performative recruitment can be
if you're really paying attention. So that's a huge thing.
And then another thing is is on pref night, like
look around in the party that you're in, Like those
girls would be your pledge class. So if you look
around and you like the girls, and I mean you
like what you see, then maybe that's a sign that
(23:32):
that could be for you. But if you're looking around
and you know some of the girls and maybe they're
not your cup of tea, and you're between two houses
that you that you love, maybe that's a sign that
maybe you should choose the house where you can see
yourself and the PCs more what you're into.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
M Yeah, and I think too, like if you're going
to a smaller school where maybe there's only like six
sororities like I went to, I feel like I've kind
of noticed, like while I was answering these questions, the
stereotypes are maybe even like like they're even more evident
(24:08):
because it's like, well, this sorority is that, and this
already is that, and there's really no in between. So
I don't know, maybe if you go to a smaller school,
like trying to break those norms and being like well,
once arority doesn't have to be like top hous er,
once already doesn't have to be you know, just smart
and stuff like that, and just kind of really getting
to know the girls versus the thing that really just
(24:29):
dictates them to the rest of the school. Caitlin, I
would say, like, let go of the like.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
Notions of each sorority and like whoever it's like the
cool sorority, the second tier soroty, whatever it is, like
the rankings of it all, and just like whoever you
connect with, because it's gonna make like the most of
your college experience.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Yeah, I totally agree. I feel like it's a two
way street. Like I felt when like when I was rushing,
like I needed to impress them and I needed to
show my best self, and I didn't do a really
good job probably of interviewing them the same way that
they were kind of looking at me.
Speaker 8 (25:02):
So to realize it's a two way street.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
To make sure you're asking important questions about like this
is a really loud buss, sorry if you're hearing all
that background noise, So like interview them, like make sure
that I was I needed to study. I was a
computer science major. Make sure that they make like make
sure that you have time to study. And it's not
all about partying or if you like want to be
a partier, then that's the right authority, So I think
(25:28):
that you have to it's a two way street. You
have to remember that. I kind of learned that a
little bit on Bachelor two, Like it's a two ay street.
I wanted to like make all the men like me,
but then I like I needed to learn about them.
What do you guys think?
Speaker 8 (25:39):
Power agree?
