RE: Were you in a sorority?

JoceyBaby23 · Gucci

I pledged two in less than four years.. The first.. Alpha Sigma Alpha got dropped from my school before I was initiated.. and the second, Alpha Sigma Tau.. well I dropped out.. Sororities were NOT for me!

Another Alpha Chi Omega here - although I wasn't very involved with the sorority.

I wasn't a good sorority girl either. Got called in front of the review board and came very close to getting kicked out due to the "sisterhood event" my friend and I planned. Basically, we weren't going to anything, so the leadership forced us to plan an event and let's just say the event we planned was offensive to some (which was the whole point, because we were making a "statement" in our juvenile way).

I still say the only reason we survived is because we both had good GPAs and were really involved in campus organizations in leadership positions, meaning it would have made our sorority look bad if we were kicked out...

A few months later, three girls were kicked out for something far less shocking...

Me too. I'm guessing strippers. Or a BJ tutor like in Old School.

I wasn't in one -- it wasn't really my scene. But at my school, which was pretty big, all the greeks looked, dressed, and acted the same (we called them Jeffs and Megans, b/c they all seemed to be named that), and they were all about partying. I think I might have enjoyed being in one at a smaller school. Oh, and I also worked for the campus paper, which the frats and sororities hated. They called us Gamma Delta Iotas (aka G_d Damn Independents).

OMG!! GDI! That's so hilarious! I wasn't in one either. I ran with the music/theatre crowd and we were too 'out there' for the sororities, I think.

Not a traditional Greek sorority (too expensive for my parents to stomach that that would cost more than my Cal State eductation) - but I was in an Asian sorority (more evident at So. Cal universities) Delta Chi Omicron. The older sisters were soo picky about the girls they'd let in - that the pledge classes kept getting smaller and smaller til that last two classes they kicked all the pledges out and the sorority went defunct.

But I did just go to my 'sister's' wedding last night and that bond we'll always share!

I was actually a brother in this fraternity. Yes I am a girl. I wasn't a social greek. Its a National Honors Fraternity that you pledge just like anything greek organization, but its not "social". I loved it at first... then like everyone else I hated it. I met my best friends there and that is the best thing that ever came out of it.

lol...no, but my friends and i made up our own anti-sorority called SALLE (with an accent over the e - pronounced sally), after the first letters of our names. we even made up shirts and wore them on days the greeks would wear theirs. and we "hazed" this one girl - made her wear all this stupid stuff and walk around, made her steal stuff from the people in our hall (we were in a special program freshman year, so we knew everyone in the hall - and they got their stuff back). totally hilarious.

there were TONS of greeks at my school, one of the four quads of dorms on campus was all sorority/fraternity people.

I need to change my address. My parents get my Themis and I always get it after they are done reading it.
