everyone please
by: Really?I understand that, right now, it may seem important for some of you to come on here and challenge others regarding which houses are "hotter". However, when you graduate, and you are applying for jobs or internships, telling your future employer that your sorority at UF was the hottest is not going to get you the job. Being a poised, intelligent, and sociable person will. Hard work is what will get you places in life. Of course I'm not an idiot, I do realize that, unfortunately those who are attractive can get further in life with their looks, but that alone will not get you THAT far. I just want to ask you guys to try and give rankings based on deeper things, not just appearances. Things like sisterhood/brotherhood, involvement, and if these people are really genuine and good to others. It hurts me to think that some of you wont gain anything from being in your sorority besides a mutual group understanding within your chapter that it's important to be shallow, which is not true nor a positive way to think. There are beautiful girls in every chapter on campus, there are also girls who have beautiful hearts who deserve to be mentioned just the same. Can we please stop judging one another based on looks and come together to teach PC 15' more than just how to be mean to those who aren't within their circle or "pretty"? We're supposed to be their mentors, and so far this site makes us look like jerks, not role models. Let's inspire these girls to be awesome on the inside too.

whoever down-voted this comment probably also made the "top girls in each house" post, they don't really jive with nice things like this! haha

Everything is so true on all of these posts and I'm loving this thread. There is so much honesty and wisdom here.
I'm a senior in another "top" house and I came to campus with quite a few of my H.S. classmates, one who pledged Zeta. She and I have remained good friends but I have to say I've heard A LOT about the inner workings of Zeta and most of it isn't great. From an outsider's perspective Zeta looks like it would be hard to stick with and I can see why many people don't care for them. It's not jealousy, it's that they want to avoid the drama.
This friend has a handful of close friends in the house - mostly her "family" - and she also wishes the atmosphere was more sisterly and less competitive.

waiting for chapter tonight, I bet money this will be brought up, addressed, and we will get lectured about "bashing" our own chapter. Just like we get called out for not "acting like a ZTA" 24/7. Especially PC 14', that was literally ALL out chapter meetings were about in the fall, never did anything to strengthen our sisterhood.

This just reinforces what I've heard many times; that you're supposed to "act like a Zeta", like, follow a script or behave a certain way that your nationals promotes. How are you supposed to be individuals or think for yourselves when you graduate?

Your new members last fall got that sort of lecture? How can you feel sisterly then? That's not the way to bond at all which is sad.

Basically. When we had too much fun or enjoyed ourselves in a way that the older girls didn't approve, we would get lectured at chapter. They said we "were the worst behaving PC they had ever seen." When all we really ever did was get a little too drunk occasionally, as freshman do, and act out at parties. We never did anything to deserve to be scolded so often. Happy I love my PC so much, otherwise I'd be long gone.

Interesting, since certain members are known drinkers. They can be seen drunk themselves several nights a week, hanging onto and hugging everyone while falling down in the fraternity houses and midtown bars. What great examples they set. Not.

Of course there's separation in a lot of the top tier houses. I'm in KD and I have a few very close friends but I'm sometimes cautious when approaching some of the girls in my sorority. We have, i would say, a relatively strong sisterhood, but it could definitely use some improvement. A lot of judgmental girls who could care less about getting to know you if they've heard anything negative about you.

I really like this thread because it allows girls to be honest without being bashed by anonymous posters. If we can make positive changes in the panhellenic community that would really be awesome. Maybe cut down on the ranking a little bit. My friend goes to UCLA and their GR site is a lot less cruel and dramatic lol.

KD doesn't have the same problems as ZTA but we definitely have some room for improvement when it comes to coming together and all being friends. That's why I joined in the first place! :)

I agree and if this would've been posted in 2012 many would've chosen differently and had better sorority experiences. I hope and pray that next year things change and that new attitudes prevail in Greek life.
