“bottom tier” sorority

My absolute favorite during Spring Rush was a supposed bottom tier. And I was crushed when I didn't get a bid. I'm in a top-to-middle now, and in all honestly, if I knew then what I know know, I probably would not have accepted a bid. I've made a few close friends, but this isn't the sisterhood I envisioned sadly. Tiers are dumb.

There are no bottom tier sororities. Your sorority is wherever you want to be. The only top is what's top to you. Tiers are nothing more than an old (dying) made-up system designed to feed fragile egos.

Pledge wherever you want, whoever you like. Tiers are so high school.

My personal experience is that the so-called lower tiers tend to be more inclusive and more well-rounded in membership. Apparently Greek Rank has me in a bottom tier, but it's tops to me because I love who's in it. Can't stress enough: Don't let tier opinions guide your decision to rush. Be true to yourself. We all are having a great time!

It all comes down to your priorities. If things like image and social status are super important to you, and heavy partying and drinking are your scene, then, yeah, maybe a lower won't be for you. On the other hand, if you're in it to find sisterhood, a supportive community, and view college as a healthy balance of academics and social life, then checking out the lower tiers is definitely worthwhile and I think you'll find lots of welcoming women.

Finally, this post isn't intended to be judgemental. It's just how it is. We all have different priorities in life and want different things. I don't see tiers as high or low, or good versus bad, just different. I've yet to meet any girl in any sorority here, high or low, who doesn't love where she is.

I say, go for it! See what the "bottoms" have to offer. Honestly, they're all under-rated and under estimated, but, sadly, that's just how the Greek community is up here.

Buncha hot-bottomed girls in the bottoms, from what I've seen!
