advice for freshman
by: FreshmanI’m a freshman girl planning on rushing in the winter. I’ve heard things like “guys won’t talk to you if you’re in a lower tier sorority” is this actually true??? I find it to be crazy and if that’s how Greek life really is I’m not sure if it’s the place for me ... opinions?

Everyone in Greek life has the same experience, just with different social circles. If you are in a "lower tier" sorority, you will enjoy all the benefits of those in "top tier". Don't get caught up in that petty HS drama. Go through recruitment and find the house where you click with the women. Don't worry about what guys think. You are going to be living with and hanging with the ladies 24/7. That is what is important.

Why not ask the FRAT's? If the guys would pair with other sorority's or if the Sorority's would pair with other Frat's!!!
Life would be more interesting. Plus,I can finally meet new people!
ex: Beta/ ASA Phi Sig/SK, ChiO/ DU, Alpha Phi/ DChi.
Now that would be something to TALK about within the IU GREEK SYSTEM!

I honestly the think the frats care more about tiers than anyone. I know for a fact most don’t even reply to sororities they think they’re “better” than. It’s sad and I wish it would change.

Q: Do you know what they call 95% of the girls who only target the top tier houses during rush???
A: GED
80% of what you read on this site probably comes from less than 20% of the Greek population and some of those are the disgruntled ones that have been kicked off. The majority of the people could care less about the tier system and have a great overall experience. Less drama in the Mid tier houses any way. Keep an open mind, IU rush is brutal and even though it has gotten better the last few years, it is still one of the hardest out there. Do not limit your options if you want to be in IU Greek Life.

Coming from a girl in a lower tier sorority, we honestly do not get the same perks as being in a top tier sorority. It’s harder for us to get into parties that aren’t our pairs bc houses that are “better” than us are really weird about that, and it’s harder to meet guys in other houses because we have a really limited number of pairs now because frats got kicked off. Girls in “good” houses can really get in anywhere.
That being said I LOVE my friends and my house and wouldn’t change it, and I love the guys I met, but I just wish we had more social opportunities. To say we have the same opportunities as a top house unfortunately is false.
But that shouldn’t deter you from picking a house you love even if it is lower tier. Having good friends you get along with and can feel comfortable around and genuinely bond with is the most important thing, and you WILL have fun no matter where you end up
