Cool Pnm @ Ubc

Hey everyone! I visited here for the first time today, and everyone seems so nice! My recruitment starts this Saturday, September 21rst, and I'm SO excited, and nervous! If anyone has any tips, that would be great. I loved reading all the other messages of those rushing! Anyone here from UBC, I'd love to hear from you!

Thanks guys! I'm so excited! As canadajen said, at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, there are:

Alpha Delta Pi
Alpha Gamma Delta
Alpha Phi
Gamma Phi Beta
Delta Gamma
Delta Phi Epsilon
Kappa Kappa Gamma

Coming to UBC, I didn't even think about sororities.
I read the article in Seventeen, and it pretty much made it into a popularity contest, and gave the impression that everyone was bitchy, blond, skinny rich girls.
I knew it couldn't be that bad, but it turned me off the idea.
Then, at one of our orientations, a guide started talking about sorority life to any girls interested, and it sounds so fun! She also said that the media and people's stereotypes are WAY off, and give Canadian sororities (and ALL, from the sounds of you guys) a bad name; plus, UBC has a strict no hazing rule.
It's really hard to meet people, especially living off campus, so I thought this would be a great way to get involved!
Anyway, thanks for all the support guys! I'll be sure to keep you posted!


P.S. Check out the UBC Panhellenic Council website! I love their logo for this year!

No thanks to Seventeen! Ekk.
Sorority life is not like that at all, and I'm glad you're taking the time to figure that out.
Goodluck to you, it looks like you have lots of great orgs to choose from!!!
love,
M

There was an article about sororities in Seventeen? Do you remember what issue?

That's kind of funny, because I remember that back in, like 1997, there was an article in Seventeen about rush at the University of Michigan, and it was one of the first things I ever read/watched/heard of that painted sororities in a positive light!

Anyway, good luck to you, I hope you have lots of fun during recruitment!
