That's why I thought you were being sarcastic, bc you're usually like "Oh, every sorority is awesome!!" lol

Oh, hahaha. Yes, I do believe every sorority is awesome. Penn State's Dance Marathon is going on (I think this weekend) soon and it was started by none other than the Greeks at PSU. It is the LARGEST Student-Run philanthropy in the WORLD. You know who helped raise over 7.49 million dollars in just ONE year-last year? I'll tell you who! GREEKS!

All of the Greeks on this board, especially if they have a chapter at Penn State should take pride in knowing that whether or not they are "bottom-tier" or "top-tier" at Penn State, their brothers and sisters are doing incredible things for children with cancer. That is the kind of stuff that makes me proud to be a Phi Mu and proud to be a Greek.

Disclaimer: I guess I should have let everyone know I was joking about the "fatty" remark. I would not go around making fun of people based on how they look. I don't want anyone getting the wrong idea about me. In fact, I believe that no matter what size you are or how attractive/ unattractive you may be, you can still be a great asset to a GLO if you are willing to be a great member!

I've watched girls who would be lucky to get an invite back from ANYONE (because they lack certain social graces, they don't have that glowing resume or decent enough GPA, etc.) act like complete snobs to women in various sororities because these girls thought they were "too good" for the sisters. It infuriates me.

The OP, who clearly has self-esteem issues, has the audacity to go on an internet site asking how she can make sure to get into a "top-tier" chapter when chances are (if her low self-esteem shines through during recruitment) she'll be lucky to get a bid from a "lower-tier" sorority.

Personally, I don't believe in "tiers" and I want that to be known. I've said it before. I will say it again. ALL of the NPC sororities have something incredible to offer. Stop worrying about who is #1.
THANK YOU!
By the way, I don't think you were out of line at all. She deserved it. It seems that as of late, we have had an influx of (shall we say?) interesting PNMs...
She got her second opinion on here (after going to yahoo). I betcha she wishes she didn't do that

Seriously - and why on earth did the OP use her IRL name?

jcubb713, I really try hard not to be the joy killer here, but you pretty much ruined your own chances. Ironically, more because of the Yahoo! question than here, but the super sleuths here did give a larger audience to it.

I wish you luck, but would advise you to maximize your options to the fullest.

Why is everyone afraid this thread may be locked? She asked a question. People are answering it.

I think the yahoo answers people are far more entertaining!

Sounds like you wouldn't let her into your Junior League chapter either - well, she can join my top tier Junior League chapter then.
This made NO sense. We are talking about GLOs and not Junior Leagues. I guess I was unaware that the Junior League chapters were ranked in tiers, as well. For you to make that comment makes me wonder what that means you are saying about the chapter of your GLO in comparison to your Junior League chapter. I love my Junior League chapter, as well as, my collegiate and alumnae chapters of my GLO. What an odd comment to make.

FWIW, I wouldn't trash talk your GLO, either. Because my cousin is a member of your organization, I wouldn't say anything hateful about it. Keep that in mind.

As far as this girl wanting to be in a "top tier" chapter, you said that the group she wants may not even be top tier. Ummmm...Did you READ the TITLE of the thread? If you did, I'm sure you'd see why I said what I said.
