You should have joined a professional fraternity if you want be with mature students. However thats why its important to know how people in the fraternity are like before you join. I'm in a social frat but a good majority of them are committed to their school work.

Watching an episode of "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" is what brought me here.

Maybe, but it's not suitable for people who only worship the one true God.....it's basically another religion or a cult.

aka the cool people, u loosers can move on

@Jordyn Leigh that's what a cult member would say

Hannah Bruce lmao nowadays if people wanna be popular you have to use social media 😂

Hannah Bruce you sound salty

It really depends. Differnet sororities have different motives and values

🤣🤣🤣

Not true haha

Dont worry, Syracuse Greek system already went ahead and confirmed they are absolute cesspools, and so has essentially 80% of other ones across the country

Yep!!!!

And that matters why?

WanderingOldSoul I totally agree, it confuses me because I’m sure if you asked most of these girls why they think they’re “the best” they wouldn’t have a real answer that truly has anything to do with themselves. It feels like these young women are repeating terms like “values” and “best version of myself” but many of the things they do is to receive validation from others within their social groups.. Sorority life doesn’t seem like the best fit for young people who are truly trying to grow up and be independent and learn more about themselves as people, the concept just seems quite damaging. I feel very sad that sororities misrepresent themselves and let these young adults fall into their traps.

I've always felt this way about sororities. They take advantage of young, vulnerable minds and pressures them to smash into a cookie cutter persona. I've known quite a few girls from my high school days that eventually chose to go into sororities and it was not a coincidence that many of those girls in high school were rude, judgmental, and just all around "mean girls". College is about finding individuality, inching away from domestication, and finding their own paths. When you're in a fraternity or sorority, you are turning your back on independency and individuality and trading that for comfortability, friends that are paid for, and lack of social interaction past that lifestyle.

Everything does but this sounds like a white person thing...

Mia D wish I could say the same for Syracuse. Unfortunately, I go to a school where Greek life is huge, and you feel pressured into joining, even though you could be against it.

My school had a huge greek herd. But, the school was so big that they kind of "exclusivated" themselves into oblivion. I noticed them some during the beginning of my freshman year. But, except for two or three isolated occasions, I never noticed them after that (even though they were embarrassingly obnoxious and drew unbecoming attention to themselves at every conceivable opportunity.) I never could imagine myself living a life with that little dignity.

Honestly though. My ex-roommate is in a sorority and after I quickly watched her becoming entitled and going home but not wanting me to come with her for a weekend when my mom had a heart attack...she quickly turned into a sour person and it’s that sorority that changed her that way.

Mia D Big ups to Canadian colleges and universities for not having them

That's not true lmao

Bc you’re not a bigot who can’t imagine living with minorities. I understand the benefits of it but you can’t deny it’s just a barrier to allow white girls to segregate themselves.

I have had that. It depends if you are good at the group 'culture' or if you grait against it. I would probably grate against it to some extent.

I do not know,I never was greeked.

The people who judge don't do volunteer work...

@ aidan france Greek life can be toxic, not every member is as they claim to be. Many Greeks are mentally stuck in middle school….that’s the harsh reality. That of course doesn’t apply to every member, but it definitely applies to the majority.

Grammar check please?

That's like racism lol.

Yeah let’s hear what the atheist has to say about social life

Sounds like somebody didn't get a bid

the way u spelled stupid probably implies you didn't go to college or a fraternity

@@knm4428 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

@@StellarJAGuar What's being an atheist gotta do with it?

Yea it depends on where people go

Pedro smith ok, but are actually paying for housing and other services, that costs money.

Pedro smith If you pay someone to be your friend then YOU are not friend worthy.

You know, some of these girls go into sororities with an open mind and find it to nit be what they expected. During rush, things are picture perfect and once pledged, things change. Rules are applied and expectations are high.

You are paying for a budget not friends. Ever heard of utilities, insurance, events, supplies, other miscellaneous expenses? Attend a budget meeting and you’ll see

@Sofia Toral Either way, if the girls in particular sorority are toxic and have a middle school personality, then those costs aren’t worth it.

asseater007 what’s different?

Black fraternities are

They missed out on it and now they have to pretend it was for the best all along.

‘You can’t even get in’ - that there is the problem. These societies are an excuse for people to feel privileged and exclusive and to look down on others.

@@CymruEmergencyResponder That's not true at all... Well I guess it depends on who you talk to because there are some entitled people who belong to them but the people I've met are just looking for a way to meet friends and build connections for a good college experience. That's literally it for some. None of the you can't get in or us vs them unless you're looking for an extension of highschool which is a personality issue not a sorority issue

Robyn Dismon yes, each chapter and sorority has its own. It’s called google and it’s FREE!

@@GC-pq6vm Sorry sweetie, by no means am I taken aback and suddenly.challenged by u or your poor attempt at sarcasm. Google is not free. So back up Betty.

@@GC-pq6vm person A: so why should I join your frat/sorority Person B: hah just Google it Convincing argument

I'm in greek life and the whole philanthropy thing is a tiny portion. Rush is a fake marketing scheme and it's sad. I'm against sororities 100%. I'm actually about to drop.

Awks Dev Most of them are like that and nothing changes. Half of the sororities and fraternities at my school are on probation and nothing’s changed.

A comment that I actually agree with! Thank you!

Not Peggy oh my God hahahahah

Angelica Schuyler Church so? He’s just watching them

Same here

Greek Life as in Sororities and Fraternities

In a large sorority now, I'm about to drop. The stereotypes are 100 percent true.

Girl, blink if you want to be saved. You do not sound like what you wrote.

Joining a sorority was the best decision I’ve probably ever made. My house is so diverse and there’s a variety of those who want to go out often and those who decide to stay in on the weekends. It’s way more than what a good percentage of non-sorority members view of it- we are making a difference in our community and they are truly my extended family. Thank you for standing up for us! ❤️

I think you didn't see the video or you have learning problems because they actually show a group of people that they were saying the same as you ( at 01:43) . 🤦‍♂️ But the main point Is most of them are bad, half of the sororities are on probation for a reason... And nothing change. The ones that are good like you say are not even good because they don't change the paradigms. As example do you think good ones change othe people minds and influence them in to being a better student? The answer is no the good ones remain the same with the same number of students trying to get in, while the bad ones attract more students so they do change things for worse... That's why it's a critical issue.

It sounds like she didnt have the makings of becoming a varsity athlete. Also her shinebox sucks

As a person of color who joined a "white" sorority (quotes because that's changing) its everywhere but not in every house. It depends on the reason why you're joining. There are people who want an extended version of highschool who only care about whose attractive or cool, but there are others like the one I joined that values and focuses on diversity and individuality. I grew up in a predominantly white school and I'm the suburbs so it was where I found my place easier but I also just hate the separation and I am trying to help be the difference so more people of color feel welcomed in places that used to be white only or anything like that. But it's not all bad and some are honestly great I joined one but unfortunately that lack of the cookie cutter image or party girl image gets us listed as bottom tier and weird without people actually meeting us. I try to make friends with people outside of Greek Life to avoid being put into a box because of the reputation of my sorority or Greek Life in general because I just want to be comfortable to be myself and not miss out on any opportunities or experiences

What does her haircut have to do with it? She is probably more educated than you.

How are the black sororities? Are they more welcoming? Just curious

@@RhiannaBarr college life is dead everybody online now lmao

You dont know anything about your own culture. Sad. Look up greco roman mystery religions

Anonymous Poster Wait a min, aren't you the one who kept trying to sneak unmarked boxes of "meat" into the halls? Thought you would've been sectioned or arrested by now tbh.

Kalle Scope clearly the situation she was describing was not fun.

Oh PLEASE UGH 🙄🙄🙄😐😑😑

How is shining a light on the negatives of sororities (generally speaking) ruining it for everyone else? Are you FOR sororities judging the people that want to join based off of their looks and weight?

Life is not fun.

Just because something is “fun” doesn’t mean it’s always “ok”. Really immature response
