  my best friend dropped at rush because she was put off by the fact that she was being asked what her parents salaries were.

  I can’t imagine wanting to put yourself through this after high school. You spend a ridiculous amount of money, you get heavily judged, lots of unnecessary stress from drama when college is stressful enough.

  I honestly can't wrap my head around the reason that greek life still exists. Especially with all the massive scandals and literal CRIME that has happened involving them. That being said. You go to college to learn. what the heck is the point of all this extra bs. get your dorm, go to class, study and just relax when you have time. You'll be much happier I'm sure.

  That whole drama sounds like some middle school BS. Are you sure these ladies were college age? Anyway, glad you got out of that situation. It's not worth your time, money, and most importantly your mental health.

  As a former RA I would recommend not to room with friends from Childhood, I have seen so many friendships blow up and rooming situations become unstable. Good luck all!!!

  I attempted to join a fraternity in college. Worst mistake of my life. I got dropped by them over a rumor about something I didn’t even do, but again it’s all about protecting the organization’s image. It’s all about image. Greek life is really just a way for the rich assholes from your high school to feel important again.

  To any girls watching this currently... sororities are NOT the end-all-be-all of university life. If you find a sorority that you love - thats great! but I encourage you ladies to join clubs and associations that matter to YOU. THAT is where youre going to find life-long friends!

  Was in a sorority for two years. Terrible experience. Toxic environment. Fake friends. Probably one of the loneliest times in my life was living in the house. They judge you if you party a lot judge you if you don’t. It always felt like a lose lose situation.

  I went to nursing school at a religiously-affiliated university, and they did not allow Greek life on their campus. I can see why. Sounds like a big, divisive waste of time and energy.

  Not a girl but this happened in the Fraternity I was in. Beyond toxic environment. So glad I was given the clarity to understand what a bad environment it was and to escape it. You are not alone and you determine your own happiness. You never need to rely on anyone else for you to be happy. It comes from within.

  Girls like the ones you talked about in your sorority are still in that immature high school mode. It's good that you chose to leave that stuff behind, and become a part of the real adult world. Nobody needs that kind of extra stress and negativity in their life. You came out being the better person!
