<p>Peg, I can see where someone with no greek letter experience could be influended by movies like House Bunny and Sorority Wars that sterotype greeks negatively. My experince however, was positive, and my sisters are life long friends. I want the same for my daughter, and hopefully have prepared her for recruitment, and the fact that she may not get invites to all the houses she would like. It’s really not any different than job interviews, theatre or music auditions, pageants, or scholarship interviews. It’s competitive,
but in the end most girls end up in a house where they are happy. It’s part of the culture of many southern schools.
Btw way, my sorority little sis was Jewish. She transfered to IU after freshman year because our school, (her home state flagship) did not have enough Jewish boys in the dating pool. This was 30 years ago. As far as I know, she was the only Jewish member we had, and we loved her.</p>
