[1:31] Speaker 9: Yeah, they were kind of nice girls, kind of.
[1:33] Speaker 8: Nice girl like top.
[1:36] Speaker 1: Well, I was data top and grades like, kind of smart,

[1:44] Speaker 8: Marylyn they were kind of nice girls girls. Okay, I
[1:47] Speaker 8: don't remember them there. How about Kyo?
[1:52] Speaker 7: Really sweet? That was the second house I was considering.
[1:55] Speaker 7: I just felt like they were very genuine.
[1:58] Speaker 8: I would say, down to earth, psychotic.
[2:02] Speaker 7: Oh school, So I'm curious what your Have you.
[2:08] Speaker 6: Not heard any Kios stories from our school spill?
[2:13] Speaker 7: I only heard of the story of the man who's
[2:14] Speaker 7: snuck in and stole someone's underwear.
[2:16] Speaker 2: Oh that's creepy.
[2:17] Speaker 8: Yeah.
[2:18] Speaker 6: Berkeley Kyo is another.
[2:19] Speaker 8: Story, Calen, what do you think.
[2:22] Speaker 5: I've never heard of the sorority in my life?
[2:23] Speaker 9: Kyo, we didn't have Kyo.
[2:25] Speaker 3: I heard of them there. They were a big sorority,
[2:27] Speaker 3: but we didn't have them at Maryland. So okay, how
[2:30] Speaker 3: about Katie?
[2:32] Speaker 8: Did not? I have no you are Katie Zeta?
[2:35] Speaker 5: You Aretaida?
[2:37] Speaker 6: Oh z ok.
[2:38] Speaker 1: When I think of Katie, I think southern. I feel
[2:40] Speaker 1: like all the Southern schools have Katie and we didn't
[2:43] Speaker 1: have it, but we added a new house on my
[2:46] Speaker 1: senior year and it was Katie.
[2:48] Speaker 8: So it was a brand new sorority.
[2:50] Speaker 1: And I think it just came on because I was
[2:51] Speaker 1: out of Southern school and they seem to be all
[2:53] Speaker 1: over down there.
[2:54] Speaker 9: Yeah.
[2:55] Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
[2:56] Speaker 6: We don't have Katie West Coast schools, so not sure.
[3:00] Speaker 2: Same. I don't know any Katie this.
[3:04] Speaker 8: That's dgg oh that's me. I don't know what Katie
[3:07] Speaker 8: is Katie.
[3:09] Speaker 3: And they were all really pretty. They were like the
[3:11] Speaker 3: prettiest sorority.
[3:13] Speaker 8: Wow.
[3:13] Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and it was big. It was probably the
[3:14] Speaker 3: big authority at Maryland. How about Alpha Pi.
[3:20] Speaker 7: At our school, they're called alphabet What are they bad?
[3:23] Speaker 7: In Sabbatis alphabaties Like, they're just known for just like mogging,
[3:28] Speaker 7: and that's kind of it for what was like to
[3:30] Speaker 7: find logging being super beautiful and that's what they bring
[3:35] Speaker 7: to the table. Their beautiful looks not the worst.
[3:39] Speaker 1: We didn't have a Fie, but my mom was an
[3:41] Speaker 1: Aphie and she's an angel, so angels, I.
[3:45] Speaker 4: Would say boss lady.
[3:47] Speaker 6: At our school, they run like all of the student
[3:49] Speaker 6: government it's kind of cold tea, but they definitely look
[3:51] Speaker 6: good while they do it.
[3:52] Speaker 2: M yeah, more like the popular girls. I feel like
[3:56] Speaker 2: it's always.
[3:56] Speaker 5: Wait, this is so different from my school because I
[3:58] Speaker 5: think they like did not have anyone and they were
[4:01] Speaker 5: very intellectual.
[4:03] Speaker 2: So at Maryland, I kind.
[4:04] Speaker 3: Of feel like they're like kind of forgettable, like you're
[4:08] Speaker 3: super distinct about any Alpha pie's. They were like nice girls.
[4:11] Speaker 3: They were their houses right behind ours, like like we
[4:14] Speaker 3: didn't have I feel like the houses where the girls
[4:17] Speaker 3: were like really pretty or like had like a reputation.
[4:19] Speaker 3: We kind of had like a little rivalry with nobody
[4:22] Speaker 3: had a rivalry with alphabe. They were just kind of
[4:25] Speaker 3: in descript, non descript.
[4:28] Speaker 1: I feel like Alpha Pye is a West Coast thing
[4:30] Speaker 1: because I hear of it a lot in California schools,
[4:33] Speaker 1: and then also like Arizona schools or Western school I
[4:38] Speaker 1: do feel like a lot of the stereotypes are regional,
[4:40] Speaker 1: which is interesting schools, but its regional to like the
[4:46] Speaker 1: South or the West Coast or the East Coast.
[4:48] Speaker 8: It's yeah, I totally agree.
[4:51] Speaker 9: Okay, how about Pi Pi.
[4:54] Speaker 7: Pi Pi also really nice girls? Just like I'm honestly
[5:00] Speaker 7: very well rounded, very kind very beautiful, very smart, also
[5:04] Speaker 7: beautiful house.
[5:07] Speaker 2: Yeah, at my.
[5:08] Speaker 1: School, a clique just did not want to associate with
[5:12] Speaker 1: anyone else, not in like an introverted way, but more
[5:16] Speaker 1: so in a like oh you're not a fu, like
[5:18] Speaker 1: you're not cool enough to associate very clique.
[5:23] Speaker 6: I would say, the funny girls at our school, they're
[5:25] Speaker 6: very much like the funny girls everyone likes.
[5:28] Speaker 2: I was gonna say, similar to you, Lauren, like kind
[5:30] Speaker 2: of like big headed, they kind of like think very
[5:33] Speaker 2: highly of themselves.
[5:35] Speaker 8: Yeah, and maybe competitive too.
[5:37] Speaker 5: I think there's too many sororities.
[5:39] Speaker 9: I thought they were really fine.
[5:43] Speaker 3: You're really sororities. I could tell Caleb love this already life,
[5:49] Speaker 3: I could tell. I don't think we had pi FI.
[5:51] Speaker 3: So how about Trydell.
[5:54] Speaker 1: Tried Dell is always just like bold personality, fun outgoing
[5:58] Speaker 1: girls in my.
[6:00] Speaker 7: Mm hmm we have Tridel Oh god, Oh no, I
[6:04] Speaker 7: didn't even know we had one. No, I think it
[6:09] Speaker 7: was quite Yeah, I don't know.
[6:11] Speaker 6: They're they're well like West Coast schools tried out. It's
[6:15] Speaker 6: not very prominent, so I'd say it's like mid tier.
[6:18] Speaker 6: I don't think I've ever really talked to anyone that
[6:20] Speaker 6: was in tried out, not because I didn't want to,
[6:23] Speaker 6: but maybe because I haven't seen them around. But that
[6:25] Speaker 6: says anything in and of itself.
[6:27] Speaker 2: So ours, like our school is literally the only West
[6:31] Speaker 2: Coast school where triedaut is actually a really good sorority.
[6:35] Speaker 2: I was in tried out, but also it was a
[6:38] Speaker 2: good sorority. So I'm a little bit biased.
[6:41] Speaker 8: But we were Yeah, I'm tried out.
[6:44] Speaker 2: We were very I would say, we're very into our
[6:46] Speaker 2: philanthropy because it's Saint Jude, so it's good we do.
[6:49] Speaker 2: We do all of like that's our main, huge thing. So, yeah,
[6:53] Speaker 2: did you guys have tried out?
[6:55] Speaker 5: I said last night we had tried out, but it
[6:56] Speaker 5: was tri sick, so no, we didn't. But I almost
[6:59] Speaker 5: went to al Bama, and I think their Tri Sigma
[7:01] Speaker 5: was really good.
[7:02] Speaker 3: It was a good, good sorty.
[7:03] Speaker 2: Yeah, and it was like when I wanted to rest.
[7:05] Speaker 3: Try tried out at Maryland was a huge sorty and
[7:07] Speaker 3: they were so I grew. I was in college in
[7:10] Speaker 3: the eighties and it was super preppy, like they were
[7:12] Speaker 3: like really nice girls. They dressed really nice, they were
[7:15] Speaker 3: nice to everybody, like a night. My brother was impact
[7:17] Speaker 3: engaged to try it out.
[7:18] Speaker 2: For a while.
[7:19] Speaker 3: Yeah, right after college. So I like, try it outs, Zeta,
[7:27] Speaker 3: I plead the.
[7:28] Speaker 8: Fed Yeah, we have one. That's all I know.
[7:37] Speaker 7: Where you know that you have to go, but you're
[7:39] Speaker 7: just waiting for that round to be over and then
[7:41] Speaker 7: you drop it.
[7:42] Speaker 3: Oh you had to brush it, no matter, but you
[7:45] Speaker 3: had to show up brutal.
[7:48] Speaker 6: I was lucky enough to make it to like the
[7:49] Speaker 6: third round there, so I was pretty proud.
[7:51] Speaker 8: Thank you, thank you.
[7:53] Speaker 4: Wow.
[7:54] Speaker 1: Literally the only thing that comes into my mind, or
[7:57] Speaker 1: at least the first thing when someone says Zeta is
[7:59] Speaker 1: lamb or because at our school, they all called themselves slammers.
[8:04] Speaker 4: What is a lammer?
[8:05] Speaker 8: Slammers?
[8:06] Speaker 2: Oh yeah, L A N E R.
[8:09] Speaker 1: Because they would say slam like zata love and mine,
[8:13] Speaker 1: that's what it stands for. And so they called themselves
[8:16] Speaker 1: slammers and they would go around. They'd be like, slammers, zam,
[8:19] Speaker 1: where's all as lambers at?
[8:21] Speaker 8: And it was just like a bit and you.
[8:23] Speaker 9: Don't know them.
[8:25] Speaker 6: Only the basket crowned.
[8:26] Speaker 8: Obviously. They have so many sayings, which is fun if
[8:30] Speaker 8: you're in it, but when you're on the outside of it,
[8:32] Speaker 8: I was like, what's going on here?
[8:34] Speaker 2: Yeah, we didn't have Zata at my school, but I
[8:36] Speaker 2: have two friends that were in Zada at a different school,
[8:39] Speaker 2: and they're so cute and very smart, so I think, yeah,
[8:43] Speaker 2: it just differs.
[8:44] Speaker 8: It differs. Yeah, Kaitlin, did you guys call you? I know,
[8:48] Speaker 8: did you put yourself a lammer or No?
[8:50] Speaker 5: I only lasted one semester and I got kicked out.
[8:54] Speaker 3: But why didn't you just tell us that kicked out story? Yeah?
[8:59] Speaker 5: Yeah, so they kicked me out and I didn't. Yeah,
[9:01] Speaker 5: I hated it. It was my first fourth choice. I
[9:04] Speaker 5: just kept getting dropped because I was promiscuous and hooking
[9:10] Speaker 5: up with men from other.
[9:13] Speaker 3: The president of the sororities boyfriends. Yeah, and never that
[9:16] Speaker 3: never works.
[9:18] Speaker 5: I got my fourth choice and it's not my favorite,
[9:21] Speaker 5: and you didn't care about it.
[9:23] Speaker 3: We didn't have Zeta, So I'm out on that one. Okay.
[9:25] Speaker 7: Sigma Kappla, Oh I love ESK. They have a very
[9:30] Speaker 7: very beautiful house at our school, really really kind girls.
[9:34] Speaker 7: One of my best friends from high school is in
[9:36] Speaker 7: that house. I've always just had really like very warm impressions,
[9:39] Speaker 7: Like you walk away from a conversation with an SK
[9:41] Speaker 7: and it's like, oh, she's a sweetheart.
[9:43] Speaker 3: Yeah, that's like our tried ELTs.
[9:45] Speaker 8: Yeah, agree, sweethearts. Both my sisters, my real sisters are
[9:49] Speaker 8: as case. Oh, I feel like I don't really know much.
[9:54] Speaker 2: I don't have anything to say. They were kind of
[9:58] Speaker 2: like our rival sorority at my school, so it was
[10:01] Speaker 2: like kind of the two of us butting heads. So
[10:05] Speaker 2: I don't know, I would say, uh, yeah, I know,
[10:12] Speaker 2: like they weren't always the nicest, but maybe but we
[10:15] Speaker 2: just didn't get good impressions.
[10:16] Speaker 3: Of them because maybe because they were your rival sorority.
[10:20] Speaker 2: Yeah, it was just kind of like, oh, I feel
[10:22] Speaker 2: like you're like.
[10:23] Speaker 3: I feel like everybody's rival sorority is kind of like them,
[10:26] Speaker 3: and you just don't want to face it.
[10:28] Speaker 8: Yeah, totally.
[10:28] Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe it's like, yeah, it's odd, how about you
[10:33] Speaker 3: non try me? You didn't have a singma company? No,
[10:35] Speaker 3: I think we did, but I don't remember. But again, guys,
[10:39] Speaker 3: it was in the eighties, so you gotta give me
[10:41] Speaker 3: a break on that one.
[10:42] Speaker 9: Sorry, we'll give you a pass.
[10:58] Speaker 2: Bye, will.
[11:00] Speaker 7: My sisters will find you. And she went to Purdue,
[11:04] Speaker 7: which I think isn't a huge sorority school, but they
[11:07] Speaker 7: had a really good, wonderful sorority very academic they have
[11:11] Speaker 7: the highest on a roll every single I think, like
[11:13] Speaker 7: highest percentage of students with a four point zero in
[11:16] Speaker 7: their house. Well and smart girls very like work hard,
[11:20] Speaker 7: play hard.
[11:22] Speaker 1: At my school, it was just an eclectic bunch. It
[11:25] Speaker 1: was just kind of the most random assortment of people,
[11:29] Speaker 1: all nice girls, but it was kind of a sorority
[11:32] Speaker 1: that I looked at and I was like, how is
[11:34] Speaker 1: this cohesive?
[11:35] Speaker 8: Like how is this a friend group? Like this is
[11:36] Speaker 8: just so interesting? How'd you all end up in this house?
[11:39] Speaker 1: Because I'd say they were all like the least similar
[11:41] Speaker 1: to each other, whereas in many sororities, I think everyone's
[11:44] Speaker 1: very similar copy and paste.
[11:46] Speaker 8: But they were an eclectic group of girls, all very nice.
[11:50] Speaker 8: I feel like just Southern Bells.
[11:51] Speaker 6: We don't have it as far as I know on
[11:53] Speaker 6: the on the West coast, but definitely from what I know,
[11:56] Speaker 6: Southern bell.
[11:58] Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know any so I can't
[12:01] Speaker 2: I can't sayin.
[12:02] Speaker 5: Okay, I have a fine news story that was my
[12:06] Speaker 5: second choice. My roommate was a five MEW. She committed
[12:09] Speaker 5: check fraud and tried to steal ten thousand dollars from
[12:11] Speaker 5: my mom.
[12:15] Speaker 8: It's crazy.
[12:16] Speaker 5: During finals week, So the Wi Fi router was in
[12:20] Speaker 5: my room and she breaks into my room changes the
[12:23] Speaker 5: Wi Fi passwords so I can't study during finals week.
[12:25] Speaker 2: Like, no, that.
[12:27] Speaker 5: Is my perception of a five mule. That is crazy, horrible,
[12:31] Speaker 5: and my like the FBI. I think it was nine thousand,
[12:35] Speaker 5: nine hundred dollars because the FBI won't get involved unless
[12:38] Speaker 5: it's ten thousand dollars, So it was.
[12:40] Speaker 2: It was pretty crazy that she was an evil person.
[12:44] Speaker 8: She was crazy.
[12:45] Speaker 9: Did she get kicked out of the school?
[12:46] Speaker 8: God?
[12:46] Speaker 5: No, No, she was totally fine. And then I like
[12:49] Speaker 5: went on a date. We got Ben and Jerry's I'm
[12:51] Speaker 5: a broke college student. That's expensive. Yeah, And it's in
[12:55] Speaker 5: the freezer and I'm like, where's my Ben and Jerry
[12:57] Speaker 5: She's sitting on the couch eating it, and she goes,
[12:58] Speaker 5: I don't know what you're talking about. I'm like, I'm
[13:00] Speaker 5: like you, that's all I think of a five.
[13:05] Speaker 3: You got rid of her as a roommate, right, Yes, Okay,
[13:08] Speaker 3: that's crazy.
[13:09] Speaker 7: As much as I think they're academic, I do think
[13:11] Speaker 7: the fraud reputation might be uh run running a couple
[13:16] Speaker 7: of houses, because I've also heard a story of the
[13:19] Speaker 7: treasure of my sisters. Five you stealing two hundred thousand
[13:22] Speaker 7: dollars from the national honors of her sorority. Another another
[13:29] Speaker 7: you wrote herself wrote herself her bought her boyfriend in
[13:34] Speaker 7: f one fifty truck. Yeah, and I think used it
[13:39] Speaker 7: for like her own personal services, like getting her hair done,
[13:42] Speaker 7: getting her nails done. Like the entire time. She was
[13:44] Speaker 7: one of like on exec and obviously ended up getting
[13:49] Speaker 7: caught and it's yeah, it's a felony. So she's actually
[13:55] Speaker 7: a felon.
[13:55] Speaker 3: So okay, that's crazy. Okay, how about Gammify?
[14:03] Speaker 9: We didn't have it.
[14:05] Speaker 8: So down to earth. I love the gamifies. One of
[14:08] Speaker 8: my best friends is to gamify And just like.
[14:10] Speaker 7: Chill girls, CEC, you want to take this one?
[14:16] Speaker 6: I would say this is probably the smallest and most
[14:22] Speaker 6: least desirable house at the school that we go to.
[14:25] Speaker 3: No hate, but they are kind of a.
[14:29] Speaker 6: Yik yak meme, and I feel bad for them because
[14:31] Speaker 6: they don't really deserve it, but they're they're I've never
[14:34] Speaker 6: had a bad.
[14:34] Speaker 8: Interaction, but yeah, Joan, do you know ya yak? What's that?
[14:37] Speaker 8: Do you know what yak yak is?
[14:39] Speaker 7: No?
[14:39] Speaker 1: I have no idea, So it's this app where you
[14:41] Speaker 1: can anonymously post things about your college and everybody reads it,
[14:46] Speaker 1: and so people will tell crazy stories and a lot
[14:49] Speaker 1: of times it's all about Greek light and so anonymously
[14:52] Speaker 1: people will like clown on other sureties or just like
[14:57] Speaker 1: telp insane spread rumor all the things.
[15:00] Speaker 3: And are they usually true or no?
[15:02] Speaker 9: Uh?
[15:04] Speaker 1: I would say they usually dramatic size because.
[15:08] Speaker 3: It has an element of truth, but it's like.
[15:11] Speaker 8: Totally blown up. But anyways, that's what CC was saying.
[15:14] Speaker 1: They're kind of a joke on I guess, oh.
[15:20] Speaker 9: Wake up girl.
[15:23] Speaker 2: We actually didn't have that already under school, so I'm
[15:25] Speaker 2: not entirely sure. I mean it was kind of a
[15:30] Speaker 2: small We only had like six or ornies made.
[15:32] Speaker 3: So how about Gamma Phi?
[15:34] Speaker 8: Did you have a Kaila? No?
[15:35] Speaker 3: No, we didn't have Gammafi, but we did we The
[15:38] Speaker 3: next one is Alpha Kaya Mega and that came right
[15:40] Speaker 3: when I was leaving, so I don't know anything about it,
[15:42] Speaker 3: but I did to Big Storty.
[15:44] Speaker 5: Now.
[15:44] Speaker 7: Honestly, no strong impressions. I don't actually know anybody in
[15:49] Speaker 7: Akia at my school, but I do remember they had
[15:52] Speaker 7: a really nice house.
[15:53] Speaker 8: Kind of same here. No strong impression. I didn't really
[15:56] Speaker 8: know any of them.
[15:57] Speaker 3: Didn't know much.
[15:57] Speaker 8: Yeah, unremarkable.
[16:05] Speaker 2: We also didn't have them at my school.
[16:07] Speaker 9: Yeah, I did have.
[16:09] Speaker 8: Them at mine.
[16:09] Speaker 5: I think they were like all destined to be senators
[16:12] Speaker 5: and so they were just doing this to be to
[16:14] Speaker 5: like add to their resume, you know, is that right?
[16:16] Speaker 9: Yeah, destined to be senators.
[16:19] Speaker 3: I love that.
[16:19] Speaker 8: I want to be. That's already I know me, so.
[16:22] Speaker 3: They wouldn't have had me. But okay, okay, last one, guys,
[16:26] Speaker 3: I can't believe that is a long list. First of all,
[16:28] Speaker 3: don't a zada.
[16:30] Speaker 7: No, I have no idea.
[16:31] Speaker 3: No, I don't either.
[16:33] Speaker 8: We didn't have it either.
[16:35] Speaker 7: We didn't have it.
[16:36] Speaker 8: But I'm assuming it's a Southern thing. I know a
[16:39] Speaker 8: lot of girls that I know. They go to Arizona schools.
[16:42] Speaker 1: That's like a big deal house that's like tall for
[16:44] Speaker 1: the top house to get into.
[16:46] Speaker 8: But anywhere else, I don't think I've ever heard of it.
[16:49] Speaker 2: Yeah, same, Lauren like it. They didn't have it at
[16:51] Speaker 2: our school, but some West Coast schools like it's huge.
[16:54] Speaker 8: So nothing for me.
[16:56] Speaker 9: Yeah, no, you don't have anither.
[16:58] Speaker 3: Okay, So how accurate do you think the stereotypes are.
[17:02] Speaker 7: I think it's important. Yeah, I think the regional like
[17:05] Speaker 7: focus is important because it definitely changes depending on like
[17:09] Speaker 7: if you're on the West coast, East coast, Midwest, there's
[17:12] Speaker 7: that like very strong Southern element to sorority life that
[17:15] Speaker 7: just doesn't exist or carry over when you live on
[17:17] Speaker 7: the West coast. But that's definitely important to consider, especially
[17:21] Speaker 7: if you're wanting to join a sorority. Don't always follow
[17:23] Speaker 7: the reputations of someone from a school that might not
[17:27] Speaker 7: be in the same state you're going to.
[17:28] Speaker 1: Very true, I would agree with that one hundred percent.
[17:32] Speaker 1: I think region plays a huge role in it, and
[17:34] Speaker 1: like you can't.
[17:35] Speaker 8: Believe the stereotypes because it just varies so much school
[17:38] Speaker 8: by school, region by region.
[17:40] Speaker 1: I also think the size of the sorority matters a lot,
[17:43] Speaker 1: because it's so hard to stereotype a pledge class of
[17:47] Speaker 1: one hundred girls versus a sorority that only has thirty,
[17:51] Speaker 1: And so it really depends on like the numbers as well,
[17:54] Speaker 1: because there can be so many girls in a sorority.
[17:57] Speaker 1: It could be a really big house and it's like
[17:58] Speaker 1: they're the smart house, but like there's always gonna be
[18:00] Speaker 1: girls who are struggling with third grades or they're the
[18:03] Speaker 1: cool girls, and there's always gonna be girls that are
[18:05] Speaker 1: like maybe not as nice or whatever. So I don't know,
[18:11] Speaker 1: I feel like it's really hard to stereotype, and I
[18:13] Speaker 1: feel like they can never be truly accurate.
[18:17] Speaker 6: And even like every recruitment cycle, I feel like if
[18:20] Speaker 6: you get a one off bad PC or something happens,
[18:24] Speaker 6: like there's always weird flukes in primary recruitment, and so
[18:27] Speaker 6: I feel like, even if you do know the reputations
[18:31] Speaker 6: of a sorority in your school, it can change at
[18:34] Speaker 6: literally the drop of a hat based off of all
[18:37] Speaker 6: of the behavior of the new PC.
[18:39] Speaker 8: That's a good point.
[18:41] Speaker 2: It's interesting too, like I mean, depending on how big
[18:45] Speaker 2: your school was, kind of like Lauren Numer saying, just
[18:47] Speaker 2: like you can't really judge like one PC that has
[18:50] Speaker 2: one hundred versus like thirty girls.
[18:53] Speaker 8: But it really is.
[18:54] Speaker 2: Interesting to think about like how these different schools got
[18:57] Speaker 2: these different stereotypes for these sororities, Like why is they
[19:01] Speaker 2: to different at my school versus like your guys is school.
[19:05] Speaker 2: So it is kind of weird to think about that,
[19:07] Speaker 2: like the origin of each like sorority at the school.
[19:10] Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't know. Again, it's yeah, you can't
[19:13] Speaker 2: really follow stereotypes because it's different everywhere.
[19:16] Speaker 3: But what do you think?
[19:17] Speaker 5: I wonder how much it's going to change because gen
[19:19] Speaker 5: Z values like such different things than we do.
[19:23] Speaker 2: So like the like.
[19:25] Speaker 8: Quote unquote.
[19:27] Speaker 5: Uncool or whatever you want to call it, like sorority,
[19:30] Speaker 5: I think it's going to be the coolest sorority and
[19:32] Speaker 5: like the one that everyone wants to be. Like, I
[19:34] Speaker 5: think Millennials and gen Z just have such a different
[19:36] Speaker 5: perspective or they're not rushing period. But I'm interested to
[19:39] Speaker 5: see how it shifts.
[19:41] Speaker 3: So I kind of feel the same way that you do.
[19:43] Speaker 3: I feel like they eve all over time. So like
[19:45] Speaker 3: I was a Delta Gamma at Maryland and like it
[19:48] Speaker 3: was a like kind of dumbl one sorority and I
[19:51] Speaker 3: just went back. They invited me back to do like
[19:53] Speaker 3: a little presentation, like kind of a little speech for
[19:56] Speaker 3: Founder's Day, And they were the smartest girls they all.
[19:59] Speaker 8: They had the that's GP.
[20:00] Speaker 3: I only got into that sorority. I wasn't like nearly
[20:03] Speaker 3: cool enough to be an authorty, but I had a
[20:05] Speaker 3: good GPA and they were on academic probation when I
[20:07] Speaker 3: was there and now, like they're the smartest a sorority
[20:10] Speaker 3: on the campus. So they evolve over time a lot.
[20:12] Speaker 3: So I think, you know, you might be in an
[20:15] Speaker 3: evolution period, and I kind of feel like you should
[20:18] Speaker 3: really give extroities a chance, Like you might find your
[20:22] Speaker 3: posse in a sorority that you wouldn't think that may
[20:25] Speaker 3: have been great for you.
[20:26] Speaker 8: I absolutely agree.
[20:27] Speaker 1: Yeah, I really think it's so important to keep an
[20:29] Speaker 1: open mind and honestly to like take in the least
[20:34] Speaker 1: amount of noise about sororities that you can, especially before RASH,
[20:38] Speaker 1: because it just it can influence you so easily away
[20:42] Speaker 1: from a group of girls.
[20:43] Speaker 3: I mean, it would have been great for you.
[20:44] Speaker 8: It sounds cheesy, but like they could be your home,
[20:47] Speaker 8: you know. I know you never know.
[20:49] Speaker 3: I preference data, and I there's a part of me
[20:51] Speaker 3: that everyone small thinks maybe that would have been a
[20:53] Speaker 3: better match for me. I loved my DG experience, but
[20:56] Speaker 3: I feel like THETA may have been like girls that
[20:58] Speaker 3: were a little more like me.
[20:59] Speaker 8: I feel like a lot of people have similar experiences.
[21:02] Speaker 1: Aren't as willing to admit that because I want to
[21:05] Speaker 1: just die hard for their sorority. But there's always that
[21:08] Speaker 1: what if when you're talking about two houses, like maybe
[21:11] Speaker 1: a preference one you get another, what could have been?
[21:14] Speaker 1: Or even if you did preference to your sorority, it's like,
[21:16] Speaker 1: what would have happened if they dropped me and I
[21:18] Speaker 1: got my second choice?
[21:19] Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm interesting to think about it and that it
[21:21] Speaker 3: was my first choice. But I look back and like
[21:23] Speaker 3: I wanted to be like popular, and I was a
[21:26] Speaker 3: kind of nerdy, So I went for the house that
[21:29] Speaker 3: maybe the girls were more popular, and I probably would
[21:31] Speaker 3: have fit in better with the girls that were like
[21:33] Speaker 3: a little less popular and little more like me. Okay,
[21:49] Speaker 3: So I think that we should kind of wrap this up,
[21:51] Speaker 3: and I think, like, going out of this, I'd love
[21:53] Speaker 3: that we have like some good perspectives. So what kind
[21:55] Speaker 3: of advice would you give girls going into rush?
[22:00] Speaker 7: To follow on Lauren's note, I would say, when you're
[22:02] Speaker 7: going into it for freshmen at least, I've heard a
[22:06] Speaker 7: lot of girls have really positive experiences if they're rushing,
[22:10] Speaker 7: like and they have roommates, to not share what houses
[22:13] Speaker 7: they are liking throughout the process, because it can sway
[22:16] Speaker 7: your opinion and kind of lead you astray, and it
[22:19] Speaker 7: might also make you feel like you need to join
[22:21] Speaker 7: the house with the two girls who already know at
[22:22] Speaker 7: school rather than taking the leap and joining a house
[22:25] Speaker 7: that might be something that's a better fit for you
[22:28] Speaker 7: than your friends. And then my other advice I think
[22:31] Speaker 7: would be just to keep a really open, positive opinion
[22:35] Speaker 7: and be excited to talk to people, be eager to
[22:39] Speaker 7: meet new friends, and to kind of like work on
[22:42] Speaker 7: your elevator pitch a bit, but just keep it natural.
[22:45] Speaker 7: It doesn't need to feel like it's an interview, but
[22:48] Speaker 7: it is an opportunity to learn a lot about yourself.
[22:52] Speaker 6: I would say the best advice that I ever got
[22:54] Speaker 6: and gave later on after going through recruitment is to
[22:59] Speaker 6: watch how the girls are interacting with each other when
[23:02] Speaker 6: you're not watching, Like watch how they interact with each
[23:06] Speaker 6: other when they're sitting on the ground and they're singing
[23:08] Speaker 6: or they're sitting in the line, Like do they genuinely look.
[23:10] Speaker 8: Like they like each other?
[23:12] Speaker 6: I feel like that's a huge thing and that you
[23:13] Speaker 6: can really read through like how performative recruitment can be
[23:17] Speaker 6: if you're really paying attention. So that's a huge thing.
[23:19] Speaker 6: And then another thing is is on pref night, like
[23:22] Speaker 6: look around in the party that you're in, Like those
[23:25] Speaker 6: girls would be your pledge class. So if you look
[23:27] Speaker 6: around and you like the girls, and I mean you
[23:30] Speaker 6: like what you see, then maybe that's a sign that
[23:32] Speaker 6: that could be for you. But if you're looking around
[23:35] Speaker 6: and you know some of the girls and maybe they're
[23:36] Speaker 6: not your cup of tea, and you're between two houses
[23:39] Speaker 6: that you that you love, maybe that's a sign that
[23:41] Speaker 6: maybe you should choose the house where you can see
[23:43] Speaker 6: yourself and the PCs more what you're into.
[23:47] Speaker 2: M Yeah, and I think too, like if you're going
[23:51] Speaker 2: to a smaller school where maybe there's only like six
[23:55] Speaker 2: sororities like I went to, I feel like I've kind
[23:59] Speaker 2: of noticed, like while I was answering these questions, the
[24:01] Speaker 2: stereotypes are maybe even like like they're even more evident
[24:08] Speaker 2: because it's like, well, this sorority is that, and this
[24:10] Speaker 2: already is that, and there's really no in between. So
[24:13] Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe if you go to a smaller school,
[24:15] Speaker 2: like trying to break those norms and being like well,
[24:19] Speaker 2: once arority doesn't have to be like top hous er,
[24:21] Speaker 2: once already doesn't have to be you know, just smart
[24:24] Speaker 2: and stuff like that, and just kind of really getting
[24:26] Speaker 2: to know the girls versus the thing that really just
[24:29] Speaker 2: dictates them to the rest of the school. Caitlin, I
[24:34] Speaker 2: would say, like, let go of the like.
[24:37] Speaker 5: Notions of each sorority and like whoever it's like the
[24:41] Speaker 5: cool sorority, the second tier soroty, whatever it is, like
[24:43] Speaker 5: the rankings of it all, and just like whoever you
[24:46] Speaker 5: connect with, because it's gonna make like the most of
[24:48] Speaker 5: your college experience.
[24:50] Speaker 3: Yeah, I totally agree. I feel like it's a two
[24:51] Speaker 3: way street. Like I felt when like when I was rushing,
[24:54] Speaker 3: like I needed to impress them and I needed to
[24:56] Speaker 3: show my best self, and I didn't do a really
[24:58] Speaker 3: good job probably of interviewing them the same way that
[25:00] Speaker 3: they were kind of looking at me.
[25:02] Speaker 8: So to realize it's a two way street.
[25:05] Speaker 3: To make sure you're asking important questions about like this
[25:08] Speaker 3: is a really loud buss, sorry if you're hearing all
[25:11] Speaker 3: that background noise, So like interview them, like make sure
[25:14] Speaker 3: that I was I needed to study. I was a
[25:16] Speaker 3: computer science major. Make sure that they make like make
[25:19] Speaker 3: sure that you have time to study. And it's not
[25:21] Speaker 3: all about partying or if you like want to be
[25:24] Speaker 3: a partier, then that's the right authority, So I think
[25:28] Speaker 3: that you have to it's a two way street. You
[25:29] Speaker 3: have to remember that. I kind of learned that a
[25:31] Speaker 3: little bit on Bachelor two, Like it's a two ay street.
[25:33] Speaker 3: I wanted to like make all the men like me,
[25:35] Speaker 3: but then I like I needed to learn about them.
[25:38] Speaker 3: What do you guys think?
[25:39] Speaker 8: Power agree?
