Honestly, if I am a corrupt leader, I would trust someone from the same fraternity way more over stuff like political party or religion.

It relates to being prissy, classy, and ladylike when they say "pretty girls" rather than physical appearances. Pretty in your actions and the way you carry yourself, like how people say "beautiful soul". But in every sorority, there will be bias based on appearances but that's not what AKA's motto refers to.

I have definitely reached out to college friends before to get interviews or just to learn more about the company they're at when I was thinking of switching jobs. It's easier to make friends and connect with people in college compared to when you've started working. Mostly it takes a lot more effort and financial investment to make and maintain friends after school because schedules don't always match and people usually disperse into different places and start living their own lives.

Most student organizations have some sort of "dues," not just Greek organizations. Dues go toward running the chapter, paying for the events they put on, etc. A difference with Greeks is that a lot of times dues are a bit higher, and that's because they put on more social events that just cost more money to host. Things like food, drinks, decor, event spaces, etc - these things don't just materialize out of thin air :) The student organization has to pay for them with the dues they collect.

Dues can be very expensive, depending on the school. That’s part of the way I decided not to rush in college because it can really add up.

My university had no Greek life but the sports teams all had their own townhouses and basically had raging parties. My graduate school had a few frats and sororities but they weren't a big part of the overall campus culture, just sort of their own entities. Just always seemed expensive and like you HAD to follow certain rules and I personally just wanted to enjoy school and not have expectations of my free time and who I spent time with.

I was on financial aid at a very wealthy school, and I saved up all of my money from working a retail job over the summer and breaks to pay my own dues. I made some friends in my sorority, and it gave me something to do, but I don't know that it was worth the time and money at the end of the day. I wonder now what I could have done if I had been able to save that money and use that time to explore additional educational opportunities. It also might surprise a lot of people to learn that hazing really isn't a thing in a lot of sororities, especially national sororities. I was literally never hazed.

you can definitely see the difference between "popular girl sorority sisters" and others in this video. like some of these girls are clearly more high status, with not paying dues and how they view partying and rush. It's hard because some days I feel like sororities are such a fun cool experience I wished I joined, but other times I realize how humiliating or unfair The Who greek system is. with financial status, pretty privilege and how sisters are treated by each other and the guys from frats.

if you’re not in a sorority or haven’t been in one, it’s easy to have preconceived ideas about it and frown on it. but there are a lot of positives and fun memories, it made my college years so memorable and i did meet life long friends. also people who are not greek still like to “party”, that’s a college thing not just a greek thing, and i don’t think there’s anything wrong with that if that’s what someone wants to do :)

I’m from the UK and at my university I was part of a cheerleading team. At my university the sport teams were very similar to Greek life in America. I can agree that finances are biggest issue. So many friends who were at sports team we were told about basic costs but not everything else. It cost so much money and it was a source of stress. I will say it was worth it though because of the social connections you make.

You have barely educated individuals gaining access into high-paying positions with little to no morals. But then again, it’s also just stupidity on management as a whole to hire individuals with no sense of morality and common sense.

I joined a sorority and dropped it because of how expensive it was… it was like paying rent. SEC schools are another level

i rushed at a big 12 school and transferred to a smaller college closer to my house, and the difference of how the sororities are is just massive. a lot of the “bad” sororities, the looks based, party only, and etc mostly just are at the big name state schools in the south. the sororities at my smaller state school are extremely laid back and accept members of all races and body types, which i love. not to say we don’t have one or two more so “traditional” sororities, it’s just much less frequent. it all really depends on the individual schools!

Late to the party, but I think this style of video with girls who go to southern universities would be so interesting. Such as SEC schools like Alabama, LSU, Auburn, A&M, etc. I attended UH and was in Greek life but the culture and experience there were much much different compared to my friends who went to big Greek life schools. I've heard horror stories about SEC schools, both in sororities and fraternities, and the pressure and financial aspects are truly on another level. I don't regret my time in my sorority, but the system as a whole needs a major reboot, and it's definitely not something everyone would enjoy. LICO.

Thank you so much for including Multicultural and Divine 9 greeks!

Sororities are really cult-like, if you look up what cults do and what sororities so it matches up a little too well for my liking.

Here’s the thing if the white woman with blonde hair got up and started teaching about how to treat black people or minorities people would scrutinize her and say why doesn’t she have someone with experience teaching them on the subject. I’m black and it feels like when you are white and especially blonde there’s no way for them to win. People keep trying to tell them they aren’t doing enough. And keep in mind she’s the only sorority pledge that actually talked about inclusion. The rest of them preached exclusion smh.

Facts lmao. Some black people actively work to make it difficult for white people to be allies. There is no perfect way to be anti racist, fully educated, an educator on diversity issues and taken seriously as a blonde, thin white woman. It will almost always come off as disingenuous bc people have their own insecurities and projections within. Also, black people in black sororities telling non black people to justify their interest in joining at the same time have a problem with predominantly white sororities trying to include diverse people in their ranks. Damned if you do; damned if you don’t. If I was white in 2023, I’d really stop giving a damn.

The women of color did not preach exclusion, on the contrary, they just said that there has to be a genuine and meaningful reason as to why a white individual would want to join an all black sorority. Black sororities were originally in place due to the exclusion and racism black women faced when trying to join white sororities (and that's if they were even allowed to apply to the college).

I honestly agree. As a woman of color in a sorority I definitely notice a difference between having a POC Vs. Non-poc in that position and I personally prefer having a POC because they know what it’s like to live as a POC. I also agree that it shouldn’t be the burden of POC to educate white people but I just feel like generally the perspective gives you a different insight into the experience of a person of color and I also just feel more represented as a WOC myself when it is a POC in that position but 🤷🏽‍♀️

In theory, I would love to join an organization that is designed to unite and uplift women. But with so many underlying issues around racism, beauty standards, money, social pressures, homophobia, etc-sororities really only have negative connotations in my mind, which is sad and I honestly think has a lot of roots in the patriarchy.

I moved to America in college and was instantly confused by Greek life. I don’t know why it’s a thing and anyone who tried to explain it to me couldn’t actually explain it.

Love Livs honesty!!

Wow this was so wholesome and encouraging to see women in my age group communicating like this. Thank you so much for doing this. This gives me hope

As someone who's from Asia (Southeast Asia to be exact) this video is wild (in a sense - since we don't have things like these) yet quite insightful.

Such a refreshing well informed video

As a current sorority girl, It was interesting to hear all of these different stories. I could relate to a ton of these stories especially the money aspect. I wish I could pay for girls dues.

im so happy a divine 9 sorority was included

I don't party and I know a ton of people on my campus. Its because I'm a social person in school, am an active member of multiple clubs, and like to put myself out there. College can be very different than how they portrayed it. It often seems like social sorority girls put themselves in a bubble and forget that this is a whole different world of being a college student that they are missing.

Frat boys next! That would get messy real quick

i forget that some people's parents help them pay for college lmao

In the uk someone may travel to study or if its too far they will move and may live in student accommodation but its just like flat sharing with mates nothing like this frat house situation..

ok i NEED grace to go more into detail abt sdsu, i want to rush in the fall there!!

I’m in a sorority and them talking about how expensive the social aspect is and WOW YES it causes a barrier having to work and not be able to go out like the other girls

love that you included an AKA!

As someone in a PHC sorority at a university (not SEC) with a large focus on greek life, I agree with so much of what they are saying but they really didn't talk about how amplified all of these feelings are, especially during points like recruitment.

A similar video on fraternity brothers would be interesting, if it hasn't been done.
