So my roommate went through sorority recruitment last week. I've never been the girl that was the sorority "type" so I decided not to go through rush. Not to mention how expensive it is. I was happy for my roommate, who is one of my best friendsw, but at the same time I wondered if she would be different after she joined a sorority. Everyone knows the stereotypes that go along with being in a sorority. We've all seen Legally Blonde and movies like it that show how dumb and snotty and shallow sorority girls are. So I figured, well there goes my best friend. Once she joins the sorority she's going to ditch me for her sorority and she's going to be a shallow bitch.
Well Thursday she invited me to go out with her and her sorority sisters. So I went, as skeptical as I was. I knew as soon as I walked in the door they would look at me and think I'm a bitch or something because I'm not in their sorority and they won't talk to me and I will be soooo bored. But to my surprise as soon as we walked in I was greeted by a crazy fun girl who seemed so glad to have me there even though she had never met me, and all the rest of the girls were nice too. I was kind of like huh? This isn't how it works. Why aren't they snobby? Why don't I hate them?
They've already invited me back to events with them and they made me feel like one of them even though I'm not even in their sorority. It totally changed the way I looked at them. And I've alwayd been the kind of girl who hated the sorority type-dumb blonde-ditzy girls. But they were not like that at all. It's crazy but I guess you really can't judge a book by it's cover, to be completely trite.

I used to think the same thing about sorority girls. Going through half of rush, I learned there are very few girls here who are really that stereotypical prissy, bitchy, stuck up sorority girl type
It's interesting, isn't it, when your preconceived notions are challenged?
It's great because Memphis's Greek system is so small and everyone knows everyone else. But I had a lot of doubt before going through rush because I didn't think I fit the stereotype, but I learned that the girls I'm sisters with now gave me their hearts without even knowing me. I don't get dressed up and I've been a tomboy all my life, but there's so many different kinds of girls once you get past the stereotypes.
