I’ve heard of girls getting bids their second time through, but only a few. I personally wouldn’t recommend going through formal a second time, but maybe looking into if chapters on your campus have opens or informal recruitment. Also, take a step back and evaluate why you want to join an sorority. Make sure your values line up with the organization you choose.

As always, I want to invite anyone who has an opinion to feel free to express it.

It stands for God Damn Independent.

I hate the term GDI. It’s disrespectful and fuels Greek stereotypes.

I always find myself fighting the urge to pour a drink or throw a punch at GDI’s that constantly bash on Greek life. Especially the ones that have never even gone through recruitment. It pisses me off even more when I see those same GDIs partying on Greek Row. If you hate us that much, why are you constantly partying with us?

My bestfriends’ sorority is part of the reason why there are stereotypes about us greeks. Sometimes I’m ashamed to hang around them.

I feel like people take Greek Week way too seriously at my school. What should be a week of friendly competition between Greeks turns into a rush to see who can play dirtier than everyone else. I’m scared that if people don’t calm down, somebody will seriously get hurt.

I’m glad a sister is going inactive. She’s caused nothing but drama: badmouthing us to the Alumni who have stopped talking to us, demanded a Little no one felt she deserved (she wanted one just to have one) and has since made herself to be the victim to the alum, further pissing them off. She claims we don’t practice what we preach yet is the least sisterly. I wish I could have reached out but she’s made it clear she wants nothing more to do with us.

Our council will be welcoming in two rival sororities. Our other chapters have a bad history with them and I want it to be different here, especially because I’m friends with a few founders from each interest group. I’ve made a genuine effort to reach out and support their fundraisers and events in hopes of getting off on the right foot. I wish my sisters my sisters would do the same and understand we are not for everyone and not everyone is for us. Don’t monopolize.

i think i pledged the wrong sorority and now i cant do anything
