Thoughts on Greek Life?

article image placeholderUploaded by @livblair
I think that's the big thing for me with those is I really wouldn't like being told like, oh, you're going to do this at a certain time just because I like to kind of make my own schedule and make my own plans. But I don't know, I was just curious on what other people thought about them. Yeah, I really like my professional fraternity because it's like career based, but it's also a really good time

@livblair hi liv i dont even knkw how this app works but im bored and figured i would give my input as a girl in a social sorority (love u miss u)

But after being in it for a while, I honestly have gotten a lot better about it and I feel really proud to be a part of it, but I don't know, I just feel like I'm adding to this conversation as someone who's a part of a social story

And I feel like some that can get the way with, I want to be in the top one. And it was funny because the other day I was, like, selling clothes in the park with my two friends, and this girl came and bought clothes. She was so sweet. It was just so funny because she went, Are you guys in Theta? You look like you're in Theta. And I was like, I don't know what that means

I never really seen it from another perspective. I feel like if I didn't have them for the weekend events, like mainly I wouldn't know anything honestly because when I went to FCC my freshman year especially, I didn't really make that many friends in my first year and I didn't really know of many things and IB, so I only knew of those fired parties. So I definitely know if I went to CSP I would have wanted to rush for sure

If they give you a bid, they know what's best, and they know that you'll fit for that sorority, so you should definitely join. And they didn't really specify that if you don't accept the bid, you can rush again another semester for a different sorority. If you didn't like the one, you got the bid for them. Because once you accept the bid and you join the sorority, if you drop, you can't rush again

Obviously, we've seen in the news a lot of the negatives sometimes around the drinking and different types of violence and actions. And I think that is really hard to get past because Greek life can be a really great community. I personally didn't have Greek life at my College, but we did have groups, whether they be groups to get involved in the community or do things on campus or share similar stories

And I feel that's what I love about UCSB because it's like if you find the support system, there's really, like, no pressure, pressure to rush at all because you're not really missing out on anything. So I love that you either join or you don't. It's like you kind of like you still get amazing experiences either way

I think that's really hard to choose just from a Zoom call because especially meeting teachers in person after being on Zoom, stuff like that, it was like such a different impression in person. So you can never really tell I'm sorry that you had a bad experience with it

But I feel like that can be with any College group or kind of just anything that will bind people together at College. So I just like, that's so cool. It's nice thing of it. It's just like a group of people who you all have like, you know, that you're all similar, you know, you're all going to get along. That is like a great aspect of Greek life
