You need to get over Greekrank

Sorority rush at the University of Illinois was an experience like no other. Despite being someone who went into college with a hot air balloon-sized ego, it was immediately deflated when my top house didn’t invite me back. As initiation approaches, before many girls drop out of their houses like flies, I want to provide my unprovoked two cents.

In my preference round freshman year, I essentially had to choose between two “bottom” houses. The funny thing is, I had no idea rankings of Greek houses existed before I heard all of the girls in line grimacing at the idea of having to even talk to the low lives in bottom-tier houses, frantically referencing Greekrank as their bible.

If you’re unfamiliar with Greekrank, it’s a Reddit-esque website where people can review and rate sororities and fraternities. God forbid Sigma Chi plans an event with a sorority that @greekgod labeled as “a bunch of outcasts who smell weird and don’t fit the stereotype. solid 6/10 at the hottest.”
