<p>How hard is it to get into a top tier sorority here? As far as looks are there certain "types"? What else factors in? Just curious! Thanks:)</p>
<p>To get into one of the top 2-3 sororities you have to be attractive and have a fun personality. That’s about it as far as I know.</p>
<p>It’s not easy, but I mean each sorority takes 50 girls, so there are a lot of openings.</p>
<p>"…They’re rankings…". Sorry. What language is that? Quite frightening, actually. Are you applying to Vanderbilt?</p>
<p>Oliver007…what?</p>
<p>He’s pointing out that you used “they’re” instead of “their” in the title.</p>
<p>Haha wow. Okay, sorry</p>
<p>Each sorority has their own reputation/stereotype. The top tier sororities would probably be Theta, Kappa and to a lesser extent, Tridelt. Theta is stereotyped as southern, blonde, female dogish. Kappa is stereotped as northern, brunette, Jersey Shorish. Tridelt doesn’t have as resounding of a reputation/stereotype as the previous two sororities. </p>
<p>In terms of criterion for getting into a sorority…typically a mixture of appearance (physical attractiveness, make-up, clothing, jewelry), affability/fit and connections.</p>
<p>Oh no, somebody mistyped a word on a message board. It’s the end of the world!</p>
<p>Mistyping is OK. Mangling the English language may be worthy of note. We like to imagine that Vanderbilt students etc would know the difference. However, you are welcome to disagree. Free country. George Bush would be on your side.</p>
<p>Haha what? So I used incorecct grammar and now george bush would be on my side? LOL. Haha okay people of cc: I am deeply sorry. I hope that I haven’t scarred you for life. Hahaha wow.</p>
<p>Oliver007,
You took the time to reply to this post to inform me that I am mangling the english language? Wow. Thanks, because trolling is always so much more helpful than actually using CC to answer peoples queastions.</p>
<p>wintergirl,
That’s not trolling! Though grammar nazis can be annoying to some (I do consider myself one at times), I think that’s something you’ll have to get used to if you attend a school with a 12% acceptance rate! ;)</p>
<p>I found it embarrassing that someone who wants to apply to Vanderbilt writes like that…and now is being sarcastic in defending it. It is NOT grammar that is at issue. I am shocked that you think so!!! Is that your understanding of the English language??? If I were you, I would put more effort into addressing whatever issues you have with your command of language…and less time in belligerent defense of those deficiencies. However, it appears that there is zero chance of that. Quite typical. Good luck.</p>
<p>I was even paying attention when typing out the title. If you want to turn this into a huge ordeal, then fine. I’m sorry if my sarcasm offended you. But it was frustrating that my grammar was going to turn into a big issue and now be connected to me wanting to apply to vanderbilt. If my grammar wasn’t the issue than what was? I’m sorry for defending myself but you made it into a big deal.</p>
<p>It has little to do with my understanding of the english language. I wasn’t paying attention and I’m fully aware that they’re rankings (they are rankings) doesn’t make sense. I didn’t catch my mistake, but it is a littlee hurtfull that suddenly now it’s embarassing that I’m applying to vanderbilt? I’m sorry for my grammar and “mangling of the english language” but it didn’t need to be a huge thing where now I need to feel bad about applying to vanderbilt.</p>
<p>Why are you so shocked I thought the issue was my grammar? Because the issue was my grammar. But you didn’t need to make me feel bad for defending myself when I felt attacked.</p>
<p>People like you, who try to make others feel bad without being helpful, ruin college confidential. It’s a place for constructive criticism, not somewhere I should constantly need to worry if I’ll be put down or belittled for a mistake, or mistype. I don’t appreciate you imcinuating that because I made a spelling mistake, vanderbilt is not in my realm of possibility. I hope you feel really great about suceeding in making me feel bad. You win whatever game your playing. I won’t be on here again.</p>
<p>oliver, you are just simply not contributing anything. I hope you don’t actually go to Vandy, because I’d be ashamed to share my school with people like you.</p>
<p>Sorry to make any one feel bad. It was really startling to see such a dysfunctional phrase as the one that started this thread.
“suceeding”??? “Imcinuating”??? “whatever game YOUR playing”??? Kind of reinforces my point. Respect for the language and competence at it will go a long way in helping you out. Would you similarly attack a teacher who tried to point out a weakness in your language? Sad.
Chaosakita…please stop the shabby defense of poor language. Do not glorify abuse of the language. Vanderbilt is NOT the kind of place where that will work.
Differentiating between homophones should be a basic skill, don’t you think?
their/there…you’re/your…etc. Whether you like it or not, ignorance of such basic matters will never help anyone at places like vanderbilt. Hey, I don’t make the rules. but those are the rules at the highest levels of schooling and professional performance thereafter.
Wintergirl…please do not be negative. I am sure you are a very capable person, and I wish you the best.</p>
<p>If you would be ashamed to share a school with people who respect the English language…well…you are in for a shock at Vanderbilt. I guarantee that your teachers will seek to correct any similar deficiencies that may exist in any form of learning. This kind of attitude seems distressingly anti-intellectual. Good luck.</p>
