Those crazy sororities!

<p>I posted something similar to this before, but here's a bit of a twist on the question:</p>

<p>Which are your most chilled out, laid back of the sororities? Which are the least jappy and most fun of the sororities? By this I mean, which sorority are you most likely going to find a bunch of girls who want to sit around arguing about Schopenhauer, smoke a bowl, and then march down to Washington to protest the genocide in Darfur? Which sororities will the girls most likely be painting, be listening to metal music, be wearing tie-dye and birkenstocks? Where are the girls going to be arguing over libertarianism vs. liberalism, maybe doin some yayo (haha just kidding of course...), holding poetry slams and reading Kerouac?</p>

<p>That's really the type of sorority I'm looking for - something funky, intellectual, artsy, hippy-esque, daring, etc. I'd love to join a sorority if I could find one like that, or at the very least, one that's not overly jappy. </p>

<p>So does anyone have any suggestions for the least jappy and most fun of the sororities?</p>

<p>Off the sorority topic.
Minus the drug scene (I'm an adult, and I have no idea - nor will I use this forum to lecture you about drug use - that's for your parents)... you might find like-minded, artsy students at Risley Dorm, which is a program house you can apply for.

<p>FYI - One of the links I gave you was from the Cornell Review, Cornell's conservative newspaper. Naturally, there is some bias there. I'm a liberal myself, but I thought you would enjoy reading it anyway. Reading their anti-Risey article actually gave me more respect for Risley residents.</p>

<p>Too late to edit... the article is not anti-Risley.</p>

<p>I don't think you're going to find and artsy sorority...</p>

<p>pot and coke( whether you're serious or not) can be found in many of the houses</p>

<p>While the 12 different sororities are all really diverse, there isn't one that stereotypically fits that description. Tahoe has a good idea though - Risley seems to exude that type of environment, although they are truly artists at heart.</p>

<p>Yea, I've considered Risley, it really sounds awesome. I already sent in my housing applications (just for a regular coed double) but I'm going to check out Risley my first year and see if I want to apply to it for Sophomore year. It really seems like an awesome place, but I heard that it can be a bit too crazy for freshman, though I don't know if that's true or not.</p>

<p>Uhh. Though the sororities are very diverse you individually could probably find 1 or 2 where you'd fit in and be happy, i can 100% assure you that none of the sorotiies fit the stereotypes youre looking for.</p>

<p>Yea, I didn't think there'd end up being one that fit that stereotype exactly. </p>

<p>But is there one that's just more laid back and less jappy in general?</p>
