Do girls pledge nongreek organizations because they can get in a “REAL” sorority?
NO!! A great deal of greeks love to say this but its not true. People go nongreek because they CHOOSE too!! Its that simple. Many nongreeks do eventually go greek but a vast majority choose not too so they are labeled as sorority “rejects”. How can someone be a reject for something they never wanted to be a member of in the first place? Every nongreek does not harbor a desire to be in a sorority or fraternity. An individual has a RIGHT to choose which organizations he or she joins. And as far as nongreeks not making the grades to pledge is bull. There are nongreeks that are doctors, lawyers, CPAs, engineers, computer programmers, nurses, and various other professional career fields. We highlight many of our sisters here on the site for scholastic and career achievements and they definitely had to have excellent grades to gain acceptance to graduate school and maintain scholarships. For example, our Pearl of the Year and Eminent Scholar Award recipients both have a GPA over 3.
