This post was brought on by our Thursday wrap session on our Facebook Page. During one of these chats, the topic of leaving a sorority came up. What happens? Why would anyone leave? How do you feel so much a part of something and then suddenly, you're dropped. Well, we're going to iron out some of the major details in this unbiased piece.
Pfft! I'm Outta Here!/ You've Been *snap snap* Cut OFF!
^ Sound familiar? This is what normally happens with you've been in an organization and have over stayed your welcome or they feel that you have. Here are some other major reasons.- Un-organization
- When is your next event? Does it have a purpose? Who is in charge of outfits? Who is your PR manager? Who is your recruitment leader? What time is tier due? Who is managing the bank? Are the new staffs done? Where are we on our philanthropic goals? Did anyone update the calendar? Have we spoke to the potential pledges this week?
- ....... If you have to ask all of these questions instead of knowing the answer... then you're completely unorganized are probably lacking communications.

- We speak to them every day.
- Disloyalty
- Just like in any relationship, it takes work and progress. But often, organizations clique or they is an upside down power struggle between those who are the majority and those who are a minority. (Leaders vs. Non-Leaders, Goddesses vs. Big Sisters, Dames vs. Angels) etc.
- Leaders are quick to cut someone off if they do not bend to their will or show up to events.
- Inequality
- "We're not equal. You're a pearl. I'm a founder." <--- Case of inequality and completely inaccurate. Please refer to "Greek FAQ"
- Power Trips
- "You got me up all night...." .... wondering if ya gon' kick me out.... "You got me up all night....".... constantly thinking about kicking y'all ass.... "You got me up all night.." (You know back when you sleepin on that newbie land..." Let me stop.
Here is my Paddle, Here is my Staff, One is for fun, One's for kicking your ask.
- When people fight over paraphernalia, you can tell the org is going down.... very quickly. Especially when you deny a potential member said items or even get new paraphernalia and refuse to share them with other members.
- Its not all about flashing off your highly blinged out, ultra glow and extra LOUD paddle that has all the bells and whistles of something off of Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory (Original Version)
Gossip Folks-------------->
- Oh, it's going to happen.
- You're going to get mad on the inside or develop a healthy dose of humility.
- Don't lash out.
- Keep a bright smile.
- Turn Up! Every chance you get.
- Share your experience.
Unfortunately, Secondlife has built a repertoire of organizations that can only mock what real life has done and they ruin the reputation and ideas of Greekdom by the previous things. This is not to say that RL Greekdom doesn't have these issues, because they very much so do! And we will give you a guideline on how to solve it on our next post!
