    I know this isn't the main point of the video but girl it spoke to me. I'm going through a very similar situation with my dad as well... mean degrading things being sent to me & he blindsided me about not paying for college as well. It's been really really hard on me emotionally. I want to thank you for sharing that small portion because it makes me feel like I'm not alone. I would love to hear your experience on how you overcame it emotionally & how you were still able to pay for college bc girl I'm struggling all around. 💕

      Girl you sharing this means so much to me. I’m so sorry you had to go through that. It’s so hard finding someone who feels your pain, but I totally get it. That emotional damage is something that doesn’t easily go away. If you ever want to talk feel free to dm me on Instagram, I’d love to always talk more about it! Hopefully soon I’ll make a video explaining my whole experience and how I managed to get through. Praying for you, you’re going to get through it!! ❤️

    I think this is all really fair. You get what you put in, but it wasn’t for you. I’m glad you made some good friends through recruitment. A lot of people don’t realize that life can happen and change your plans, I’m sorry that you had a hard time with your Dad.

    Informative video. I never thought about now students today have to deal with the pressure of social media let alone pledging and being "judged." It was tough w/o social media in the early 2000s. I came close to pledging until I learned of its history then I decided not to. It didn't feel genuine to me.

      You don’t! The sorority halls happened to be in the same dorm area where I lived my freshman year (the Village). I lived in a different building so it happened to be right next door to me. But starting sophomore year I believe you have the option to be put on a list to move into the sorority hall (not sure the exact process of who is guaranteed rooms). 🤍

      Yes!!! so actually several of my friends in college were studying chemical engineering, and I know it was an extremely hard yet rewarding program! Everyone that I knew that was in that program loved it, and they all have amazing jobs now! Auburns engineering department as a whole has such a great reputation, and is one of the best in the country!

      @sp1057 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Most schools require a minimum GPA to go through recruitment, pledging, and become an active member. Just like if you want to be on a collegiate sports team, they want to make sure that you keep up with your academics. And from what I recall, the sororities themselves also have a minimum GPA requirement.

    • @arianaholly6023
      @arianaholly6023 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@sp1057 Yes at most schools as a freshman you have to have had at least a 3.0. And while a member you have to maintain a 2.5. Both of which are not that hard to have. However, it does make you more “competitive” to have a much higher gpa.

    • @greekchick104
      @greekchick104 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's a typical thing for Greek life! Both my sorority and my college have a minimum of a 2.5 GPA requirement- it's so they know you can balance and time manage bc academics should always be coming first before having to keep up with requirements for extracurriculars.

    What dorm should I stay in?? Quad or something else?

    • @ClaireDawe
      @ClaireDawe  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I had so many friends that lived in the Quad and LOVED it. My freshman year I lived in the village, and it was amazing. You share a room with 2-3 others, but you have your own individual bedroom. I lived in South Donahue my sophomore year, and it’s similar to the village but a little bit nice than it. (I only lived there because my scholarship covered it). But honestly I WISH I would have lived in the quad because I feel like there you get the true college experience. You share a room with someone else, and I believe share a bathroom with that person and two others. But it’s right in the center of campus beside all your classes and the student center (hey Chick-fil-A and Starbucks), and a short walk from downtown. Everyone I know that lived there was friends with everyone that lived on their hall! Also I had friends that lived in the Hill, and it’s a little farther and not as nice, BUT you also share a room with someone to get that experience!!
