what is dg like?
by: curious#1 by: @curious
Disclaimer: I probably don't have the best read on this, but there are a couple things that stick out when I think about DG the last couple years.
1. There was a bullying incident with a new member that was really atrocious. She wrote a blog post, it blew up. From what I understand, there was some discussion from their Nationals, PHC and the U about it, but I don't think it amounted to anything.
2. There are tons of rumors about the lack of sisterhood in this chapter. Every house on campus has cattiness and in-fighting, but for some reason, this one seems to stick out to people.
3. They've had a pretty difficult time with retention of new members the last few years. The battle isn't recruitment, it's retention. It's making girls continuously feel like they want to be there, not just getting them in the door. They recruit big pledge classes and see big drop rates over the course of their first semester after recruitment. I personally think this says a lot.

DG has gotten bad rep in the past due to things out of their control, but it in no way reflects on the true character of the chapter.
Anyone in Greek life would tell you that DG is a great chapter and that Panhell and U are fully in support of them.
Every sorority on campus has had attacks from media, this website, and rumors.
Every sorority on campus is going to have girls you don’t get along with. Every sorority on campus is going to have some drama at some point because 150 girls being together a lot is just going to do that. Every sorority will have girls that are closer and girls that aren’t.
If you want a true look at DG, go through recruitment.
DG recruits girls who are usually top tier / middle tier. They have A wide variety of majors in the house from law to engineering to communications (like lots of other chapters do too). DGs also tend to be ones at parties who have a good time but don’t get sloppy. DGs care a lot about their philanthropy. DGs are classy. A lot of DGs are also really energetic and outgoing.
Girls drop from every chapter. During recruitment and after recruitment and even after initiation.
No matter what you hear about chapters on this website, give yourself a chance to get to know each one during recruitment and follow your gut.

You have no idea what you’re talking about, kappa has lost less than 5 & has the strongest pledge class of theirs from the last 3 years. Aphi has exceeded that # in drops this year and has the worst pledge class they’ve had in years.

I'm sorry, I don't think it's fair to boil down an incident that involved forced underage drinking, bullying and hazing to "girls not getting along." It was a serious thing that the university, Panhel and DG nationals got involved in. It's not baseless as you have implied or just "rumors."
The original poster should know that while maybe not every DG was involved or acted incorrectly, that it's no mistake when someone ends up in a house. There's a lot of effort put in to making cuts and a lot of thought behind who stays and who goes. It's not an accident that the girls involved in this incident were in that house. Maybe DG should be more discerning about their in-house culture and choose some less sketchy members.
