Hey YouTube so I’m back with another sorority Q&A question on this question someone asked me okay she said hello Chelsea I watched your video on MPAC do’s and don’ts I’ll link that down below I have a question about something you said in the video you said don’t be
That girl who is friendly and out there what if my reputation is slightly tainted I’m a second semester sophomore in interested in joining great life is it too late to build my reputation for next semester fall 17 I said I said thanks for watching my video I don’t
Think that it’s late to start building your reputation but it’s good to when you’re building your reputation you want to make yourself known in a good and positive way if your reputation is tainted it depends on what you define is painted like what exactly did you do like are
You that girl that did something well let me say this let me say this let me say this so when you’re a girl a girl joining Greek life I feel like it’s more difficult than a guide joining Greek life mainly because women are catty I’m just
Going to be honest we’re catty or petty we’re judgmental that’s just how we are as women so if you have a tainted reputation that tainted reputation on campus I would recommend that you do your best to repair that reputation or to even try to counteract some of those
Things that you’ve done to taint your reputation out you’re the kind of person where you were um let’s say that you’re very popular with them in the men who happen to be and it depends if you’re will all say this men in fraternities are just as chatty as lemon in sororities
Men will go back to tell lemon in a story especially the ones that they’re cool with they will go back to tell those girls in the story about you don’t they’re not talking about you because nine times out of ten they are probably talking about you so if you’re if you
Taint your reputation in might be hard for you to repair it I’m just going to be honest I think that if you really really tainted your reputation where you’re always seen is that person that is not shown in a positive light let people always have something negative to
Say about you it might be more difficult for you to join that organization because you have to remember at the same time you want to once you become a part of sorority you’re not going to be Kelsey be the girl who stayed in Russell house 24/7 though you’re going to be killed through
That s0 you’re awesome you’re also going to be tilted s0 foods also a so you know it might end up hurting you in a long run when you charge you an organization after you change your relationship now after you taint your reputation that’s not to say that if you
Don’t have a reputation to just not interact with people that’s not what I’m saying what I’m saying is you want to make yourself known in a positive way versus in a negative way so if you don’t have a reputation on campus I recommend building one just so enough people know
Who you are so that when you come out they’ll know oh Kelsey became an SG ro not who’s that girl and I’m not saying that’s a bad thing either because sometimes not having a reputation may be a good thing too because no one knows what tricks you
Have up your sleeve like no one knows what you have to offer you might be that quiet person that someday becomes the student body president at your school and you also have to be STR oh no we know that because you kept those things to yourself so to answer the question
About building your reputation for next semester I think it is always good to build your reputation a semester ahead to a year before you planning on joining mainly because you want to build relationships with people you want to build relationships with people who are already in the organization so that you
Can get to know them on a personal level I would always recommend getting to know someone in the organization before you join so you can kind of get the answer now to the organization before you join because you don’t want to join it or as a and it’s nothing like what you thought
Or those people are nothing like what you thought they would be sometimes the people in the chapter represent right another husband sometimes this chapter doesn’t necessarily represent the organization itself some shoppers completely go against what the organization stands for it might not look like that on paper but
You will never know until you’re physically in there experiencing it for yourself sometimes people just attract people that are more like them versing versus attracting someone that they think would make a difference in the organization and that can either help the chapter it could hurt the chapter so
That’s why I say right that’s why I would recommend you get to know people on a personal level prior to joining so that you can see what they’re truly about or what their true intentions are because it just solidifies your beliefs and then also I feel like will make you
Wise on your decision-making process so what’s the message to a year in advance I’ll recommend getting to know someone and to attend the events as well just so you can see how they interact with each other and how they interact with other potentials what they think about you
It’s always good to get that information beforehand so that’s the advice that I would offer for someone who is looking to build their reputation and for someone who changes their reputation that’s kind of a touchy subject because I don’t like to offend anybody but I
Want to be honest at the same time if your reputation is already teen it is probably going to be hard for you to you know rebuild it but you can try or you can wait to those people who have something negative to say about you to leave and then try again because it’s
Kind of like he has a clean slate but it’s like the best if I said I can offer with that if anyone has anything to add please put them in the comments below if you guys like this video give me a thumbs up and I have more Q&A questions
To come if you have a question you can put it in the comments below or you can message me on my social media I’ll put all that down below too but I will see you guys in my next video and I hope that you guys enjoyed this one and I’ll
See you next time bye
