Girls are clique and always will be. They are more prone to being in close nit groups. But in general people form groups based upon things they have in college. Being friends with people you have things in common with is what makes an instant bond and and a good support system. The ideas of sororities seem better in theory, girls living in a house together so they can help support and encourage each other to maintain good grades etc, but the problem with sororities is how they actually play out when the cattiness and exclusivity develops. There are cliques within a larger clique. And in certain places, these cliques dictate how people will view you for the rest of your life. Alexandra Robbins talks about this a lot, people can invest everything in a sorority and the name they have. I think that people hold on to their sorority so much and judge others by it because when you are out of college and high school there is no way to be superior and more popular then others and one of the only ways they can accomplisish that is by judging people by their sorority affiliation
