[quote=Anonymous]11:25 here again...

Forgot to mention that I did not go into college wanting to join a sorority.  It was the furthest thing from my mind -- why would I want anybody dictating what I do????

But, during my first year, I saw other girls in the dorms who were pledging sororities and they had a lot of social opportunities that I did not have.  My second year, I rushed and ended up in a sorority.  I was obviously rejected by quite a few of the hoity-toity sororities (you get your dance card every day of rush and you know who didn't invite you back).  It's not great to be rejected, but the ones who wanted me were actually ones I would fit into better anyway.  So, it's all good.

It's very easy for any 18-19 yr old to want to be in the "prestigious" sororities, but in the long run, you're better off if you are not in those... more pressure to conform than there is in the not-so-popular houses.

(BTW -- my greek education came in handy just yesterday when DH asked what language "pi" is -- I regaled him and the kids with a recitation of the greek alphabet -- that I haven't repeated in many years.... alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon, zeta, eta, theta, iota, kappa, lambda, mu, nu, zi, omicron, pi, rho, sigma, tau, epsilon, phi, chi, psi, omega let me hear ya now![/quote]
