[quote=Anonymous]I rushed and joined a sorority at a non-southern school in the mid-90s. It was technically a fraternity for women, bc when founded in the early 1900s our founders didnt want to be lumped in w the sororities of women who were just there to be “sister groups” to the mens fraternities.

Sororities/fraternities do a lot more than just party. I was on the executive committee of mine (like pres, vp, etc.) so obv very involved but I went to maybe 2 frat parties my entire college career. I wasnt into frat guys so I saw no reason to go. That was ok because I joined a sorority that liked me as a person, not just one that only consists of hot chicks picking other hot chicks. There were plenty of other things to do w my sisters other than frat parties. Granted, I wasn't in one of the “top” sororities on campus. Maybe if I was, it would have been different.

The rush process was a bit stressful, but it lasts maybe a week -10 days. Its basically a week during which every woman who wants to join a sorority meets all of the sororities at the school one after another, like speed dating. and learns about them: their values, their activities, their philanthropy, basically the vibe of the place. Every sorority has a diff vibe. Some are perfect for the “hot chicks”, some for the fun girls, smart girls, nice girls, athletic girls, etc. You choose which house fits where you can see yourself fitting in best over the next 4 years. Then, they do the same. And hopefully you match, or receive a bid. At my school, there was one sorority that had some very nice women in it, not conventionally attractive. Many were overweight. They gave every single woman a bid. And they were a v tight sisterhood. Everybody wants to belong somewhere.

What I loved about being in a sorority was having a built-in support system. Even now that I am in my 40s, we just made a move and I dont know anyone. There is a local chapter of my sorority though so I was able to reach out join it and meet a few people.[/quote]
