[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are students in the Honors Programs all [b]merry?[/b] My kid is interested in a honors program, but also wants to be in a Sorority and likes to be around a diverse group of people. Not students who are single minded about their classes. [/quote]

Nerdy. Sorry, phone autocorrected it.

Nerdy and sorority .... hmmm, what do you think?

You really think sororities are diverse?  They are definitely not single-minded about their classes.  Maybe about their next party.  [/quote]

Lol DD is in an honors program and on the executive board of her sorority. She’s the type that can make even a sorority “nerdy” I guess. And she’s POC. So in this respect the PP is right - you can be diverse in a sorority!

I’m not the the PP you’re responding to but another PP who said sororities aren’t going to be diverse. But I wasn’t taking about race, I meant a more narrow interest and culture. I  was not trying to knock Greek life, but just saying you don’t join the Greek system to increase the diversity of who you hang out with. Both honors colleges and Greek systems are selective so they’re by definition going to select certain types of people. Your kid just happens to fit both profiles so good for her![/quote]

Thanks PP. I do agree that the sorority thing is more about conforming to fit into the sorority rather than expressing oneself and in that sense being diverse.  The OP's kid could get diversity by doing Greek life plus a few other things.  [/quote]
