[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was in a sorority. As I got older and had new interests in politics and things that would further my desire to go to law school (another thing I regret doing), the sorority would "punish" me for missing events. I'd have to do service to the sorority for being at the state democratic convention instead of bonding with my "sisters" at a retreat. I should have just quit but they made that such a humiliating process I didn't do it.

I hope my kids never want to join a sorority or fraternity. But if they did, I'd talk to them about choosing one that values more than looks and popularity. As a freshman, the cool girls appealed to me. As a senior, I wished I'd joined the "dorkier" sorority where women had a variety of goals and perspectives. [/quote]

I went to a local school (DC area) and was also much less involved in my sorority junior and senior year. Freshman/sophomore year it was a great way to meet people at a large school and have a sense of "identity". But once internships, jobs, etc took priority the sorority wasn't the center focus of my college life anymore.

I never had a problem with anyone complaining about my not showing up to events though, but that's likely because every sorority/chapter is different. I'm sorry you went through that--that sounds in-sisterly.[/quote]
