[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i was Greek and think [b]it was an incredibly important training ground. [/b] Rush and other social functions offer  [b]amazing opportunities to learn how to engage with all kinds of people and make conversations [/b](I could probably charm the pants off of that stupid small minded woman who would disown her daughter for joining a sorority.)

Of all the things I took away from my college experience, the social Skills learned in the sorority are the ones I use daily in the workplace.  My husband is high level finance, and it's very much the same case.  In most careers, you have to have a brain and social skills to advance to leadership positions.  CEOs have to go to at lot of parties....[/quote]

Except engaging with people who were excluded.

Did you not know how to make conversation when you went away to school?  And your sorority was where you learned how to make conversation?

Seriously?[/quote]

I don't know what to tell you.  Life isn't fair and every person, sorority or not, self-selects somehow.  I'm sure you have excluded someone at some point in your life (probably because they were in a sorority!). All I know for certain is that during rush and other social events during Greek life forced me to learn socializing with strangers skills that I still use (frequently) today.  Even coming from a very social family, that time in my sorority helped. I also had a to. Of fun and made great friends.  So it was a win for me. Do t k ow what else to tell you..[/quote]
