I have a few answers for you! I'm currently a freshman who went through formal rush and is initiated in a house, and I am also an engineering major. I am involved in at least 3 other student organizations on campus besides my sorority, and I am doing just fine! You just have to know how to manage your time and prioritize, not to mention that being in a sorority (for me at least) has been very "what you put into it is what you get out," so there are lots of opportunities to do other things. In many houses, it is encouraged to go out and be involved other places on campus. I love being in a sorority because it offers me a great group of friends from both my house and other houses. It gives you the chance to be a part of a community that wants to see you grow and succeed, and have some fun while you're at it. I really can't say there's anything that I hate! DO NOT worry about which sororities are popular, or other people's opinions on them. You will figure out which house is the best fit for you and which house thinks you're the best fit for them, and you should not base any of your decisions on what other people think of them. There are people who will judge you for being in a sorority. They will think you're entitled, snobby, or that you pay to have friends. Especially being an engineer. But in the end, as long as you're happy their opinions shouldn't matter, and you will find that going Greek is much more than "paying for friends." Like the person above, I would keep an eye out for the website, because they will post a lot of information about formal recruitment. After registration, they will go into detail about the different rounds, what to wear, etc. I hope that these answers help you out, and that you end up being a part of the community I love so much.
