Fraternities and sororities are very involved on campus. I feel like the whole social scene at JMU revolves around greek life. Most people go to the fraternities rather than off campus parties. I agree with the comment below, greek housing isn't the best which I believe is really holding JMU back. I definitely recommend anybody considering rushing to rush! I feel like JMU acts like only 15% of students are in greek life so you don't feel as pressured join (when it feels like a lot more than that). Fraternities have rush every semester while sorority rush is in the fall (2nd or 3rd week into the semester). As a freshman I didn't participate in sorority rush as I was so overwhelmed with acclimating to the school, the work load, and frankly rushing was the last thing on my mind. Once all my friends rushed and joined sororities, I immediately regretted it. I felt as if they all immediately found their group of friends and always had things planned so I didn't get to see them as much. When you are a new member you are SUPER busy. As a new member you have to attend many mandatory events and activities (so you have to juggle that with your school work). Also, when you are a new member you want to get to know the girls in your pledge class/sorority so you want to spend a lot of time with them and get to know them. After waiting a year, I joined a sorority this past fall as as sophomore and couldn't be happier! I know this sounds so cliche but I feel like I have finally found a close group of friends that are so loving and supportive of each other. I always have someone to hang out, eat lunch with, etc. Not only have I met tons of girls through joining a sorority but I also have met many guys in greek life through social events! Even though I had to wait a year, I feel like it was worth it and have found my "home" at JMU. The process of rushing is exhausting but joining greek life has totally changed my experience here and I highly encourage anyone who is on the fence about doing it to rush! That obviously goes for the guys as well! Lmao I know that was like an essay but just wanted to help
