pros and cons of sororities/greek life

by: polly pnm

I'm trying to decide if rushing and Greek life is for me, so can anyone tell me some pros and cons of being in a sorority and or Greek life? I like being friends with many types of people, and not limiting myself to the kinds of things I do. But I've been curious about sororities for a while. So, pros and cons?

You'll meet way way more people and have more access to more fun things. Yes you can still go to frat parties as a geed but you probably won't know anyone there, thus less fun.
The girls in your sorority will generally have a lot in common with you and you're a lot more likely to meet some of your best friends through it. A lot of relations / networking and people to be met that could get you jobs in the future.

Is there still some freedom while in a sorority? I've heard mixed reviews from people. Or do they control a lot of what you do/whom you talk to??

Sadly you do give up some control. Like you can't really be photographed with off campus frat letters, you can't have any red cups or alcohol in your pictures, you have to dress up to your chapters standard when in letters and honestly they expect you to look nice every day (yes even ADPi and KD and PiPhi and every chapter I know of). Some have rules like heat applied to hair everyday, no wet hair outside, and no see-through clothing to class just to name a handful. You also have required meetings at least once a week plus recruitment training and required philos and other events.
It really depends on if you are comfortable with others controlling parts of your life or not.

Most of what you listed wouldn't bother me as I typically look nice for class anyway just out of preference. Is honestly the best way to see if it's for me or not to just go through recruitment?

Yes. You should definitely try it out. I didn't think I would ever be a "sorority girl" but I love it! You never know. and if you end up not liking it you can always drop

(Actual girl from above comment lol)
Girl I'm the same way. It has not bothered me at all and I actually enjoy being in an organization of women who have standards. You may get annoyed with stuff but it is usually worth it. I think you should rush and see if it is something truly for you
