Work and Sorority Balance?

by: Girlboss

PNM here! I will need to get a job during this school year, do any of you guys have experience in balancing school, Greek life, and a part time job? Is it manageable?

Assuming you’re talking about a part time job and if so, absolutely!!

Yes, it is doable, but you have to have good time management. Your college day is not going to be like high school where you had classes from 8-3 and then your extracurricular thing after and then homework later in the evening. Your daily class schedule is going to be all over the place and not the same on different days, with gaps during the day between classes. These gaps are not free time, they are your reading/studying/homework time. Make a schedule for each day and stick to it. Include the time it takes to get from place to place throughout your day, also very different from high school where classes are all over the campus in addition to dorm-sorority-job etc. Also find a place you can concentrate; it might not be your dorm room.

Yes but if your working just to pay for your sorority make sure you get enough out of it to justify the cost!

You need good time management regardless, to keep up your grades and do sorority things and maybe participating in something else you are interested in. It's a balancing act that needs a bit more discipline than in high school. Doable if you're intentional about your time.

it’s manageable and many girls have a part time job. if trying to live in house second year it may be difficult to get all the points you need because the 2022 pledge class is predicted to be the largest we have ever had. attendance at various fundraisers and events is required to stack up the points you need to qualify to live in house and even more importantly to have a great room in the house because not all rooms are equal. most likely only half ( or a little over) will have the opportunity to live in a sorority house sophomore year.
