greek life and engineering?

I would say it might be a bit of a balance that you would have to find between the two. I know that there is a STEM specific sorority if you're a girl,....(I don't know if you're a guy or a girl in this post so I'm sorry if this info is not helpful lol)

There are not a ton of engineers in Greek life. I was intimidated by this when I rushed but its simply because engineers don't make up a huge percentage of the student body (especially girls) and most engineers are not exactly the type of person who would want to be in Greek life (nerdy/antisocial/etc). However this is not true for some of us and I would highly recommend Greek life if it is something you want to do. It does take up alot of time and you probably will not be able to be involved with anything else but there is nothing wrong with that. (This is interchangeable for any difficult major)

There are a couple of frats that are engineering related too (again not sure if guy or girl). School is time consuming and so is frat/sorority stuff so ask about how they promote academics and get a feeling for the academic/social balance each place you rush.

My best friend is in Phi Rho and she loves it. It's the engineering sorority. They're a part of PHA too, I'd recommend that! It sounds like the same thing with less stress

im in a frat and am in engineering and honestly its not hard to balance, but you definitely have to prioritize

Difficult but doable. Requires discipline

I'm in phi rho the engineering sorority and I highly recommend looking into phi rho or theta tau if your in engineering. They are similar experiences which I love but allow for more flexibility and understanding.

I'm a senior engineer in a PHA chapter. Personally I think being in a sorority sets a higher standard for my grades and also adds more pressure. You surround yourself with girls making >3.5s while plenty of engineers make <3.0s. It's good motivation as long as you can handle it imo. Phi Sigma Rho is good but they're not as involved in the Greek community.

Theta Tau & Triangle for frats , or Phi Sigma Rho for sorority. They're engineering based, and Phi Rho & Theta Tau have been growing. Theta Tau has smaller but really fun blocks.

Honestly, I joined a normal PHA sorority and kind of regret it. I thought about joining Phi Rho but I declined my bid. With my sorority now, I feel like I don't have a break to relax because it's school then sorority mandated things. There's not a ton of girls (in my chapter at least) in engineering, so they don't get why I get stressed, and no one at study tables is in my major, which sucks. Plus, my GPA is lower than my sisters and they don't cut me slack because of my harder classes.

If you want a normal chapter, it's do-able. But I really think the social engineering Greek chapters are the best fits. They're exactly like the other chapters with just more support & less time commitments. I know they do informal during formal rush so you can check them out during the weeks before/between rounds and see if you like it.

Thank you so much!! I am a girl, but was curious about how this applies to guys and girls in engineering and greek life. I will definitely look into the things you guys suggested!
