2020 advice

As someone who is in a "top" sorority (but what is top anyways?) do not make your wofford experience based around the whole sorority deal. Seriously. If I was a freshman I would not even think about whether or not I would rush until like the week before recruitment starts. Wofford is too awesome of a school to spend all that time in one thing. Also I would not say that everyone "finds the house thats best for them". Yes lots do, but not everyone, so please be mindful of that. Don't assume every active is as in love with their house as they show during recruitment. I would encourage each and every one of you to go to the fraternity houses on the weekends if you please, have as much fun as you want, and dive head first in to everything Wofford has because these years fly by, i know the first 2 I was here did. You came to Wofford to get one of the finest educations in the area and be part of one big community, so please put that first.

Also please be mindful that grades are very important especially this year! A lot of sororities are trying to be top in terms of grades right now so if you want to stand above the rest please make sure your GPA is very good -thinking well above a 3.0. It's annoying since freshman are just getting adjusted and trying to meet people but just be mindful!

Just please please be thoughtful about going through recruitment, both boys and girls. As a non greek with almost all my friends being in one of these "top" houses I have seen sooooo many of them fall to peer pressure and change by being greek. Theres both a lot of social pressure and peer pressure to go to the bars/ row 4 nights a week and I've seen it take a huge toll on them both physically and mentally. I never rushed so I don't know what its really like but its something to be mindful of. Theres way more to Wofford than greek life and I've never ever complained about being bored!
