positivies of sororities

Being in a sorority is an amazing experience that goes beyond your four years here at Elon it creates a bond with so many different people and in the right organization you have the ability to discover yourself and grow as a person each of the sororities has something different to offer girls that's why it's more important to focus on where you feel comfortable rather than what sorority is most popular if you do make the choice to go through rush and find a house where you feel happy and comfortable then that's amazing and I'd be so happy for you but also that being said greek life isn't for everyone so if during the process of rush you feel that you aren't fitting in anywhere then you are able to drop out but I would encourage sticking it out and seeing where you end up greek life is wonderful

You are going to hear the good and bad (probably more rumors right now) going into recruitment. Try not to focus or listen to any of it. Every sorority has their positives and negatives just like any organization on campus. There are tons of great chill girls in every chapter. If you keep an open mind and look at every day during recruitment like a new day, then you will be fine. And if you don't like the process when your in it, you can always release yourself because Greek Life isn't for everyone.

Greek Life isn't for everyone. Go and try it out, meet the sororities. If you don't see yourself being with the same group of girls for 4 years, then you can drop anytime.

lets be honest, most girls only join sororities so they have a group of ppl around to party with. its the social events/sororityfraternitymixers/formals etc that draw girls in. youre going to have your own clique no matter which sorority you join, some sisterhoods are more close than others, but ultimately you'd be joining mainly for the exclusive social events.

I disagree with the person who said joining a sororoity is mainly for going to exculsive social events. I think the social events are a fun perk to being in a sorority. I joined as a sophomore, already had a great group of friends and was involved on campus. I went through recruitment and kept my options open because I have friends in a lot of organizations. I joined the chapter I am in because I had a great time at the house during every recruitment event, I always loved going to the sororities philanthropy events - even when I wasn't greek, and the girls were genuine. I did well during recruitment, only was cut from two chapters the entire time. I got my first choice and can't imagine being anywhere else.

if you think you aren't paying hundreds of dollars for friends, youre kidding yourself. anytime a girl desisters and drops a sorority, shes pretty loses the 100 friends she bought and never talks to them again. whichever sorority you join is the group of ppl you'll be around all the time and you'll drift away from friends who joined other sororities or chose not to join any. hence the greeklife relatively negative sentiment towards "gdis".

do not trust any of the sororities during recruitment events. they all put on a show of how amazing/close their sisterhoods are, and they're trying to get as many girls to want to join them as possible so obviously they will put on that image that they're a perfect sisterhood. they're all sunshine and rainbows and best friends when theyre trying to recruit you. you've gotta hang out with the sisters during the regular semester outside of rush week to get a better sense of how they truly are and to see if you'll truly get along with and fit in with the sorority. all of the advertising for their philanthropy events is such bull, they all want to be portrayed as perfect. hang out with them at parties to actually get to know their real personalities.

don't read this site. it gives elon greek life a bad name and 98% of the stuff posted isn't true and is posted by the same small group of people. try it out!
