my boyfriend doesn’t want me to join a sorority

Definitely do what you think is right for you! You're allowed to have a life outside of your relationship with him.

Girl ! You should not decide based on what your boyfriend says. You have the opportunity to join an amazing community of empowering women. You never know if things will work out with a significant other, but sisterhood/friendship is forever. I think if you have any interest at all definitely go through recruitment and try it out. Being in a sorority doesn’t take so much of your time you won’t be able to see him. I’m in a sorority, work 2 jobs and I’m still able to have a huge social life.

I agree with everyone above, you should definitely rush. It honestly won't take away time that you would normally spend with him. You can even reassure him that some of the sorority things can involve him like he can be your date to date parties and formals and come support some of your philanthropy events, etc. And if you end up talking about the sorority a lot that's a good thing bc it means you found something that you're really excited about and makes you happy and he should be happy for you for that. It's just like him talking a lot about his hobbies or sports or whatever he likes to fill his time with, you each get to have your own interests and activities outside of your relationship. It's honestly much healthier too and makes your time together even more special

I didn’t rush my freshman year because my boyfriend of 4 years didn’t want me too... a month after rush we broke up and I immediately regretted not going what I wanted. Then the next year I rushed and joined a sorority where I feel at home and have the greatest support system and wish I wouldn’t have listened to him and rushed my freshman year. Do what YOU want because no matter how much you think this boyfriend is your forever nothing is guaranteed with him but I can gaurentee if you rush and join a sorioirty you will have a group of friends that are ever lasting. Also so many girl in my sorority have boyfriend and it works out so well as long as you make a continued effort with your boyfriend he won’t have the “you don’t have enough time for me” excuse.
