Hello!
Welcome to UNC if you got in and if you are interested in rushing!

First tip, do not listen to anything on the website or believe it. Everybody's experiences are different and people are mean on here and never know the full story, they just want to cause drama and make other sororities look bad.

Second tip, never rush a sorority based off of rankings on here or for popularity. If you are going to rush, have good intentions. Some of the "top" ones have the worst issues.

Third tip, the sororities at UNC are nothing like the ones at Alabama or big schools. We have smart girls here, like genius! There is no "dumb blonde stereotype" and almost all sororities are filled with nice girls. No matter what though there will be some drama, can be big or small. When you put over 100 girls in a room not everyone is going to be best friends.

Fourth tip, if you do not want to rush, UNC does COB (continuous open bidding). It is a lot calmer but every sorority does it different. You can reach out to a member via Instagram or they might reach out to you. Even if you are not thinking about rushing or you are on the edge, just go to an event. It helps to meet girls and see if you can make a connection and you never know what might happen!

Fifth tip, there are other reasons to join a sorority other than friendship. You make amazing connections and it helps with careers and having a backbone after college. Alumni especially from UNC have amazing jobs and they can help you get hired or an interview! The food is also better than the dining halls (for most sororities) (some have frat guys cook and not real chefs...) (ask about it during rush). Also there are great leadership/volunteer opportunities that look great on transcripts.

Sixth tip, if you ever have questions or want to know more about a sorority before deciding to rush, DM them on Instagram or reach out to the recruitment chair (should be posted on their IG). Don't go straight to the president though they are busy enough. Also panhel came out with a fun booklet you should look through it is so helpful, just search UNC panhellenic and you'll find it on the website.

Seventh tip, finances. Yes it can be expensive, but all fees are different for every sorority. Many of them do scholarships through their national organization (ask about it!), also do loans, and other helpful stuff. Some allow associates status which gives you a break for the semester (helpful to study abroad girls). Payments are typically split into every month or one payment so you have the options for what works best in your situation.

Eighth tip, have fun, rushing is fun and you get to meet so many people. You do not have to be an extrovert do not worry, all girls are welcome!

Greek girlies, please explain why below you are in the sorority you are in! No bashing other sororities, or ranking, and putting anyone down. This post is to encourage PNMs to go Greek and rush.
