commuting and greek life

Sorority meetings are typically Mondays at 6 or 7pm and last for an hour or sometimes more. I know plenty of people in my sorority who do or have commuted to school and it doesn't make a huge difference. I'd definitely still rush!

I'm a commuter! It definitely makes attending certain sorority events harder, especially because so many mandatory things are held after 7pm on weekdays, but it's also the only reason why I have a social life. Being a native (my commute's about 30 mins as well) a lot of people from my high school district went to State and either didn't get involved on campus, or didn't make any new friends throughout their four years because they had no outlet to do so. The school can feel pretty alienating if you don't find your niche quick enough. I definitely recommend giving recruitment a try because I can guarantee you won't make friends through classes alone, and if it ends up not working out then you can always drop.
