sorority rush week

Nah. There are definitely a lot of girls not involved in sororities that are pretty dope people to hang out with. Social life is definitely easier being in Greek life but I wouldn't say you'd have to do it to be respected.

^ Agreed. It doesn’t really make a difference other than that you don’t have have a set social schedule, which is actually probably a good thing. As for respect from guys, some of the guys in frats (my frat in particular, but probably in others too) actually prefer girls who aren’t in sororities... probably just because they’re seen more as individualists/unique. Don’t fret it. Either way you’ll have a great time.

Joining a frat is much more important socially than joining a sorority. For example, as a girl you can show up to any party and expect to get in at least 80% of the time simply for being female, whereas a guy without affiliation or invitation stands 0% chance on entry. Guys who don't join frats or some type of organization on campus are often considered geeds and looked down upon by at least a third of campus. So, joining a frat means something, while joining a sorority is not as socially necessary.

Geed girls are respected more than sorority girls at this point..
