thanks!!Any tips/warnings/advice on being a sorority girl?
I don't go to that particular University, but I think it's great that you already know you want to go Greek.





My best advice for you is to just be yourself. If you are yourself, then you'll ultimately end up where you're supposed to be and where you'll feel comfortable with your new sisters.





Before Recruitment starts, your University will probably post a ';What to Wear'; guide, so look through it, but it's usually like ';these things are appropriate for this day: i.e. nice skirts, blouses, high heels, etc and these things are not: i.e. flip flops, jeans, t-shirts, etc.'; But always wear what makes you feel comfortable according to the guidelines.





And it never hurts to do some research on the chapters on campus before you go through recruitment--that way, you can find out what you particularly love about each group, such as a philanthropy or event.





If you have any other questions, the best person to ask would be your Rho Gamma, recruitment guide, once you've registered for Recruitment. (You can also email me in the meantime if there's anything more specific you need information about.)Any tips/warnings/advice on being a sorority girl?
Yes, I have some very specific advice: don't.
I think this is a great goal. Sorority membership develops life skills. It teaches you how to live with people, and it also gives you valuable leadership experience that comes in handy when searching for a job. Non-Greeks will say it doesn't, but when you don't have any other experience and you're right out of school, it does. I assure you. Being in a sorority was the time of my life, and I really learned and grew a lot as a person. So I encourage you to learn more about the chapters on your campus.





The best advice I can give you is to be yourself. Don't try to change who you are or what you wear. Of course you should be neat and polished, but don't worry about minor details. Rush is a very complicated and fast process, and the best way you'll find a fit during the process is if you are true to who you are. If you try to be someone you're not, you'll get into a house that's totally wrong for you and you'll spend the next 4 years trying to live up to unrealistic expectations that you have for yourself to constantly be trying to fit in. Just be who you are and find where you fit as such. You want to find real sisters, who love you for YOU. So defiantely don't get caught up in going out of your way to be what you think a chapter is looking for. Just be you.





As far as an ideal candidate for Greek life, it would be someone who is eager to get involved, someone who likes being around people and is friendly, someone who is goal-oriented and determined, and someone who is a loyal friend.





And don't forget, at the end of the day, being in a sorority is part of school. So be sure you can keep your focus.





Good luck.
