| Helpful Hints: Thinkng of Joining a Sorority? Read below for some challenging questions you should consider before making that decision: What is a Sorority? A sorority is defined as a women's student organization that is formed chiefly for social purposes and has a name consisting of Greek letters. However, it offers much more that just membership or social purposes. A sorority provides academic enhancement, friendship, development of leadership skills and the opportunity to serve the community. As a national organization, a sorority generates personal and professional growth through networking and participating in other activities well beyond your college years. Why do you want to belong to a sorority? This is a question that needs to be taken SERIOUSLY and should be well thought out and answered honestly. Is there any one right magic answer? Of course not, but it should be answered from the heart. How do you know which is right for you? The one thing that I can not stress enough is DO YOUR RESEARCH!!! Being a part of a sorority is a lifetime commitment. You need to know what you are getting into. You would not go to college without finding out any information, right? So why would you do the same when trying to decide on a sorority. The Internet is a great place to start. What is is the sorority looking for in a member? Well the answer to this could be a number of things, but for the most part someone who is going to be dedicated, focused and well rounded. If you are not, then at least be willing to be the best person you can be. It is often said that once you join a sorority you are buying your friends, but the truth is you are building a bond of life long friendships and experiences that will be with you forever. What is the difference between an Informational and a Formal? An informational or interest meeting is when a sorority has an open house for women who are either interested in that sorority or just need information on Greek life period. A Formal is usually when the sorority plans to have intake of new memebers. Some are open while others are by invitation only! As a Freshman should you go to a sorority's informational? Yes!!! Each sorority has different requirements for when you can become a memebr and if you are interested in becoming a part of that organization in the future, you should know the requirements early. In most cases you have a better chance of becomming a member if you apply as, for example, as a sophomore rather than a senior in college. "I want to step, do the call and be popular!" If this has ever come out of your mouth, you are DEFINATELY not ready to become greek. Being a member of a sorority is not just about colors, stepping and the call. It is about uplifting yourself and the community. A lot of people do not realize how much Greeks actually do within the community and on the college campus! Three letters across your chest is not going to make you any more or less attractive. As we say, if you were lame before then chances are you still will be. If it does change others opinion about you then they were probably not your real friends in the first place. |
