Any international students at a sorority?

<p>Heyy guys,</p>

<p>So I've been looking through the greek life system in the US and I couldn't help but wonder how many international students take part/get selected to a sorority/frat? So apparently, you need stellar gpa and ECs and all that (but depending on the university ur attending, you probably already have all that..) BUT besides all that, they look for recommendations from greek alums...Usually, if you are an in-state student or if you have legacy or at least anyone ( a teacher, neighbor) who is a greek alum, you can get a rec from them. But whats the case for international students? How can an international student (who does not have a legacy or know a greek alum) get recs? I am aware that the Panhellenic council assists students participating in rush find alums who can write recs but I've only heard of this happenning in the US...does the council find alums for an international student too?</p>

<p>So..wow that was a a lot to ask (Sorry, I just can't find the answer for international students where I searched :/) It would be great if you're an international greek or an alum! Thank you xx</p>

<p>I’m considering joining a community service sorority, and I would also like to know the answers to these questions.
In other words, bump!</p>

<p>You have to RUSH during RUSH Week. You visit each HOUSE during their night and meet the members.<br>
Each sorority knows what it wants in their pledges. Some houses are volunteer-oriented, some are "socially"oriented. Some are “academically” oriented.
Legacies are typically known, but they can also be rejected by the sorority.<br>
There is a cost involved, at some universities, because the activities do take time and money.<br>
At some universities, they don’t provide “housing” in the House because there is not enough room, whereas at other universities you’re required to live in the House.
You can’t really face this like an “academic challenge”, although they do like students who do well in school.
You have to RUSH, that’s the only way I can explain it.</p>
