<p>can yall tell me about auburns greek life? the sororities in particular.</p>
<p>It's not the end-all be-all of social life like it is at some other school <em>coughbamacough</em>. I think about 1/3 of girls and a little less than 1/5 of guys are Greek at Auburn. I don't know much about sororities in general, like how they work or anything. All I know is what my friends who are in sororities tell me I know that there are chapter meetings every wednesday afternoon/evening, (5pm-ish), there's a big Greek Sing thing every spring (less singing, more crazy skits and dancing), and usually all the girls up for Ms Homecoming and Miss Auburn are Greek. You would have to talk to people in sororities to find out how exactly they work in terms of administration, elections, etc. And of course, every sorority is different, and they all have different reputations at different schools.</p>
<p>thanks! and yea i knew it was like that and bama and just wanted to know if it was be all end all at AU too</p>
<p>Nope, there are plenty of us "GDI"s here (god damn independents... lol, apparently this is what the greeks call us? okay, whatevs) with perfectly acceptable social lives.</p>
<p>wow..thats kinda mean</p>
<p>and i finally got in contact with my friend that goes to auburn. she said if i want a real social life i shud rush lol
ouch</p>
<p>Lol, well the greeks would say that, wouldn't they? That "if you want a real social life you should rush". Well, I say to that, I have a perfectly normal social life and know many many awesome non-greek people who also have perfectly normal social lives. I have a few friends that are in sororities, so I am not trying to dis on greeks, but it seems like MOST (not all, and certainly not the girls I know) sorority members seem to think a "real social life" is going to the bars or frat parties all the time and stumbling out drunk as hell and falling over. </p>
<p>I'm sort of out of the whole "party phase" that people seem to go through when they get to college. I'm a junior and I've done alot of partying in my day (been to ONE frat party in my entire time at college, and it was kinda boring). I still enjoy a good party, but I'm not seeking them out every weekend anymore. I will say that if you know where to look, there are plenty of parties and other social things to do that you don't have to pay for. And of course, you get to make friends without having to pay for them either.</p>
