<p>i'm very interested in cornell sororities. but there are few informations about sorority and fraternity. hmm.. but one of my friends was in fraternity in UPenn, and he said the pledge process was almost crazy.. he <em>sighed</em> and said he almost didn't have time to study and his grade of first semester was... damn bad. </p>
<p>hmm.. does sorority also have pledge process or something?
joining sistership was the thing i really wanted to do in my college life, but i'm curious if it will hurt my academic performance. </p>
<p>anybody who knows about atmosphere of cornell frat/sorority?</p>
<p>I'm not in the greek system but I have a lot of friends that are so maybe I can shed some light on this.</p>
<p>The pledge process depends on the sorority/frat that you join. Some houses expect a lot of time out of you and others are pretty lax or they are more understanding in terms of school stuff. It really just depends on the house.</p>
<p>Every house has a pledge process, even sororities. My gf is in a sorority and their pledge process consists of doing some extra small events, I think. I usually don't listen. It's not time-consuming beyond the duties you would have as a regular sister. That's just for her sorority though. I've heard that other sororities make you go through a ton of crap. </p>
<p>Either way, don't let it discourage you. In the end, everyone I've talked to ends up enjoying the experience.</p>
<p>My sister is a Junior and pledged AEPhi second semester freshman year. She said it was time consuming... lots of arts&crafty kind of projects, memorizing, styaing up late to do things but nothing horribly offensive. Rush was a crazy week and pledging was stressful but she is very happy and made all her good friends in the sorority. hope that helps.</p>
