<p>I was thinking of joining a frat but with the stuff they do and community service and studying idk if a job would be possible while being in a frat, i'd like money for gas and extra stuff to though, so is it normal or possible to do both a frat and a job?</p>
<p>I only know two people involved in Greek life, and they both have outside jobs. I’m not sure how common it is, but it’s apparently doable.</p>
<p>At my job, maybe a quarter of the people were in a frat or a sorority. I don’t see why it wouldn’t be possible if you can find a job that fits into your schedule.</p>
<p>Your major also factors into this. If you have a rigorous major, it may be hard to juggle your school work, a job, and being in a sorority. Add a girlfriend in there and you’ll definitely have no time!</p>
<p>One of the people at my work was in a frat, had a girlfriend, and was a chemical engineering major. Another girl I worked with was a chemistry major, had a boyfriend, and worked in three labs in addition to the job she worked with me–though she also never seemed to sleep, so I wouldn’t recommend her lifestyle. Another girl was in a sorority, had a boyfriend, worked, and was pre-med. I worked nights, so it was easier for me (and my coworkers) to schedule in other things during the day. I was a full time student, worked five nights a week, and had 2-3 other jobs/internships during the day. I know some people who were in frats or sororities had some trouble juggling night shifts that conflicted with their greek events, but there’s always a way. </p>
<p>It’s always possible. It just depends on how good you are at time management and much free time your willing to sacrifice to work. It also depends on what job you can find. It may help to find a job with flexible hours or one that has a minimum number of hours that you can swing. Where I worked as an undergrad, the minimum was 12 hours, but you could find a job that is less than that if you find the time commitment is too much.</p>
