Greek Life Help?!

Student Lounge College Life
1

<p>I am a newly admitted student into UCI as a transfer and have 2 years to make the most of a college life so I want to join a sorority but know NOTHING about the greek life.</p>

<p>What the different sororities based on? </p>

<p>Do they cost a lot?</p>

<p>Do they have a sorority house or can I live separately?</p>

<p>Is there a specific one you would recommend for a Poli Sci major trying to get into law?</p>

<p>Are they great networking ideas or is the stereotypical view of sorority girls true?</p>

<p>Also, do they have hazing or is that a stupid stereotype too?</p>

<p>Any help would be greatly appreciated, so anyone with any experience or knowledge please let me know what I should do.</p>

<p>Honestly, CC isn’t the best place to get advice on greek life. Greekchat.com is a much better source for information. That being said…I’m in a sorority at Indiana U, so I can give you some statements:</p>

<p>-They’re based on a set of values and principles, as well as philanthropy and academics. Although they’re all ‘different,’ their values are very similar.
-At my university, sororities are = to or slightly cheaper than a year in the dorms.
-Depends on the campus
-No. Phi Alpha Delta is useful for pre-law majors, however, they are not a social sorority.
-Stupid stereotype
-Yet another stupid stereotype</p>

<p>Like I said…go to greekchat and search for UCI and do your research!</p>
