<p>Hello,
I will be going to Michigan in the fall of 2011.
I'm wondering if I should rush or not.
I have motives to try to maintain a 4.0 GPA and succeed in my major (EE or Aerospace Engineering); however, I still want to enjoy my college life.
I know in some colleges, you have to be in a frat to go to frat parties.
This sounds naiive but would I still be able to have the college experience without joining a frat?
I hear some frats party 4 days a week and I feel like that would hinder my academics.
Thanks.</p>
<p>I always think it’s something you should try out. If you don’t like it or it’s creating a problem for you, you can easily drop with no problems. And who knows, you might end up really liking it.</p>
<p>Agree with RoxSox</p>
<p>I don’t think a 4.0 in EE is possible</p>
<p>If you do go through the process, I suggest you do it your second semester as you would have essentially adapted by then.</p>
<p>Yeah, about the 4.0 in EE, I’m thinking of switching to something else like Mechanical or something.</p>
<p>Do it second semester like paradox suggested. You’ll already be settled and adjusted at school and it won’t be so overwhelming.</p>
<p>Just rush, see what happens. Also, only rush in spring if you know there is an actual rush, some schools do not have spring rush.</p>
<p>Greek like is ■■■■■■■■. Honestly… it’s over hyped by movies and stuff. You should either do a vast amount of internships during your years in college, or open up your own company and get started on a business. Even if your business doesn’t do well, it adds serious points on your resume. I landed a job n Google with just 3.5 gpa.</p>
<p>Definitely rush! You don’t have to pledge if you don’t want to, but you can see if it’s worth it for you.</p>
