<p>UW isn't at the top of my list.
Mainly because I know if I go to school in Seattle, I'll still have to live at home.
My parents aren't gonna pay for crappy UW dorms, and I certainly don't wanna live in UW dorms.</p>
<p>My only alternative, if I were to go to UW, would be to join a sorority.
I mean, it's been my plan to join a sorority if i go to a school w/ greek life.
But at most of my other school choices, Greek life isn't gigantic like at UW.</p>
<p>Does anything know anything about UW greek life?
Which sororities are good, and which are bad?</p>
<p>I'm not too much of a partier, but wouldn't mind being around some partying.
I'm just not gonna center my life around it.
Also, I wouldn't want to join a sorority where the majority of the girls are blonde/have skin as orange as an oompa loompa.</p>
<p>the best thing to do is go to the greek life page at UW (you'll have to search but its worth it). Then visit the sorority websites and look at the pictures. You will find "yourself" in a couple of houses. Those would be the ones to focus on for rush. I have a friend that is in a sorority at UW and loves it! Not a blonde/tan house, more middle of the road (sorry I can't remember which one!!!) In my opinion....a picture speaks a thousand words.
PS: Try NOT to live at home next year! My mom did that and still regrets it to this day. My dad thought it was a great idea to have me live at home until my mom put her foot down. She said it was a big mistake because she never felt connected to the University. She felt like a number and even though she really liked UW, she never really had any college memories (she isn't talking about drinking - wasn't much of a drinker)</p>
<p>Another idea is an apartment just off campus. I was at UW doing research and saw a message board with lots of students looking for apartment roommates.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot for the reply.
Yeah, I've visited the website, and gone to all the individual Greek sites.
It's helped a little.
But I'd really like to know the reputation of most the sororities from a UW students.
I'm glad to hear your friend is in a decent sorority, that gives me hope!</p>
<p>I definitely DON'T want to live at home.
I'm doing everything I can to get away.
My sister is a Senior in college, and still lives at home....
She seems really disattached from her school, and doesn't have too many friends.
But she still loves her school.
So I'm trying to avoid that.
Which is why I'm trying to go to a school out of Seattle.
But I'll go to UW if I absolutely have to, and am trying to look into ways to get out of my house.</p>
<p>I don't really know much about it but my Indian friend is in an "Asian" sorority and she seems to have a lot of fun in it. Her facebook is filled with pictures of her sisters and whatnot doing all sorts of activities with their logo sweatshirts and all. I also don't think she's MUCH of a partyer but who knows. This isn't much information but it at least it tells you not all the sororities at UW are the typical stereotype? Lol.</p>
<p>Thanks. I've looked at the Asian sorority. But they don't have their own house... so that's out of the question. I'm joining so that I'll have somewhere else to live besides home...</p>
<p>I'm going to be an incoming freshmen next fall. I've been rushing at Fijis and go up every once in a while. I don't know a ton about the sorority deal but i've met a lot of them at fiji parties and I have met a ton of really nice cool girls. Yea there is a ton of partying and drinking that comes along with being in a fraternity/sorority but it is your choice. The Theta and Pi Phi girls besides being really good looking seem to be pretty cool. You might want to check out their houses...</p>
<p>my boyfriend is in a fraternity there so im up there a ton, and i have friends in a ton of different sororities up there and can tell you that joining would be such a good choice! all the girls i know are so nice and ive met tons of people that just want to hang out and have fun. rush is intense but its incredibly worth it, i have known all my life im going to be in one because everyone on both sides of my family has. they give you a really good experience and its soo much better to have people you know before school actually starts. since rush is about 3 weeks before the first day of school, you will be more comfortable with the campus and the new lifestyle through the adjustment time and because everyone in the house will just want to help you!</p>
