<p>So, i havent seen any threads on this. can anyone tell me about it?</p>
<p>It doesnt take over the campus’ social scene like at most SEC schools, Auburn and Ole Miss to name some. But joinin will really help you to get to know people, and get invited to some of the most bad ass parties on campus, but in no way does it affect your social life not joinin. I already looked this up on a creditable site that has articles about colleges that are written by its alumni and current students, this isnt from personal exserience.
But i hoped it helped.</p>
<h2>My D is in a sorority. Here are some excerpts of comments I have made on the FSU board on CC.</h2>
<h2>If you rush and join, you will pay for meals at the sorority house. Meals are not every meal every day. Some sororities don’t serve meals on weekends, or for breakfast unless you live in the house. So if you live where there is a required meal plan, you can visit the campus dining office and downgrade your meal plan so that it covers less meals after rush. THEY WILL TELL YOU ABOUT THIS AT RUSH. Meals with sisters makes a big campus seem smaller.</h2>
<h2>Being a member of a sorority is expensive. But, my D has had many leadership opportunities. She is on the executive board of her sorority, and will be going all expenses paid to the national leadership convention this summer. She has already been to two regional leadership conferences. And being in the sorority got her involved in dance marathon at FSU. This totally student run organization raised over $450,000 just last year for the Children s Miracle Network. FSU was one of the original 5 U’s to start a DM, an she is now on the overall committee that runs this, and will go to DC this summer for the national DM leadership conference.</h2>
<p>A sorority often make a BIG UNIVERSITY seem smaller. It helps you get involved in campus. You make contacts, and a sister always knows someone on campus. The GPA of the sororities is higher than the GPA of those not in a sorority.</p>
<p>You can definitely be involved at FSU without being Greek. But if you are a little shy, if you like the idea of a home away from home and having a family that has your back, you might want to consider at least going through rush. It is stressful on both the potential new members and the sisters. Sometimes things seem superficial. But behind the coordinated dresses, the makeup, hair and the similar shoes during rush, you will find smart, involved girls who take their membership and make opportunities. And the only time sisters dress up like this is for rush, date functions, and formals. The rest of the time they live in T-shirts and flip flops like everyone else.</p>
