<p>Is it worth it to join a sorority?</p>
<p>Your question is to vague. Only you can answer that questions. Seems like the girls that join sororities are happy they joined and absolutely love it. Girls that do not join claim to say the same thing. There is no definite answer; however, I will add that girls joining sororities have increased year after year at a high rate the last 5 years.</p>
<p>it is increasing in members, but community service is a biggie in many of these groups. It is not the stereotypical sorority you would find in other schools</p>
<p>You’re right; my question was too vague. What I mean is, is greek life at GW the only way to have a social life? Also, if you do join greek life, is it easy to hang out with people that aren’t in a sorority or fraternity? Basically, I’m really just wondering if it’s possible to be a part of both “worlds” (greek life and non-greek life) or if joining greek life prevents you from doing social activities outside of the sorority/fraternity. I hope this is a less vague question.</p>
<p>Is it hard to join a sorority?</p>
<p>It is not as difficult to join a sorority as in other schools. You will meet them during orientation week, and you may either sign up at that time for evaluation later on, or you can join later. Either way you’ll be “interviewed”. They’ll let you know if you made it, and as I recall, initiation is in ?February. Sorority thing was not for me, but i can be great! I hope you make it, have fun.</p>
<p>I’m a member of greek life and so far, I love it. As someone else stated before, sororities aren’t the stereotypical sororities that one finds at huge state schools. Yes, you will meet and make lots of new friends through it but no, it does not rule your social life. I personally have lots of really great friends who aren’t in greek life at all. I met them in my dorm or at orientation, mostly. Fall rush (the main one) didn’t happen until the third week in September this year, so you pretty much had the opportunity to establish a good group of friends before joining a greek organization. I go out with both my non-greek and greek friends equally, for the most part, and I have great times with both of them. The greeks I know are really happy in their element and the non-greeks I know are happy too. It just depends on the person.</p>
<p>Oh, and to answer the question of whether or not it was difficult to join a sorority:</p>
<p>Recruitment for the girls is four days long but it’s extremely time-consuming. Those four days basically consist of eating, sleeping, and rushing haha. It does get better each day though, because you are going to less parties and narrowing down your options to sororities that fit you better. So while the experience is pretty draining, the majority of girls I know are really happy they went through it. You just gotta keep your eye on the prize hah and if you realize halfway through recruitment that it’s not for you, you can always drop out!</p>
