<p>I'm not thrilled with the school I'm going to in the fall- I'm only going because they offered me such a good financial aid package. My parents are hoping that things will be stable enough this year and going forward that it would be feasible for me to attend my dream school as a sophomore or junior. </p>
<p>At the school I will be attending in the fall, I'm considering participating in Greek Life. My sister and brothers have all done it before and it seemed to be great fun and very enriching for their college lives. I'm just wondering what the ramifications would be of joining a sorority at one school and then transferring to another school without sororities (my first choice has no Greek Life). Would I be better off not even participating in Rush?</p>
<p>While my idea is not show up on campus with the attitude of 'I'm just biding my time', how would you suggest navigating things like social commitments when I have the intention of leaving after a year or two?</p>
<p>i am in exactly the same situation as you, although i’m the first in my family with any interest in greek life. i don’t have any sage wisdom to offer, but i’ve decided to focus on the present and do my best to enjoy the time i spend at this school. i don’t know how long i will be here, and if by some slim chance i have to stay all four years i would really rather have fun than be isolated because i avoided making connections because i was planning to leave. </p>
<p>also, there’s no reason to feel guilty about making the commitment and then possibly backing out, because it happens all the time for various reasons, not just because you decide to transfer. as well, although it doesn’t sound like you need any help, joining a sorority would demonstrate campus involvement to potential transfer schools.</p>
<p>idk that was a kind of pointless wall of text. i just wanted to say that i know exactly how you feel and it sucks, but i’d rather take full advantage of the school i’m at than needlessly ‘save myself’ for another school.</p>
