<p>I know there have been some other threads on Greek life, so I apologize if this has been answered somewhere else, but here's my question:</p>
<p>I've never had much of an interest in joining a sorority. I did go to the Greek life session at orientation and I've been researching a bit on the pan-hellenic website, and I just don't think it's for me. There are a lot of other things I want to do while I'm in college, and I don't think I want to give up the time that a sorority requires. I wasn't planning to rush, but I've been hearing that almost everybody rushes even if they don't plan to pledge and that it's a great way to meet people. So- will I be seriously missing out if I don't rush? Are there a significant number of girls who don't rush? I know that only 20% of the school ends up going Greek, but if 90% of the freshmen girls rush, maybe I shouldn't skip it...</p>
<p>Sorority rush is more involved than fraternity rush, and Im relatively unfamiliar with the process, so Ill have to defer to someone else on that one.</p>
<p>But for fraternity rush Seriously, dude, theres no reason not to. Its free. You dont have to pledge just because you rush. And its an all-around awesome time. Fraternities will take you out bowling, take you to comedy shows in Hollywood, take you go-cart racing, take you to sports games, etc. </p>
<p>Its just a whole lot of fun, and its a great way to get to know people, even if youre not convinced that you want to pledge.</p>
<p>At the Greek session at orientation they said that about 800 girls participated in Rush last year, which is a little over 60%. It sounds like you are curious so maybe you should give it a try and see for yourself rather than rely on other's opinions.</p>
