<p>I'm looking to Rush for a sorority at my college. But, I've just read one too many horror stories about how grades were sacrificed by Rushing.
I feel as if I'm a competent individual and I've had to come through some hardships to organize my time properly and to take challenging courses (5 APs etc). But is college a lot different?
Is it impossible? Because if it's between grades and a sorority I'm choosing grades (want to go to grad school and whatnot).

<p>It depends on the school. Some schools make sure that rush events don’t interfere with academic things, and will work with you, like my school. Other schools have rush stuff before classes even start, so classes don’t even factor into the equation. Of course there are probably schools whose rush interferes with classes and such, but you may have to contact the head of Greek Life or a person in a similar position.</p>
<p>Rush is before classes begin for my school. But I guess I’ll look up what activities these girls do…</p>
<p>If it’s before classes, I wouldn’t worry too much. There might be some important nights/ weeks after classes start, but overall rush will probably be less of a time commitment during that first semester.</p>
<p>Ah - very cool. I’m fortunate to have a considerate school! :)</p>
<p>If you get a bid to pledge the sorority, often people compare it to having another class on your schedule. </p>
<p>But most people I know stated that they had one of their best GPA during the semester that they were pledging. Plus, there are GPA requirements in most sororities (at least the good ones) in order for you to remain a member.</p>
