Greek

I'm deciding whether or not to join Greek Life...

There was an info meeting last night, and it seemed alright. It was setup in a "science fair" style with each sorority having a table and decorated poster-board on display. You can definitely tell the different feel with each group, but for only spending a few minutes talking it may be too soon to tell. There are designated "counselors" who are basically girls that "give up their letters for recruitment so they can help new members find their letters," and there to help you with any questions and such.

They gave us a nifty Sorority Life Guide that lays out all the info about Greek Life, recruitment and the different chapters at the university. It is a helpful tool, for sure.

Honestly, I just felt OLD. All the girls seemed to be barely 20 and high-school-y.. no offense to those of you who are still getting through high school! For going on 24 and just now getting into the university lifestyle, it will just take a little getting used to.

I've filled out the application probably three times now, but every time I get to the end I'm not sure it's something I want to spend $65 on. Not to mention what happens if I get a bid... then I have to worry about $800-$1200 in dues PER semester, plus the time commitment. Buuuut then you have all those current members saying how they also work, do well in classes, and have a ton of fun with their sisters... so I don't know if I'm just being speculative.

Maybe I'll go through with it. You're only in college once, right? Besides, then I can tell you all about it in case you are thinking of doing the same. =)
