Because i would LOVE to rush, i just want to make sure its the right decision

Sorority membership is quite a time commitment.

As a new member, you'll likely have alot of different activities to attend including new member meetings, community service events, social events, etc.

Many times, events will be held on weekends. I don't know how FSU sororities do everything, but I know that at my school, alot of the important events (NM ceremonies, Initiation, recruitment workshops, etc) were on weekends because those were days that we knew mostly everyone could come.

Really consider whether you can take on the time commitment BEFORE you go through recruitment.

It wouldn't make a whole lot of sense to go rush, get a bid, then have to depledge because you don't have time for it.
