Thanks so much! I was afraid I wouldn't get any responses at all...but yay!
My experience with recruitment was overall positive (well, a couple awkward moments but I'm sure everyone has them) and I've had a really amazing couple years so far, so I think this might be the time. I will certainly think about it this summer.
I know quite a few girls from various sororities (not best buddies, but enough to say hi) and have gotten something of a feel for them (albeit from an outsider perspective). My only real concern now is the time (thanks to everyone for dissuading my fear of being too old...some of the recruitment stuff from US schools sounds scary).
The time concern I specifically have is something unique to UBC...I'm in Phrateres and have been since my 1st year. And we do lots of "similar" things. I wouldn't want to be in a situation where I would have to choose between the two because I have quite involved in the club and have many great friends.
I realize that 99% of people probably won't understand why I would want to possibly be in both that and a sorority...sometimes I question it myself. But I can see enough differences and would be very interested in recruitment and learning more through that process. That said, I wouldn't want anyone to get the wrong idea about why I would be doing recruitment (I'm not "defecting" from Phrateres, not doing it as a joke, and would certainly never try to steal people away!) I don't know how relations are between the club and sororities, so maybe I'm just a complete head-in-the-clouds optimist?
But maybe I've said too much...:s Anyway, thanks everyone! I was happy to see there were actually UBC greeks on this site
p.s. I went to the ubcsororities website oodles of times before even getting the nerve to post anything here. I think it, and the individual websites are all beautifully well done
