Piggying back on Shelia's statement...
when I rushed one of the social/service sororities in Fall 2003, they told us that they scheduled socials Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and occasionally on Wednesday. We HAD to attend at least 50% of the socials and attendance at all was encouraged.
I was attracted to the community service part but there was nothing there really about community service. It seemed more of a group of girls who socialized with fraternities, did the occasional service project, and participated in THON.

As an alumna of Gamma Sig at Penn State, I really resent these statements. I pledged because I wanted to concentrate on philanthropy more than anything. Yes, there were socials and we participated in some weeklongs, but that doesn't discredit the amount of service hours that were required (and greatly exceeded by the majority of the sisterhood). We were never forced to attend socials with fraternities. I understand that there are some girls that do join social/service sororities just for the social aspect, but they are certainly in the minority.
