I was on the dance team my first two semesters as a collegian and I had a hard time juggling my schedule during my pledge period. I joined in the Spring, so we were in the middle of basketball season -- which meant games on weeknights and on weekends.

I really wanted to be a part of that chapter and for a while I felt like I was missing out on a lot because of practice and games, but my sister-mom and Frat Ed Advisor reassured me I was still part of the chapter. Even though I couldn't attend all the pledge events, I could still try to enjoy my time 200% more at the ones I could go to. We've had cheerleaders and x-c members in my chapter before and it's never been a problem.
