For most people college is a transition from being almost totally dependent on others to being almost totally independent. It's a journey. But unlike everything you've ever done before you are going to do this journey on your own for the most part...your parents, your teachers, your friends, the people you knew from high school or your hometown...none of them are going to do this for you. Don't spend a second of it worrying about popularity or cliques! If you want to surround yourself with people who will care about you and cheer you on through your college journey, then make checking out sorority life one part of it. But do it for yourself and by yourself because you are the only person who it will matter to whether you join or not.
