hey!

okay, so this is what i told my sister this time last year. go through the recruitment process, meet the sororities and the sisters, and get to know them. see if you like what you see. but dont worry about 'being liked' or 'disliked.' be yourself. and at the end of the process (at my school, its a week) you should know more about the sororities, the girls, and if you want to keep going, or say, 'you know, its just not for me.'

the money: yeah, you pay for the right to wear the letters, not for the friendships. they just happen to be a bonus!

you are smart. all organizations - greek or not - want the smart ones! so yay for you. being smart and knowing what you want, and having goals does not, DOES NOT make you a dork: it makes you a strong person.

and as for how you look: as long as you are healthy and happy, then they should not care. if glasses make you comfy, then keep them. you should never, NEVER change yourself just to get into a sorority. thats when you leave real sisterhood behind, and walk into the stereotype, plus fake FAKE FAKE friends. you want true friends, who care for you the way you are.

drinking.... i will admit that some people choose to party with it. you can go out and have fun without the booze. it actually is funnier, because you get to see the sloshed people making fools of themselves - quite funny, i must say.

the way you have described yourself reminds me of my roommate, and fellow sister. she, too, graduated with high marks, and felt she was not the quote 'sorority' type. she went through our recruitment week, and found that at the end of the week that she wanted to join. she found sisters who accepted her, and loved her for her: we wanted her brains, funnies, and girl-next-door looks. we didnt want the stereotype.

again, i say go through the recruitment process to get more information, and for the experience.


i hope that i have helped, at least a little.

btw: what sororities are on your campus? perhaps some of the others on here could help through that info??
