I am not undermining the apparently better marks that Greek members achieve over non-Greek students. But the partying certainly seems to prevail...I don't see why I should invest my money into events that I will ultimately choose not to participate in. That being said, the whole experience doesn't seem to be a good investment, as I can still meet many fabulous people without joining a sorority. I can still join clubs and student organizations where I can practice and develop my leadership skills and confidence. I can certainly participate in charity work in other aspects of campus life and even beyond that. And that all comes without me having to pay extra money.

Correct me if im wrong, but no one is putting a gun to your head and telling you that you have to rush or go through anyone's membership intake process. So whats the problem? You saw something that you didnt like and now you dont want to do it....so dont freaking do it. No one can make the decision for you.
