As a Penn State alum, I can say that I am proud of my Penn State and sorority experience! I hope you girls are looking at "ALL" of the sororities and not just getting your hopes set on any particular one. If you open yourself up to all of the chapters, you have a chance to get involved in Greek Life!
Remember that just because sorority XYZ is the best at Penn State, that doesn't mean it is the best at another school and vice versa. I know many girls who have joined various organizations on campus and their experience was incredible at Penn State but also as an Alumna member of the sorority.
Why don't you check out chapters that may not have the greatest numbers and are more flexible when it comes to taking juniors?
Just remember: When THON rolls around-nobody cares WHAT sorority you joined, but just that you joined and spent some of your weekends canning for money to support Children's Pediatric Cancer! I implore you to go on YouTube and check out videos of this year's THON. Once you watch that, you'll understand why I am so proud to say I am a member of Phi Mu from Penn State University! THON makes me feel like I am part of something bigger than myself! Also, ALL of the sororities support various philanthropies that you can help with!
Would you rather join a sorority that isn't the #1 on campus or join a sorority that you can help build up (and also get involved with as an Alumna) and work to raise money for THON? Do you really want to give that up? Joining a sorority at Penn State isn't hard-just keep an open mind!
