Me!

For two semesters now, I have managed to balance having roles in school productions and holding offices in my sorority (one of those offices being vice president). My theatre program is also extremely demanding of my time and energy. Was it always easy? No. But, I've developed killer time management skills (mostly), and I feel like it's really prepared me for life.

As SWTXBelle said, there will be times you have to miss an event. I was out of most sorority events for about a month during the worst part of my show (including Homecoming!). But, your sisters should understand that academics come first- and because your major is theatre, that is an academic thing. Your degree and future always come first. Be up front with the sororities that you're a theatre major, but if the sorority has any theatre majors in it, they should understand.

Also, being in my sorority has helped me gain confidence- something that is essential to anyone pursing a career in the arts. You have to know that you can do this, and while you may not be perfect for this part, you are perfect for some part. I wouldn't be as confident as I currently am without the confidence and support of my sisters.
