Since joining a sorority is something that's been on your mind for awhile, I strongly suggest that you give rush a shot. If the girls really are snotty, that should make itself obvious right off the bat. At least give them a chance before you decide they're not the kind of girls you'd like to be friends with. Don't decide they're bad people based on what a bunch of non-Greeks are saying, if you've met some of the girls and they've been sweet to you. Don't your friends realize how dumb it sounds to make generalizations like that about a huge, diverse, group of women? I'm not sure how sorority girls are at OSU, but I don't think ANY national sorority chapter can afford to just party all the time. Some girls are wilder than others, but any national sorority pressures the chapters big time to keep their grades up or risk social probation, etc. Many social sororities will REQUIRE that each sister do a certain number of service hours per semester. You definitely don't have to party all the time to get into a sorority, or to fit in once you're in, but it probably helps if you're the type of woman who at least enjoys being sociable, whether that means you're drinking or not. And if you really are that busy with school/work that you can't even make the time to be social once a week or so, you probably don't have enough time to devote to being in a sorority, with meetings, service and all. It can mean several hours a week that you're doing sorority-related things. And if you're too busy to attend chapter meetings, do service, or go to sorority-sponsored parties, what's the point of being in a sorority at all? You're not going to get the full experience if you don't have any time to devote to spending with the girls.
