I'll be rushing this fall as a sophomore.As someone who has completed their freshmen year as an "independent" girl (as non greeks are referred at my school), I feel like I've sort of experienced both sides. I have a big group of really close friends at my school. About half of us are greek and half of us aren't. Although I sometimes went out with my friends and other girls in their sorority, most of the time it was just me and my friends. Just because you become Greek doesn't mean you can't have non Greek friends. If the sorority you pick discourages you from associating with people who aren't greek or aren't you sisters, maybe they aren't the right one for you. I can't imagine a sorority telling you who you are allowed to be friends with though. I know that I am now close to the sorority that my friends are in. They didn't discourage my friends from hanging out with me-they actually encourage it and ask me to do stuff with them.
If you are really having doubts about it, always remember to ask about it during rush. We are supposed to ask questions, right? That sounds like a really good one especially since you are really worried about it! I hope this made sense....it's late
