Oh that is a good one! I know we wanted to see a lot of money we raised from our philantrhopy go to the school so people could see it in action on campus, and then we wanted to donate within the community.
I need to check with our VP Philanthropy and see where the money went! I wouldn't have a clue what to say if I was asked besides "Uhm, some went to the campus and some went to the community."
Let's see about some of the rest...
Philanthropy - Service for Sight (helping the blind)
Time Consumption - If looking from the outside in, you can see how much time being in a sorority takes up. But looking from the inside, you see the time is actually spent doing many things. For example some people study in the chapter room, or some girls go to the movies or something, we do different kinds of community service, and we have meetings. Even though this might seem like too much, my first semester at USM I had enough time to drive home every weekend and still see my family. I grew out of that eventually, but the time you spend with sisters doesn't seem like long at all, and there is still plenty of time left to do other things. If you ever need to miss a meeting because of family or something, there are always ways to work things out. Being in a sorority shouldn't feel like a job, it should be something that you want in your life - and if you look at it like that you won't mind spending time with the people you love and the people who love you back.
Do We Party - We do have social events and enjoy going out, but we also have many other great aspects that make being a DG great. We do community service, we have sisterhood events which are like HUGE slumber parties, and no matter if we are at a club or just sitting around in the chapter room, we always find some way to have fun.
Why I chose DG - During the time I went through recruitment, I would get so nervous going to different party rounds. Whenever I came into DG I just felt so calm and relaxed. I just felt like I didn't have to feel nervous around them. It also seemed like I would make the biggest fool out of myself whenever I was in DG - but it ony made the people I talk to laugh. I think all the other sororities at southern miss are great, but with DG I just cliked the best. I could just see the girls I talked to as my best friends, and people I could be laid back and silly around.
Feel free to critque me on my answers. This is my first time, so if these aren't good answers tell me now! hahaha
I just thought of a good question -
How much does it cost to be in your sorority? I heard this rarly gets asked (because we have a pre-rush book that goes out to the girls with all of the panhellenic dues), but there is always that one girl who wants to hear it from your mouth.
