Serenity, thanks so much for this post!

It has really helped me decide whether to rush. I really had no idea what to expect once I joined a sorority. I was worried that it would just be about wearing letters and partying. That really wasn't what I was looking for.
I have been contemplating whether to pledge a social or service organization. Now I know that social organizations are also committed to service to the community. Also, I'm happy to know that there is so much more to it than the undergrad experience.
I now know that I DO have what it takes!
Thanks again!
