Wow, Rachel, I don't think that's what she was saying, actually.
I think what she was saying was, It's hard, but if you're willing to make the compromises you can do this.
Anytime someone says, "Thou shalt not pledge," I think it hurts greek life -- when you're putting down a blanket statement like that, it makes people think..... "wow, greek life must be a really bad decision for me if they come right out and FORBID it!"
Time management is a big skill you learn in college. But then so is prioritizing, and if you've got 2 little sisters at home you help take care of, a job that's putting you through school, and a boyfriend who's using up a lot of your emotional energy..... greek life might NOT be a good choice for you.
But if you're a good student, have a (little) extra time, and really are anxious to experience the bonds greek life can offer.... why the hell not? Just realize that for all greek life gives you -- and there is a LOT, as we all know -- it takes out, too. Namely from the sleep and money departments!
