Best of luck-- give formal recruitment a go.

Also, just to throw it out there-- do consider that marching band and a sorority are each large time committments. One of the two will have to compromise and if you pledge, you may find yourself missing a lot of sorority events due to marching band requirements. You may feel left out and not as close to your sorority sisters.

This is just a what-if scenario. We had ladies in our Greek system involved in the theatre program or marching band and while they were loved and appreciated, they were absent during big fall and spring events for their other activity and weren't able to experience sorority rites of passage or a lot of the little moments. Their time was spread very thin. This isn't to say you can't be successful at both, but do think about your options.

Before you pledge a sorority, ask yourself about the time committment and if your 4.0 can be maintained while you are part of two very time-consuming activities. You will also want to eventually get a part-time internship or pre-career experience.

Remember that the music groups have their own fraternal orgs where you can enjoy being Greek and have the flexibility of having more intimate understanding marching band obligations. This may be another option if pledging an NPC sorority concurrent with being a member of the band and a full-time student spreads you too thin.

Good luck -- I'm sure you will work out the best solution for your needs and interests.
