as usual, i have come up with some more questions about sororities! (it is just that the people on this board are so helpful!)
1. what happens if you have an unusual situation regarding finances? in my case, my parents are going through a separation/divorce - my father has PLENTY of money, but hardly gives any to my mother (with whom my siblings and i live) - he is paying for college (or at least, he has said he is going to, although he has no legal obligation to do so), and i may be able to ask him about sorority dues when the time comes, but will i be able to explain this to a sorority should a problem arise? what should i do in these circumstances?
2. this question seems pretty superficial, but i have been wondering about it for a while. i know that with the formal dances, it is similar to the ones in high school, where basically everyone has a date. seeing as i have never even been asked on a date (although i have taken dates to high school dances, and obviously i asked them), has anyone had a problem with this (as i mentioned in another thread, i have had problems with my weight)? i am just worried that i will not have anyone to accompany me to these events.
3. does knowing someone already in a certain sorority on your campus help you? for example, i know that the president of one of the sororities at my college went to my high school and graduated two years ahead of me, so she probably knows who i am. another girl graduated last year, and even though i'm not close friends with either of these girls, will this have any effect whatsoever?
4. is it helpful to research some background about the sororities you are rushing? i have looked briefly at the websites of all the glo's at my school, and was just wondering if this was a good ideas to continue doing. also, because you can't really know the reputation of each sorority until you get to school, does it help me to just find out some general information about each one - traditions, symbols, colors, etc?
5. would it help if you show a particular interest in a chapter's philanthropy? i mean, if you have volunteered in a tutoring program for children in the past, and the sorority's philanthropy is an organization for child advocacy, does this help?
i may edit this post later because i am sure i will have more questions! i apologize if some of my questions may seem misguided/uninformed - as i have mentioned previously, i am VERY unknowledgeable! thanks in advance for all of your help!
*edit: this isn't another question, but just something cool - tri delt's 'anniversary' is on my birthday!!
