Rush & Greek life at UCF

[ashley99]

Hi!! I am new to this board and was hoping that someone could answer some questions for me... From browsing I have seen a couple of people here that go to UCF - hopefully you are reading this...
Anyway, I will be a sophomore at UCf in th efall and was thinking about joining a sorority. I don't really know much about the particular organizations and I have so many questions. I have heard mixed reactions from the few girls I know that are in sororities. One of them told me that all it really is is partying and drinking and if your not really into that you should not join, but a lot of people seem to say that it is so much more than that. I am not really that type that parties very often and I rarely drink, so ?I am wondering if mabe greek life is not for me? Also, what is rush like at UCf? from what one girl told me "it is the best week of your life that you never want to have happen again". I am not quite sure what she meant by this. Also, how much time does being in a sorority take up? Most of my close friends and my boyfriend are not involved in greek organizations and I want to make sure I will still have time for them... especially for my boyfriend- he is so worried that I will never have time for him and run off with a fraternity guy or something (which I wouldn't).
Sorry this is kinda long, but i foyu can answer any of my questions or just tell about sororities in general that would be great!!
