A Week in the life

I am most likely going to go through sorority recruitment at my school in the fall, and I was just wondering how much time every week pledges and active members spend doing something sorority-related and what they do every week. Such as monday- 3 hours at chapter, thursday- did something for philanthropy... you get the idea.

I'm starting to have a hard time buying you as an upcoming sophomore at a school in Birmingham, AL, that is as unknowledgeable about all things greek as your posts have indicated.

You've been at school all year, haven't you met anyone in a sorority that can give you some of this information firsthand that is specific to your school?

I have social anxiety disorder and I didn't make any friends my first year.

You can't keep using the SAD card as a cop out.

Seriously, I hope you read the advice given to you in the other thread. Seek medical attention if you have to. Recruitment's one thing, but getting help to improve your life is what's most important and valuable.

Yeah, you started off your other thread with that little nugget of info. And then you never visited the thread again. But you did come start another thread. Right-o.

Boy arent we the critic today. lol Not knowledgeable about the school, sounds like a southern problem. Southern ideals have always differed from us Northerners esp during their little headache in the 1860s...doh!

Would someone please refer the poster, whom only has 11 posts, to what happens when the northerners and southerners cross paths.

Read my signature. It explains all.

I know what happens. We fight and we win...all over again. Then we plant the Union flag on southern soil, count up our losses, and impose our laws on them. ha ha ha ha!

j/k

Whoa whoa, if you want to get technical and all, the South would whip ass in present day. But we're nice, we'll keep our nice Southern culture, and all is well.

Leslie Anne, I love your signature. After Loyola, I think I should get myself a similar one.

To the OP, I know that you're kind of trying to get a general picture here, but let me say that "So, tell me what a typical week is like for you in your sorority. What kinds of things do you do together?" is a GREAT conversation starter during recruitment. It'll give the woman rushing you a chance to tell you about what sets her house apart from the others. Plus, she'll likely start blabbing for several minutes, which will give you a chance to get more comfortable in your surroundings during the party.
