To Rush or Not to Rush

[sillygooseegg26]

So I am a sophomore in college right now and I am going to transfer to a college that doesn't have a sorority system. Once I graduate I am planning on going to medical school and some of the schools that are on my list have a sorority system. I was wondering what people think about a graduate participating in rush. I wanted to join a sorority freshman year but I changed schools a few times so I didn't have a chance. What do ya'll think I should do?

If you're in med school, you're not going to have time to be a regular member of a sorority, let alone rush and pledge one. Plus some groups do not accept graduate students.

Also if you transferred multiple times, that wouldn't have helped either. Sorry but I think you cooked your own goose as far as this is concerned.

Are you serious? In med school you would have trouble breathing. No way will you be able to commit to a sorority. Also why did you transfer so much? People are going to think if you can't commit to one school, you wouldn't be able to commit to the sorority.

As a former medical student and sorority new member (at two different times, obviously), I think your plan is absolutely ludicrous. If you want a sorority experience, do it in college. If you can't have it in college, you really can't have it in medical school. You would have nothing in common as a 21 year old medical student struggling to become a professional physician with 18 year old women partying and playing Big Sis/Lil Sis. If joining a sorority was really in your list of priorities at that time in your life, your maturity level would not be high enough to be in medical school.
