Is it possible to be in a sorority while double majoring

[aj12291]

Yes yes yes it's quite possible! While I'm not technically a double major, I'm a physics major and I'm also pre-health (there's very little overlap, and I believe it's pretty close credit-wise). I also know *many* sisters who are double majors. It's challenging to balance two majors (or a pre-health curriculum & a major, or a major and minors, or whatever the case may be), but I feel like I would barely be keeping my head above water if I weren't in a sorority. ΚΔ has been wonderful at helping me become better at time management. Yes, I have made a commitment of quite a bit of time to my sorority (and hopefully more if I'm elected to council this fall!), but knowing that I have all of these other things on my schedule, I'm better able to tell myself that something can't be put off another night.

I also do quite a bit of my homework/studying at the chapter house, as do many of my sisters. I find myself more productive when I have people around me who are also being productive, and it helps that I usually have at least one sister in every class to study/do homework with. We all put academics first. Our all-sorority GPA is higher than the all-women's GPA on my campus (as is the fraternity vs. all male, and all-Greek/all campus), and my chapter's GPA is higher than the all-sorority/all-Greek GPAs (and I believe our chapter GPA is at 3.3 currently). I'm also above all of these.

So yes, I think it's definitely possible. I personally think being in a sorority does wonders for my academics, and can actually help women who are struggling academically, whatever the reason may be.

Also, If you're saying maintain a 3.6, you are *certainly* not stupid. I don't know anyone who finds college a breeze. It's work. It should be challenging... or what would the point be? And if you actually don't think you can do it, then I agree that sorority is the least of your worries.
