Greek life when living off campus

[AOE2AlphaPhi]

My little lived with her boyfriend about 10 minutes from campus. She was very active in the chapter in terms of philanthropy and coming to chapter, but didn't make going out or socializing with the sisters outside of her A Phi family a priority. She deactivated a few weeks ago because she didn't feel like she had made that close a bond with the girls and it was too much money for what was basically a community service club for her. Obviously I'm devastated, especially because I feel like it would have been an extremely valuable experience for her if she had made more of an effort to hang out in the house/go out with us.

This story isn't supposed to scare you away, but I would be prepared to make your sorority a priority outside of just required/official events so that it's worth it for you. This means that during your new member period it's especially important to make friends in your pledge class who will tell you what's going on and who you'll want to hang out with. Don't get so focused on just the official stuff that you forget about having fun with your sisters!
