I also thought I should ask...what are some things that you guys do to juggle school, work, sorority time, and also friends outside of the sorority. I realize that it is probably a pretty big time management thing, but I was just wondering.

watch the tv show Greek.

Ok, don't watch this show. While very entertaining, it's not an accurate portrayal of what sorority life is like. I mean come on, it's TV.

Anyway, it's all about prioritizing. School is always first. If you have test on Monday, and there's an optional sisterhood on Sunday night, it's okay to skip it and study.

I also suggest staying involved in at least one other organization outside of the sorority, it will make you more well-rounded and you'll have something to do on your own. We all LOVE our sororities, but they aren't our whole lives and it's good to have other interests.

It also helps to make plans to do things with your other friends regularly. Go to lunch, dinner, or shopping because believe it or not, there will be times when (as much as you love it) you're a little burned out with sorority stuff and just want to go hang out with other people.

I strongly suggest keeping a planner! I don't know how I could've survived undergrad without it!
