My sister is correct. I have known several girls over the years who got into the "best" chapter on campus, the one every PNM dreamed of, the one all the frats wanted to mix with, etc. etc...

...and hated it. Everybody told them they were crazy to give up their spots, but they dropped before Initiation because it so obviously wasn't for them. Instead of going with their gut, they went for the chapter everyone was telling them was the best. It might be the best for some girls, but certainly not for everybody. Don't join a sorority to become like the sisters, join one where you can be yourself with them. Well, unless you want to become more philanthropic and have a higher GPA, or something noble like that .

(Anyway, those girls ended up pledging other chapters the next year and went on to lead happy Greek lives. But they would tell you that if they did it over again, they would have chosen differently.)

FYI - this is not really an option at FSU, or any of the SEC and ACC campuses.

When do all of the sisters return to campus to prepare for recruitment? I thought they would have by now and I still see one of my neighbor's daughters home.

Why is it not an option to pledge a different chapter your second year at FSU, but it's okay at other schools? Just curious.

It is more difficult to get a bid as a sophomore or junior at alot of the bigger schools in the south like FSU. The chapters mostly prefer freshmen, as they will be in school for 4 years as opposed to 2 or 3.
