No one said NEVER. We just said before recruitment (i.e. next summer and fall time).

I mean, you can do what you want.

But just be aware that the things you say/do when out could potentially affect your recruitment.

I personally do not think that going out to bars/frats/etc is the venue in which you want to meet sorority women. That's probably the worst.

You want to meet them in other settings like class/other organizations/etc.

Do you want to be "Jenny that I met in class" or "Jenny that I met at *insert fraternity or bar here*?"

I would prefer to be "Jenny I met in class."

This is all up to you, though. Good luck!

I think it's kind of ridiculous to tell someone to spend her entire freshman year as cloistered as a nun. If that's the price you have to pay to be in a sorority, I would say the hell with it.

Right before recruitment - yes, tone it down. But I think to say "don't go out all year" is ridiculous.

I don't think anyone said NOT EVER.

I mean, if you can't hold off on going out from like the start of school to recruitment, then being in a sorority is probably not that important to you.

As far as this year goes, I am realistic enough to know that you can't spend all of freshmen year sitting on your dorm.

However, I'd be smart about it this year and keep a low profile.

I also would not make going out your primary interaction with sorority women. That's not a good idea.
