Should I join a sorority?

I also want to join two other clubs on campus, but I think being in a sorority would take up too much time for leisure activities! Is sorority life right for me?

Your user name is a little conflicted, isn't it?

If you are planning to go to Texas, your first year living outside the house will run roughly $4000 - $5000 per year. As an active living in the house, you are looking at roughly $10,000 to $12,000 per year. It all depends on what sorority you're in, but they are all in that general range.

I think A&M is a little less expensive, but not by that much as far as I know.

LOL I didn't even notice that.

I hope that's not a nickname she keeps if she's deciding to go to either one of those schools.

Haha, I actually am waiting for acceptance letters from both schools. Right now, I'm torn between both schools! How much are dues each month, on average? If no one I know is Greek, where do I get my recs from? Could someone tell me more about the rush process? Sorry about all these questions, I've just never been around anyone that's in a sorority! Thank you all!
