When I think of "not doing anthing stupid," I think of keeping your head on your shoulders and being smart.

You don't want to be remembered as "that girl who got kicked out of XYZ fraternity, then puked on the street and started screaming obscenities."

or

"that girl who got drunk and flashed the entire party at ABC."

Don't do anything you don't want to be remembered by.

KSUViolet is right. It's great to go to the fraternity parties to meet people (both Greeks and non-Greeks, since Elon fraternity parties are a good mix). Just don't be the drunk one dancing on stage or sleeping with half of a fraternity. You can definitely have fun, but be responsible. If you look like a huge risk management liability, your chances of joining a sorority go WAY downhill.

I'm also an Elon Alum and congrats for going there! Its a great school with lots of opportunities!
Here is some other advice: Definetly get involved in other campus activities in the fall, there are tons of organizations - by doing that you'll be meeting greeks, it will also show that you have other interests.

Sorority sponsored campus wide Philanthropy events are becoming more popular and fun, not just having speakers come, (lots of trunk shows, buffet meals - like AXiD's A Xiti Dinner and Tri Delta's D-Hop, ZTA's breast cancer awareness, etc) you should attend those. You get to participate in the sororities philanthropy efforts, support a good cause and meet some of the greek women. Almost all the sororities support each other during their events, so you would get to meet a mix of the sorority women - not just the sorority who is hosting the event.

And like Xylochick said - definetly don't be "that girl", meaning don't go get all drunk, hook up with excessive amounts of guys (greek or not), or mouth off to a sorority woman in a stupor during the fall. People talk at Elon and most of the greeks are pretty friendly with each other and share information. Thats not saying don't go out or anything - you should! But don't be the girl that everyone on College ACB posts about!
