eeek! i have to say "NOOOOOO" to the student loans. biggest mistake ever. (granted i wouldnt have been able to go to college without them, but 10 years later I'm still $35 grand in debt to my loan companies). Taking out a loan just to be invoved in your greek org is a bad idea.

I know girls who had "that boyfriend" in undergrad. They joined a sorority and quit because of the bf. Like 5 minutes after they quit, they broke up with said bf. Cue regret. lol.

My parents pay my dues because even with them added in, living in the sorority house is still less than living off campus. However for next year, we have a deal. They'll pay one semester and I'll pay one semester. T-shirts and everything are considered extras. If I want them, I pay for them myself.
I had "that" boyfriend too. He had this stereotypical sorority girl from the movies in his mind and said if I rushed, he would "lose all respect for me." I lost the boy and gained a sisterhood.

I had the same situation!

That's the reason I didn't rush when I first had the chance. I regret it everyday. Lesson learned.

Because your time was split between going to class and being fratty? I know, there's never enough time to squeeze in a random work study, 10 hour/week job.
No seriously, why no time for a job? Were you involved in a lot of campus activities/sports teams? Or like a triple major of some sort?

Riiiiiiiiight, i can imagine filling out an application and listing reasons for the loan - koozies and t-shirts for rush.

I'll bite. I didn't pay my own dues in undergrad. But I paid for all extras (ex: shirts, Little Sis gifts, etc.) I also wouldn't have dared to look down on another person because they worked to pay for it (that was the norm at my school).

I paid for my dues (so are my younger siblings). My parents paid for my tuition and dorm/meal plan, but everything extra (sorority dues and other sorority things, other college activities, and in my case, dance costumes) I had to pay for. I got a job answering the phones in one of the department offices for 10 hours a week (and spent most of that time doing homework). It didn't pay a ton, but it paid my bills.

My parents (and my student loans) paid for room & board and tuition. I paid for everything else-such as dues. I also didn't work during the school year, but in the summers I held 2 jobs and I worked crazy hours in the 6 weeks between thanksgiving and Christmas (my school was off during that time). I also learned to budget well and make decisions such as- do I need every single favor from every event?

I think she was trying to make some sort of pointed stalkery comment toward me with that. Which is amusing because apparently she can't count to 10.
