If nothing else, being in a sorority will teach you how to manage your time beautifully. Seriously. I think I'll be able to write a best-selling book on the subject after I graduate. :rollseyes:
There are a few things that you really ought to go to (ie weekly meetings) and a few that are fun extras, but can be moved to accommodate other things (TV night on the hall, etc.) I'm sure you'll have a bunch of people tell you about the multitude of things they're involved with, and how they still manage to float on top of it all. You know that; you've got a lot on your plate already.
A girl in my Rho Chi group was (still is, actually) on the cheerleading squad. It was a priority with her. She let people know in recruitment parties, in a polite yet firm manner, that cheerleading was important to her and took up a lot of time. One group flat-out told her they would never consider pledging her, for that reason. But she shrugged it off, and found an organization she loves, and which loves her right back. ADPi wouldn't be the same without her.
Just remember: it never hurts to try it out. Ask honest questions. Make a few new friends. You might decide school is more important, and don't want anything to mess with that. That's quite all right, and really a commendable (sp?), responsible attitude. You might also discover that you really want the chance to go Greek; in which case, go for it! You'll have a lot of support, both from your GLO and people here on GC.
Either way, be well-informed in order to make the right choice for YOU. And good luck!!!! and please forgive me for the length of my reply.
