Greek & very involved on campus

[KSUViolet06]

I went through Spring '06 recruitment and love greek life. But I got a second major, plan on running track next year and got accepted into another club.

I just wanted to know if there are any other Greeks who are in other clubs or doing sports. Is it difficult or stressful? Does it conflict with service projects? ...What has been your experience? And do you have any tips/advice?

Thanks!

Sounds like you have quite a bit on your plate.

Almost everyone on this site is active in something other than his or her Greek organization. They are in a variety of activities, majors, and have jobs.

In addition to Sigma, I'm involved in Kappa Phi Service Club, The Dive (KSU's branch of Campus Crusade), and the club for my major.

My advice:

*Academics are always your first priority. Everything else is secondary.

*Get a planner. Use it.

*Know which events for each group are the MOST important for you to attend. For example, recruitment events are mandatory for my sorority, and service projects for Kappa Phi are mandatory.

*If an event is optional, and you have a mandatory event for another organization, sometimes you just have to skip the optional event. There have been times where I've skipped sisterhoods to go to mandatory Kappa Phi ceremonies.

*Remember that it's ok NOT to be in a leadership role. I've never been on Executive Board, just because I know that once you are on Exec, your priorities are with that group.
