I understand that the sorority commitment is a serious one, but the sister's participation in the sport may in fact bring accolades to the sorority. Do the sororities attempt to work with the new pledge if they participate in a varsity sport?

Bottom line, can the sports questions possibly put the pnm on the spot?

I think it would be a plus for the girl because then the sorority could say that they have a girl on the varsity soccer (for example) team. It looks a lot better during recruitment to say that your members are involved with Campus Ministry, Dance Team, Circle K, Teachers of Tomorrow, Soccer Team, and are RAs than it does to say that a few of your girls have gone to a few meetings in other clubs, but no one really participates in anything too much outside of the sorority.

The current president of my old chapter is a varsity gymnast. She is an AMAZING president, an amazing sister, and an even more amazing gymnast! If a sorority turns their nose up at a girl because of a sport...I, personally, think the sorority is nuts. DG encourages all memebers to be active in AT LEAST one other club or activity (outside of DG). Well rounded girls are are the ones we want!!

By the way...what sorority wouldn't want a girl like this:

Plus, how much fun is it going to games/competitions and having a HUGE cheering section!
