Study hours structure varies from chapter to chapter. In my chapter, everyone (new members included) had study hours based on their GPA (the lower it was, the more you had to do). These had to be completed either at the house or in the library (unless you had special arrangements to do them somewhere else). Each week at meeting, you recorded your hours in the study hours binder.

I'm going to be repetitive here (what else is new?), but to all PNMs, be careful about making sure that you don't seem reluctant at recruitment.

Too many "how much time does this take?" "what events are required?" "how much does this cost?" type questions can make you seem like someone who will drop out of the group later if it gets too busy or demanding. You want to communicate that you are eager to be involved so you don't end up released in favor of a more interested girl.

You are entitled to know what you are getting into with time and money commitments, but be patient and see what the sororities disclose in second and third round and ask rho chis sometimes, rather than the members, unless you can figure out ways to ask that seem eager and positive.

Does that make sense?

It's really good that you are asking here; but be careful at the actual parties.
