Prior to recruitment? Yes. The less negative attention you bring on yourself, the better.

You may know that you can count the times you've gotten drunk on one hand, but they don't.

No one said NEVER. We just said before recruitment (i.e. next summer and fall time).

I mean, you can do what you want.

But just be aware that the things you say/do when out could potentially affect your recruitment.

I personally do not think that going out to bars/frats/etc is the venue in which you want to meet sorority women. That's probably the worst.

You want to meet them in other settings like class/other organizations/etc.

Do you want to be "Jenny that I met in class" or "Jenny that I met at *insert fraternity or bar here*?"

I would prefer to be "Jenny I met in class."

This is all up to you, though. Good luck!

I think it's kind of ridiculous to tell someone to spend her entire freshman year as cloistered as a nun. If that's the price you have to pay to be in a sorority, I would say the hell with it.

Right before recruitment - yes, tone it down. But I think to say "don't go out all year" is ridiculous.

I don't think anyone said NOT EVER.

I mean, if you can't hold off on going out from like the start of school to recruitment, then being in a sorority is probably not that important to you.

As far as this year goes, I am realistic enough to know that you can't spend all of freshmen year sitting on your dorm.

However, I'd be smart about it this year and keep a low profile.

I also would not make going out your primary interaction with sorority women. That's not a good idea.
