As far as music tastes go -- I know I wouldn't have to give it up, but I think if I go through with this I'd have to hide it. I mean, if I'm pledging and there's a party or whatever, I don't think I should roll my eyes and make a snarky comment when I hear Dave Matthews Band or something like that. I definitely want to try my best to fit in, especially at first.

Also, should I dress how I normally dress or should I dress more like the sorority girls I see?

So...if someone were to ask you why you want to go through recruitment, what would you say?

And as far as the column you wrote...was this a commentary or a news article? What was your argument? Was it full of judgments and stereotypes?

And for the record, I held several officer positions on the school newspaper. Sorority women come from all different backgrounds, and have many different tastes. You are only focusing on what's different, versus finding commonalities.

I'm starting to wonder if this is for real...

word. Jen K is this you? lol

I'm sure she would have mentioned her legacy status. After all, that was the only reason she got in.

My biggest piece of advice:

Work on your judgemental attiude.

In life, not everyone in the world is going to like what you like, listen to what you listen to, etc.

Oh, the thing I wrote in the newspaper was a column. The people at the newspaper usually take an anti-Greek stance. There's a a lot binge drinking at my school and last year a frat pledge from TKE had to go to the hospital because of alcohol poisoning. I did't write anything about that, but our newspaper made a big stink about banning TKE.
