Philanthropy is a Good Reason to Join

Ummmm...I disagree with your statement, wholeheartedly! One of the main reasons I joined Phi Mu was because I really felt a close connection to their philanthropy of Children's Miracle Network. I'm proud that my chapter from Penn State is largest money raiser for our national philanthropy through THON and our See-Saw Marathon. This year, alone, my sisters raised over $100,000 for CMN.

In fact, when I went through recruitment, I fell in love with a few of the sororities because they have some great philanthropies. Sometimes people join organizations for reasons that aren't always so vain. Sure, partying was fun but, don't look down on this girl for wanting to make a difference. As an Alumna, I give money back to my sorority, as well as, every year giving money to Penn State. Good for her!

If there are national organizations, I don't really understand the appeal of a local sorority or fraternity. I have always said I would rather join a GLO that was national, even if it was the "worst" on campus over a GLO that is local, even if it was the "best" on campus. I have my personal reasons but, I hope you get into your sorority-but, still keep the others in mind. Don't be too picky or you may be disappointed. Also, by you statement about it having to do with women all over, I'm thinking you mean "Heart Disease" and that makes it pretty easy to figure out what sorority you want to join. Good luck, though.
