Should I join now or wait?

Wow, I just wrote a response to each of you and somehow it didn't post. To all it is a song and I didn't realise it resembled a marquise cut. My mother's sorority is 1 of 4 not at U. Mem's campus and similar to your friends my parents would prefer the U. Tenn degree for job oppertunites and such. BeeBee23, I love you and your outlook on everything! I personally want to be an ADPi but I do get my mom wanting her only daughter to be like her. I can't remember the rest of what I wrote but thank you all!

Sorry, but your mom wanting you to be like her =/= good advice. Good advice is advice that puts you and what you want out of your college experience first, even if it isn't what your mom would have chosen.

I honestly think joining is easier now because so many girls go to college and even in the late 70s women wanting to show what they could do. I know recommendation letters are still a must at Tennessee but girls try to focus on each other more than what my mom had to go through especially with the WWII widow house mother. I am sure about a quota for upperclass women just a usual quota of around 50.

When my mom went through it was few and far between with girls that had parents that would pay for extra curricular activities or girls that would work and balance school so it was more of a tradition that relied on the letters and how many girls you are related to that were part of it. (Don't get me wrong it is still very traditional but I think things are changing). You should hear my mom's stories, they would have a bunch of widows live in the houses so they had something to do. No staying out past 10 and rarely wearing jeans and the list goes on and on about fashion assessories the 1940's woman wore.

I would fully plan on going to ADPi to be with friends my age and some older. There isn't much to do in school besides go to class and I was very involved in highschool so I don't want that to end.

Question for VioletPretty, have you heard anything about Sigma Kappa here? I know several girls and just want to hear what you think the difference between this chapter and yours might be and do you consider yourself northern, southern, or midatlantic?
