General Advice

Hi all! I'm rushing this fall at a large southern state school and had a quick question. My high school activities, while I had some cooler ones like student council, were mostly activities that are perceived as "dorky". I'm not a nerd, but I'm sure it sounds like I am from my recruitment application (and maybe rec letters, too).

I was curious as to if I'll be judged by the sororities because of this. I know that if a group doesn't accept me for things like that, then I don't want to be a part of that group and that sisters have many different interests and activities, but I'm curious. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

You'd be surprised how many sorority women were mathletes or in marching band in high school...

Not every PNM is a girl who was student council president, cheerleader or involved other perceived "cool kid activity." PNMs have a variety of activities and interests, and sororities know that. I wouldn't omit activities just because you don't think they're "cool ones."
