No. It doesn't work that way.

Unless you have a GUARANTEE that you will have a way to get back and forth to required meetings and activities, and be prompt when you do, you are wasting your time and everyone else's time by rushing. Not to mention that being the girl constantly asking for rides will get hella old hella quick.

And yet you asked us, instead of your 'friend.'

Also they may not be rude, but apparently riding the bus at night = death.

Hi, the partying isn't mandatory, but i find that some sororities peer pressure you into partying, mine sure does. if you're really worried get a feeling for this during rush, not all sororities are party sororities. some are.

there are lots of mandatory events, at all times of the day. in my chapter you HAVE to go to weekly meetings, death or illness being the ONLY excuses. then you have additional mandatory meetings weekly if you are involved in any committees, and lots of mandatory events you must attend in order for the sorority to stay accredited. it is a big commitment and you should be ready for one before joining.

We have cars here. We don't beg people for rides like street bums.

Either make peace with the bus, or ensure that you will be able to have a car at your disposal - but do it BEFORE you accept a bid. It's not anyone's responsibility but yours to get to sorority activities, and if you can't find a way to do that, DON'T RUSH.
