Titchou: you're not being snarky. I went off topic (derailed the thread to talk about my own interest), which is what I have been doing too much of, of late! My fellow SLP pointed out that she wasn't addressing the OP's junior status with regard to recruitment.

I got all wound up about Speech Pathology. I woke up at 1:00 a.m., because there was a mockingbird singing in my tree. He sang until after 3:00 a.m. I think it is wise for me to step away from the keyboard in the middle of the night.

Focus: Blondie93 and I were both double majors, one being CSD. So yes, it's possible to complete two majors and also be an active in a sorority. However, I was not the President; I was involved in activities related to my majors, which helped my graduate school applications, and focused on getting a high GPA.

I also double majored in college (1 very difficult major and 1 not so much but time consuming). I found being in the sorority actually helped me balance my work and life because I had to be organized and learn about time management. I had to make time for studying and still make time for fun. I was never president but I was an officer. The leadership experiences have helped me in my graduate applications and professional life. I actually started advising while in grad school, because I worked with a lot of men and it was good to help out with the girls.

Wow it's good to see someone else saying being in a sorority actually helped. I am researching the major a lot and i plan on speaking to a speech pathologist and just seeing the environment so i can say for sure if i want to do this.
