Is Colony Recruitment Worth It?

[DubaiSis]

Something to consider: for the vast majority of sorority women, their collegiate membership period is not just positive but really enhances their college experience. While your mother has a very negative opinion about sorority life, that may well change as she sees your leadership skills improve, your base of friends get larger and more diverse, your time management abilities get even better than they are now, etc. I of course can't tell you she'll come around, but she wouldn't be the first person to have her mind changed when reality confronts stereotype.

To answer your question about competitiveness, it can be VERY competitive to get into a colony. But in your favor, the sorority will want girls from all 4 years of undergrad, but most of the girls who express interest will be freshmen and sophomores. In other words, possibly less competitive for juniors and seniors.
