Formal Recruitment Questions.

[pinksequins]

Southernbell, I want to jump in before others do on academics. The writing displayed in your post suggests that college may be a bigger transition for you than you anticipate. Your English and grammar skills appear to be far from what will be expected at the college level. This means that you may need to focus a bit more on studies than you might anticipate in lieu of demanding extracurricular activities. Do give the matter a bit of thought. That said, you may still wish to go through recruitment, and freshman year (particularly at Southern schools) is optimal for opportunities to join. I'll leave the specific questions to other GCers.

I did not write this, because I don’t want to seem like I am bragging. While in middle school and high school. I was an All Star cheerleader, national figure skater, state and national pageant queen, volunteer to many local charities in my town, going to school dances and football games with my friends at their school and then doing well in school. I was apart of an online school, so I was just like everyone else, just no classroom and no one else. I also took two college classes at a community college, where I did pass with a 3.5. I understand college will be harder, I already had a taste of it, I also understand the obligations of the sorority. But like DeltaBetaBaby said, it will provide structure. I need a group of girlfriends again, and to be apart of something greater then my self. So hopefully I will have the privilege of being apart of a sorority.

I would have waited for spring recruitment, but my school only has fall recruitment. Thank you for your advice it was very helpful, and I will watch my grammar, just sometimes when I am not writing anything that will be graded I am lazy about it, it is a bad habit! lol. Thank you!

"A part". Two words. To say that you're "apart" from something means that you're separated from it. To be "a part of" is to be included as a piece of a whole (i.e. to be a member of a group or organization).

Sorry! It's a pet peeve of mine, and of many other posters here!

Good luck!

Thank you, I have been working on my grammar over the last few weeks. Its still not the best, but I know it will get better with time. It is fine when people correct me, it just reminds me what I still need to fix!

My advice: Don't wear an all-pink outfit with pink hose that have pink rhinestones/sequins going up the back. That never works out well.

I frequently read this argument here on GC. The point is that you should be able to communicate effectively, even in informal situations. I think I figured out what you meant in the following sentence, but it shouldn't take someone reading it 3 or 4 times to understand your point:

Good luck to you.
