I'm also a sophomore at UGA. Something else you could do is to follow the sororities on social media. I know for my sorority we look at the girls that are following us beforehand because it shows interest in our sorority. So those girls already have our attention before rush even starts. However, only do this if your profiles are clean. If not it could end up hurting you. Also, go in with an open mind about every sorority and rush in general. The girls that had the most houses to return to were girls who had a really carefree attitude. If they didn't get invited back to certain houses or if they were to get released they were totally okay with it. If you're stressed out and trying to be perfect, it shows. Remember ALL of the 17 sororities at UGA are perfect and it's really just a personality difference between them. If those aren't for you then DPhiE is colonizing after formal recruitment. From being on the other side I can promise you we are just as nervous as you are. We've been preparing since January, and we are SO excited to meet all of you!!

I believe I'd switch out "perfect" for "great". I'd hate for new members to go into the Greek experience thinking that every day, every interaction will be perfect because life's not that way. We get a lot of new members coming to us in the fall because their bigs aren't with them 24/7 or they feel left out in the sorority or--I could go on forever. I warned my daughters that Greek life wouldn't be perfect but then again no club ever is.
