Sounds like you're very busy, but on the right track to being well rounded. Some words of advice from a former hs newspaper editor, softball/track/basketball player, and a bunch of other activities at some point in time...only do those activities that you truly enjoy, (I learned this the hard way) and you'll be better off in the long run. I started out participating in way too many activities, and as the years progressed I became just a "member" in so many, and looking back I feel like I really didn't get an experience from them. So basically figure out what activities you truly love, and become very involved in them. It looks a lot better to be cheerleading captain and newspaper editor than just a participant in 10 activities like cheerleading, play, class vp, etc. etc. Plus you'll probably get more out of your experience if you're really involved in it. The more time you put into something, usually the more you care about it (and that will show through when you're talking about your activities during recruitment...plus it will show that you have the capacity to be a good member, sororities want active members that will care about the org, not just someone who wears the letters). Hopefully you don't burn out, since as you get older all of these activites will take up more time! I was very close...if there was 1 more week of school senior year I probably would have had a breakdown
!
Just make sure you're participating in these activities because you truly like them, and not just because it will look good on scholarship/admissions/sorority apps. Once it's all over what really matters is your own personal experience and memories you have from the activites, since once you're in college and after no one really cares what you did in high school (with recruitment and if it randomly comes up in conversation as exceptions). It's good that you're looking toward the future, but enjoy high school while you're there...college and sorority life will come soon enough.
