Is it possible to be in a sorority while double majoring

And the answer is certainly, because if you are apart from it you would have nothing to do do with it. However, if you want to be a part of one, that's a different story altogether.

Im sure they understood what i meant considering i didn't say "apart from"..instead i said "apart of" meaning together even though i meant to separate apart to "a part".. They didnt respond with that thought, they understood exactly what i meant and continued on to let me know that it was possible and that it is hard. And some continued to let me know that being A PART of the sorority even helped them..so they didn't find any misconception of my typo since they seemed to answer the question correctly. The only misconception on this thread was the assumption that my grades were not good because i said i don't consider myself smart. But sorry for your confusion. You didn't quite answer my question so if you'd like to do so rather than comment on a silly typo that would be great! Thanks in advance

Typos are not silly when all you have for someone to go on is what you type. "Teh" is a typo. "A part" and "apart" have two completely different meanings. If you don't bother to check what you write, it leads people to assume that you don't bother to check the details of anything else you pursue in life as well.

I would understand it being an issue if other people on this thread posting saw confusion in it..but they didn't so i didn't see what the big deal is...Thats a huge assumption to compare it to not checking the details of anything i purse in life lol. I can assure you the papers i write dont contain those typos. I didn't commit a crime i just wasn't paying attention as i wrote it. I can be a fast typer. Like when i say the word "write" i sometimes write "right" because im just not paying attention online. Stuff happens. Its kind of crazy for this to be over thought and the little mistake i made to be made into a big deal. But i understand that is some people's opinion. now i'd like to stay back on topic if you don't mind since this is getting off topic.

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.

That's great!

Again, it is an indication of both your character and good manners to respectfully address people from whom you're seeking advice. Part of that respect is the use of proper grammar. You've now told everyone here that they don't really matter to you, you're simply here to use them. Good luck with your quest to be apart from a sorority.

Lmao considering I never said "apart from" and I said "apart of" I will leave it to you to use your common sense like I did with AlphaFrog's typo. I also never saw it as disrespectful to make typos or not capitalize something online, but I will now take it into consideration. Thank you.
