Reasons NOT to pledge a sorority?

[allykm]

I am a senior in high school on the West Coast, and know very very few sorority women. However, I will be attending a very competitive SEC school next year, and I'm trying to weigh the pros and cons of going through recruitment and potentially pledging a sorority.

What is sorority life REALLY like? I've read countless stories and threads about the amazing benefits of being part of a sisterhood and the opportunities, but what are the pitfalls?

I might be touching on a sensitive subject, I don't know, but I value what the people on this board think are negatives more than a GDI who simply resents the greek system. Thank you!
