Sorority Advice

by: newbie

Hey! I'm an incoming freshman at W&M and am debating rushing in the fall. The main reason I'd rush is to have a social life as well as events to make new friends at. I'm also considering pledging a D9 sorority but I know they don't party much and there are strict member rules, but I like their community involvement. If I'm looking to party once a week is that possible if I'm not in panhellenic Greek life? I know everyone says that you can join "academic clubs" that throw, but I'm worried about getting there in the beginning and not being in any groups yet. Thanks.

first of all if u don’t want any greek life involvement u can totally still go to many opens and stuff basically every weekend as long as ur a girl lol and also it’s super easy to get involved in MANY clubs that all have their own little party communities like sports clubs, (competitive ones And super chill ones) cultural clubs (they accept like anyone) and many others! u don’t need to rush to go out and make friends and have fun. But as a sorority girl lol i am SO glad i rushed because the girls i’ve met through it and in my sorority i couldn’t trade for the world but its up to what is best for u!

I definitely recommend for you to rush!! I wasn’t in a sorority my freshman year and I felt like the only people I knew were the people living in my hall, some people from my major/classes, and some people from clubs, but I felt like none of my friendships were very close. I also didn’t like how I was mostly only meeting people with the same major as me, which can ofc be good since you have shared interests, but I felt like it limited things. I rushed my sophomore year and it was the best decision I could have made. Now all of my best friends are people from different majors and with different interests who I would’ve been unlikely to meet outside of the sorority, but now I can’t imagine my life without them. To answer your question, I had a hard time finding people who wanted to go to parties my first year when I wasn’t in a sorority, so I didn’t go out very much. For me, being in a sorority made it much more fun to go out and gave me a lot more fun events to look forward to. This is just my experience though, and I know plenty of people have great social lives without a sorority, but as someone who’s very introverted I think I needed my sorority as a way to come out of my shell
