drinking

There will be girls who don't drink almost everywhere but not many in some chapters. I think you might be in a very small minority and made to feel that way at :

Zeta, aphi, kd, Kappa, and a little but at Pi phi and phi Mu.

Just wouldn't have as many people to hang out with and some probably wouldn't make you feel as welcome tbh.

Honestly, you'll probably have the hardest time in Alpha Phi, Zeta, and KD. APhi and ZTA are huge party houses... Are there girls in those houses who don't go out every other night? Yes... But it may be extremely hard to find girls who don't drink at all. And because of that, there's going to be peer pressure. You're going to be pressured to drink even if you clearly state you don't want to. No hate to any of these three houses, but these houses are the ones that stand out to me the most in terms of constant partying.

The houses I think you may find more girls who don't drink too much/aren't big partiers is AXO and AGD. I think both houses have lots of girls who are more open minded about abstaining from drinking.

But honestly, don't rush just based off of this one aspect. EVERY house has girls who blackout on Monday nights... No matter which house you end up in, you'll find your group that supports you.

I was going to make a new thread to ask a related question, but since a fellow PNM posted this, I'll just pile on.

I don't drink as well, although I am always down to have a good time and could care less if the people around me are getting wasted. I survived high school with lots of friends, boyfriends and parties without drinking, and I plan to continue that. Personal choice, no judgements.

My question is, what happens at Swaps? It sounds like they are pretty much about getting drunk, but I'm assuming that I won't have to? I read about one theme where the guy and girl are tied together until they finish a bottle of some sort of alcohol. I'm assuming I can be a den mom or do something else that night, because it seems awfully unfair to that poor guy who will have to finish that bottle alone.

I didn't drink at all freshman year. The key is to go to swaps with a large party cup full of your drink (diet or whatever). People will ask what you are drinking, and you can tell them, or you can lie and say it's a mixed drink. Either way, I found that people left me alone if I had a cup in my hand.
