should i join a sorority?
by: Pnm?I really just want to find my place and my people if that makes sense. In high school, I never really found "my people" so to speak. I wasn't super unpopular and I had friends I'd hang out with but I just never felt like I connected with anyone. I always felt like they'd rather be with someone else and I really only had two friends I could actually open up to but even then I couldn't tell them everything. I was involved in clubs and theatre in school, and it seems like everyone else in my clubs found their place in them but I just never felt that way. I was thinking a sorority might be good for me because it seems to be based more on values and personality than just a common interest or skill. Obviously there's cuts for grades and looks but I think I'm pretty solid there (skinny white brunette nominated for Best Dressed superlative in my high school, 3.5 GPA). Not top, but I'm not super worried about it. What I am worried about is making friends within the sorority. I'm pretty shy and even though a sorority is based more on personality than other clubs I'm worried about cliqueyness in a group that size. Will I be able to find close friends?

yes just be super open to all the houses! take everything you read on this site with a grain of salt, people here have agendas. don't choose a house because they seem popular or because you heard rumors about another house (which based on your post I don't think you would do anyway) and you will wind up in a house you'll love!
Comment#2 by: rush!!!
reading your post reminds me of exactly how i felt in high school. i was very unsure of whether to rush, shy, and while i was friendly with lots of people, I only had like 3 close friends. I decided to rush just because bc i was looking for close friends and honestly the worst thing that could happen was just realize that sororities weren’t for me & drop. I am just finishing up my freshman year in a sorority and i couldn’t be happier. i found my “people” and love the house i’m in. my advice would just to go into it with an open mind, disregard all the “ranks” (they don’t matter !!!) and look for a house where you feel at home in. don’t worry about rush too much in the summer, it will all work out !!!

And, just because you're shy, practice conversation skills. A great place to work on those would be as you ask for recs. Most of my rec writers met with me for coffee so we could discuss sorority life and for her to get to know me. Honestly, these coffee get-togethers helped me so much during recruitment.
