    I hope everyone has been staying healthy and safe! We will get through this!♡
    I am in Alpha Omicron Pi at Cal Poly Slo, but I tried to make this video general to all sororities so it could eliminate any bias. Being in a sorority has been a great decision for me but I understand that sororities are not for everybody. I just wanted to address some questions I had been getting.

    • @SammiNicole
      @SammiNicole  Před 2 lety

      Hi! Aw thank you ☺️ I think joining a sorority can be a great way to make friends. I do think your experience depends on the school because some sororities support more freshman/sophomores to join since they’ll have several years to make friends etc. I don’t think that should push you away from rushing (I’ve known a decent amount of juniors join!) , but keep it in mind since you’d only get 1-2 years in the sorority. It’d be helpful to reach out to specific sororities at your school to see if this is more common than you think.

Rush and recruitment are the same thing. Pledges and PNM‘s are also the same thing. PNM stands for potential new member. it is interesting that not much has changed in 50 years!

    • @SammiNicole
      @SammiNicole  Před 4 lety +12

      They aren’t dumb questions! I was confused too! Girls tended to wear dresses most of rush at my school and they got fancier throughout the week. I’d recommend watching a rush outfit video - I have one on my channel! Questions girls may ask might be why you want to join a sorority, what you were involved in during high school, hobbies/interests, etc. I wouldn’t worry about the questions tho because it’s the active members job to help guide your convo so you’ll never have to do this! Just answer honestly

I have not decided where to go or really even what I want to be when I grow up, lol. I've just started researching College life but my sister told me I should join a sorority. I've poked around today and read a lot and this is going to sound really funny, but I'm not really a girly girl and was just wondering if I would fit in to Greek life. Thanks and I enjoyed your video and will watch others.

      No problem! During the rush process girls generally wear dresses, skirts, rompers, but if that’s not for you then don’t! I would just dress to show your personality. If you decide the process is weird or being in a sorority is too girly for you that is totally fine too. It’s just hard for me to say because every school is different.

      My pledge class was around 70 girls. It varies per year. My chapter has around 200 girls. It took me a bit to remember everyone’s name but going to events and making an effort to meet people will make it so much easier. I also love that because we are constantly getting new girls I keep getting to meet new people. There’s still some girls I haven’t hung out with yet but that’s what makes a sorority so cool

      Hi! Yes! You’re definitely able to be in more things than just a sorority. You get out what you put in so whether that’s most of your time or some, it’s really up to you. Sororities typically encourage being very involved on campus outside of Greek life

    As I'm finishing up my application and about to submit the documents, I became curious as to why different organizations ask for unofficial and official transcripts? Is it because some are national organizations? The sorority I'm interested falls under the MGC. Why can’t they check our gpa with the registrar’s office? Is the sole purpose of providing transcripts is to verify that oneself is on good academic standing gpa wise? Do they confirm their admission that our transcripts are real?

      You may need to take off work during recruitment because the days are long but while you’re in a sorority you can definitely manage work with it if you plan your time out well. Most girls in my sorority work! You may miss stuff every so often but for the most part you know early in advance when things are happening so you can plan accordingly

    • @SammiNicole
      @SammiNicole  Před 3 lety +2

      Great question!! If it’s in person your rush group will stand outside the house and one by one the sorority girls will come pick you up from the line. Then you’ll either go into the house to have a conversation or the backyard and typically sit at tables near other girls going through recruitment. You’ll have a conversation with 1-3ish active sorority members that round. The active members make it super easy for the PNM so don’t worry! Hope to have in person this fall🤞🏼
