Re: Were you in a sorority/fraternity?
I was. DH wasn't. They didn't have any at his college but I don't think he'd have done it anyway. Though, I had sworn I would never, but then after my roommate pledged and through her I got to know a lot of the sisters, I ended up doing it and loving it. Went to my 10 year reunion a few weeks ago and saw soo many of the girls I knew then and it was awesome.

Nope, neither of us... if my college had them, I didn't even know they existed!

No and one of the reasons I chose my college was b/c they didn't have any.

Re: Were you in a sorority/fraternity?
I was.
My freshman year I swore I would never do that and was very dissinterested. Thought it was weird..but somehow in my 2nd semseter I tried at last minute and it was one of the best things I did in college.

i was the same way.. NEVER thought i'd ever do it- but it was one of the best college expereinces. And, now, it annoys me when people say 'i would NEVER do that, etc..." b/c i feel like they have no clue what theyre talking about- the same way my feelings really had no real basis except for what i had heard or seen on TV

I'm the opposite... I always thought it'd be great, tried it, and couldn't WAIT to get out. I mean...anyone who cares about how much I can funnel or whether or not I have acrylic nails can bite me.

true.... all sororities haev different personalities though. and its pointless to pledge if its with a bunch of people that have completely different interests than you--- if my sorority cared about acrylic nails... i wouldnt have lasted a minute with them

Re: Were you in a sorority/fraternity?
I did formal rush and didn't get a bid from a sorority I liked, but got one from one I really didn't want to be in, so I turned them down and joined a co-ed service fraternity and met a good friend who eventually introduced me to my DH. That good friend was our best man.

Re: Were you in a sorority/fraternity?
I always wanted to but never did. Leo had no intrest in it at all. I worked a lot too so had little spare time.
I loved all the steppers though at my college.

Re: Were you in a sorority/fraternity?
I THink everyone's experience is different but i really regretted joining one. For one, I was like some of you....i would never "pay" to have friends and i have my own friends i don't need anymore. I did it because some of the girls on my sports team did it and raved about the sorority. So i pledged for 10 weeks of pure hell. I'm sorry, all they kept saying was everything i was going through in pledging would make sense once i was in the sorority. Well lineups in the middle of night in mud and not allowing me to shower for a week never really got me to understand. THey went so far as to lock us in a basement at a fraternity house with the frats pledge class. I had enough and stormed out at 1am. To my surprise the frat guys were drinking and not one sorority sister was around. Nice....
After we were initiated i didn't wear my letters for weeks. I had no pride in it. After i came back that summer i enjoyed some of the mixers and parties, but i never went to the formals. I became assistant pledge mom the next semester to try and make the hazing a little less but could do nothing.
And probably my biggest issues was the talking about people. I literally got to a point where i was afraid to leave a room because if you got up and left the girls would start talking about you. It made me sick.
After i graduated (i was inactive my senior year) i stayed close to none of them. I heard a lot of them wound up being in each others wedding parties, but to me their friendships were very fake. I can only hope they learned how to make real ones after they got into the real world.
