I looked at some other articles on this site, and while the content was good, using "rush" interchangeably with Recruitment and using "pledging" just made me cringe. These words are what help to keep some of the negative stereotypes going, so it's great to see someone else use correct terms.<br /><br />I also love the commentary on drinking and partying. My sorority house does not allow men in our room or alcohol in the house at all. When people ask if we have huge parties and I tell them the rules, they look at me like I am insane! They have no idea that these rules are there to help us live our values and reach our chapter's ideal vision!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863016916333258425.post-44663718144608709812011-07-26T20:54:34.937-04:002011-07-26T20:54:34.937-04:00Yes, Becky is so right.

If you have a personal circumstance or situation, your sorority is going to be willing to work with you on an individual level. Make sure that when you are going through recruitment, you ask each house what their dues are and if they have payment plans.<br /><br />Good luck!<br />MarysaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863016916333258425.post-43418268065933160802011-07-25T22:46:06.729-04:002011-07-25T22:46:06.729-04:00I'm a sorority alumna and I'm happy to ans...I'm a sorority alumna and I'm happy to answer your question about dues. All sororities are a little different, but in my experience, having a payment plan to pay your dues is quite common. If you aren't able to pay the full semester's dues right away at the beginning of the semester, you have the option to talk with your chapter's Treasurer and set up a personalized payment plan. Even if the costs seem steep, I can assure you that it's totally worth it! My sorority experience has impacted me in every area of my life and I can't imagine my life without it!Becky Snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863016916333258425.post-7571692125619330122011-07-22T22:09:54.865-04:002011-07-22T22:09:54.865-04:00This is more of a question rather than a comment. ...This is more of a question rather than a comment. My parents are fine with me joining a sorority, but they (as well as I) know I will not be able to afford it(I saw the membership dues for sororities at my university online). Do sororities have payment plans or a way for me to pay it off in extended time?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863016916333258425.post-15981322346371412582011-07-19T21:43:53.224-04:002011-07-19T21:43:53.224-04:00This article is so right, I never thought I would ...This article is so right, I never thought I would join a sorority but when I transferred second semester sophomore year I decided if I was brave enough to transfer I was brave enough to pledge. I have made such close friends and have had opportunities both educational and career wise that I would have never been able to do without my sorority. My leadership skills have developed ten fold and I know without the experience in my sorority I would have never landed the internships I have.
