"  Joining a sorority definitely has its benefits. You always have a group of girls to hang out with and there&amp;#039;s no shortage of formals to attend. The life-long connections are invaluable, especially the first few years after you graduate college. But should you rush right away or wait until sophomore year? Contrary to the hair-flipping, ditsy stereotype, most sororities require that members maintain a competitive GPA. However, between 20-page papers, pledge duties and adjusting from to college, there will be barely time for other activities. You don&amp;#039;t want to stretch yourself too thin. Most members of Greek life don&amp;#039;t recommend joining freshman year. The first two semesters of college life are all about keeping your options open and exploring a variety of clubs and social circles. Who knows, you might fall in love with tossing tennis balls in the air at the Juggler&amp;#039;s Meetup or decide that starting your own club is the way to go. If you&amp;#039;re set on going Greek but not sure which sorority you&amp;#039;ll fit in best, be a sleuth. Get the lowdown from current sisters about their organization long before rush season. Observe them at parties and charity events. Google away. Being part of a sisterhood is a major social and financial commitment but bit of research will go a long way.
