I understand that the sorority commitment is a serious one, but the sister's participation in the sport may in fact bring accolades to the sorority. Do the sororities attempt to work with the new pledge if they participate in a varsity sport?

Bottom line, can the sports questions possibly put the pnm on the spot?

Unless you have a sorority full of girly-girls that would rather die then break a nail on the softball field (extreme example), they're probably going to look at it more from a prestige perspective. They know because Patty PNM plays varsity soccer, that she's probably not going to be around, but then again, they get to claim a soccer team member on their roster (especially if the soccer team happens to be state champions or something). Same with cheerleaders, dance team members (our dance team was about 1/4 of the same sorority), and girls who are constantly in pagents.
