Sorority Girl?

[LadyHornets2010]

Hi,
My name is Emmy and I am a high school senior. I am going to be attending college this fall and I'm thinking about joining a sorority. The reason why I want to join a sorority is because I like trying new things. Also, it feels like joining a sorority would help me make my first year away from my family a little more welcoming. Why a sorority? My family is not small is all that I can say =] I was wondering what does the sorority look at in order to decide whether or not you make it? Also, if I do make it, what will make a sorority life different from a regular college life?
Thank you.

As a former new member I can't believe that I am writing advice, but here goes:

Use the search function to see if there is any specific information about your college or university. Go to your university's Panhellenic site to learn about the sororities that your school has on campus. Look at each sorority's website to get a basic grasp of the houses. In general, look at the first threads on this site (i.e. What Not to Say) to answer general questions. Then come back for specific questions.

And in advance: Good luck and have fun!

(I can't believe that I know this now!)

EVery sorority has its own criteria for selecting members, which is private info.

This depends on the school you go to - its location, type and size - and the size and popularity of the Greek system. Every school is different.
