Kollegkid- It is open parking on the row, but each house has its own parking lot. There is street sweeping on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings but other than that you are free to park wherever there is an open spot on the row.

It is much better than any other place off campus. At night you will see DPS at both ends and in the middle as well. However, this does not mean it is completely lacking in crime. There were a couple instances this year on the row. That being said, if you travel in groups (which you most likely will do at night) you should be fine.

so this has nothing to do with being greek, so here goes: I know alot of classes have like, a discussion, a lab, and a quiz to register for, but do each of these meet every week?? i cant imagine having a quiz for an hour every week for each class.

For science classes, the quiz only meets once or twice per semester. The lectures, labs, and discussions usually meet every time, except maybe the first lab and discussion.

It depends on the class, ex. general chemistry meets 6 times during the semester for tests + lab orientation, organic is more or less the same.

No, the lecture is multiple times a week every week, whereas the lab is typically twice a semester. It is usually a speaker event where you may or may not have to do a small assignment in response depending on your teacher's preference.

12layla12- Not really. However I would say the majority of pledge classes are freshmen and it might be harder to get into a house you really want. I mean there are no rules against sophomores (as opposed to juniors) but the par for the course is definitely rush as a freshman.
As far as guys go my house just took a pledge class with about 1/2 fresh and 1/2 soph and no juniors.

so juniors are not allowed, or rarely allowed ??
im transferring in, and i believe i'll have something like 45-50 credits, making me a sophomore... do you think i would have a decent shot? (i know this depends on the person, but assume that im your normal frat rushing guy) 
thanks

Juniors definitely can rush. Some houses will be more amenable to this than others.
They will have a few concerns that you’ll want to be prepared for: 1) they’ll wonder why you didn’t rush earlier (this is easy, since you were a transfer), 2) they’ll worry about whether you’ll be able to relate to your pledge brothers, who will be mostly freshmen and some sophomores, and 3) they’ll worry about whether you’ll be able to show respect to actives in the house who have more seniority than you, but might be younger in terms of age.
These are all things that you can demonstrate during rush. Just show that you’re able to interact well with other rushees, that you understand what’s involved in pledging a fraternity, and that you’re genuinely enthusiastic.
Also, if you’re a sophomore in terms of credits, just emphasize that and consider yourself a sophomore…

the top houses have no interest in how many credits you have. quite honestly. everyone can join a fraternity. Pretty much everyone on campus can get into TKE or ZBT or DCHI. its just all luck and a little looks if youre trying to get into EX or LXA or SAE. its kind a crapshoot.

Are there leadership opportunities within sororities such as government positions within chapters or other ways to get more involved and active in the sorority?
