I’m a current sophomore non Greek! I am more than happy to answer any specific questions about managing while not being in Greek life. My advice to any incoming freshman is if any part of you wants to be involved, go through rush. At the end you don’t have to accept the bid. But you get a taste of what Greek life is. I regret not rushing but I don’t regret not being in Greek life. I have a nice group of friends who are all very successful whether Greek or not. There are also some wonderful alternatives to the traditional sororities like the Christian sorority. They are an amazing bunch of girls. I rushed the Christian sorority and pledged but ended up not finishing the process. I am hoping to go back but I’m at the point where I’m perfectly happy without being Greek. There is upsides and downsides like everything. But if your daughter doesn’t rush and later regrets it, she can always rush the next semester. But if she does attend Alabama and doesn’t rush, I suggest attending camp 1831 or Alabama/Outdoor Action. I made tons of friends in both of these. I admittedly was discouraged freshman year when all the Greeks had friends and I had acquiantances. However I learned friendships take time. If you’d like to PM me anything specific, I’d love to help (:
