Pitt is one of my top choices and I will definitely be rushing when it comes time (sophomore year, right?). I was wondering if many Asian Americans are in Pitt Panhel sororities. Asian Americans make up 6% of Pitt while Greek life make up 10% so I’m guessing the number of Asian Americans in Greek life are limited… Wondering if anyone has experience and if being Asian would be odd for Pitt’s Panhel?

Rather than joining a sorority, you might want to wait and join one of the pharmacy fraternities
@jumpingstar I’d second that suggestion. Starting your third year at Pitt, you’ll be exclusively in pharmacy classes and you’ll be working/studying with your fellow pharm students for the next four years. Except for her roommates, D1 didn’t really have much exposure to undergrads once she was in the pharmacy school in her third year. There are several pharmacy fraternities and other organizations that would allow you to have social and community involvement.
@jumpingstar-
My d is half filipino and is very interested in joining a sorority. Good question. After visiting, I think she got the feeling that it would not be a problem for Asian in sorority at Pitt.
@mommdc- any recommendations on sorority at Pitt for someone not in the Pharmacy program? Although my d got an invite for the Physician GAP program, I think she is not going to proceed as she does not feel ready to make the commitment at this time. Although she is definitely thinking of a future at Pitt medical school, she has not ruled out going to our state’s medical school. She will probably choose neuroscience as a major.

Sorry, I don’t know anything about greek life. Here is some info I found (above link).
Personally I would think a premed honors society or something focusing on academics and community service might be a better choice.
My understanding of the med GAP was that if your satisfy certain requirements you would have a spot in the Pitt medical school, not a commitment, but you might want to inquire about that.
