<p>Is it impractical to go for a Greek house if doing TO? </p>
<p>Do many TO students join fraternities and sororities?</p>
<p>I wouldn’t think it’s impractical, but that depends on your ability to juggle school and social commitments. TO is famous for requiring a lot of reading (a typical book list for my son’s classes ran 12-15 books!!) and frequent writing assignments. It’s also very important to attend classes because they are small and discussion-based. But everyone in TO has a social life and outside activities, whether it’s based in the Greek system or in the dorms. So there’s definitely time to live that life and also do TO.</p>
<p>There are a ton Greeks who are in TO.</p>
<p>Many of the students from SC say they “Work hard—play hard”. So much of being active in any social group is time management. Many students in difficult majors balance Greek life and keep a high GPA. Self discipline, hard work and focus are needed.
I know each sorority has a scholarship chairman. All the NPC groups’ grades are above the all women’s average. Chapters want members to do well scholastically.
One chapter had 44 women fall semester who had a 3.75 GPA or better.</p>
<p>just wondering… which chapter was it that “had 44 women fall semester who had a 3.75 GPA or better”?</p>
<p>Go to the Panhellenic site. All the chapters have websites. Many of them list their scholarship programs. One chapter listed the names of women who had achieved that GPA fall semester.<br>
My post was not to point out one chapter, but to show individuals can balance Greek life and make good grades.</p>
