If you are a guy you join a fraternity. If you are a girl you join a sorority. They are either a huge or small part of your school. Greek life is biggest in SEC, PAC-12, and Big 10 schools.

IFC frats are the “stereotypical” social frats. I personally think those are the best because they have the same networking if not stronger networking opportunities as professional frats, have houses, and are well established nationally. Professional frats are most like intense clubs. Multicultural frats are exactly that- culture based. Similar story for sororities. Rush usually happens in the fall and spring. It’s a no commitment process so it doesn’t hurt to check it out. Make sure if you decide to pledge (accept a bid) that you really want to do it because it’s a big commitment and can be expensive.
