Well, the nice thing about W&L is that rush isn’t until January, so you get a couple of months to actually meet sorority women, so you can make a decision based on people you know rather than hearsay. You will probably get asked on rush dates (basically brunch/breakfast/coffee etc with one or two sorority women and a few of your friends). Go on them. It’s a great way to meet girls outside of a party scene. Even if you decide Greek Life isn’t for you, it’s still a great way to meet upperclassmen. I’m still friends with the girls I rushed during fall term, even the ones who didn’t join my house or didn’t go through rush.

And if you decide it’s not for you, then hey. That’s fine, it’s not for everyone. But it’s not all about drinking, and since you’ll have a few months (at W&L) to decide, try to keep an open mind. I went into W&L thinking I wouldn’t rush, but I found a group of girls I loved and that really changed my mind (I’m also still friends with some of the older girls from other sororities that rushed me).
