@collegeready33 I’m in a fraternity so I probably can’t give you an extremely specific description of sorority life at UNC, but I’ll tell you what I know from my friends and experiences. Sorority and greek life in general at UNC is great, and all of the girls I know in sororities absolutely love it. It’s a great way to meet new people, whether it be through mixers (sororities and fraternities having themed parties together, “mixing” the fraternity and sorority members together), cocktails (date parties, often themed), fraternity parties, etc. Most of the sorority girls here hang out mostly with girls in their pledge class, but friend groups are not limited to your sorority/fraternity. However, rush, specifically girl’s rush, is a very rigorous and stressful process here at UNC, not gonna lie. A lot of girls are disheartened because they got cut by a top house, but that’s expected if you’re not a legacy, don’t come from a “feeder” high school, don’t know people in that house, or aren’t wealthy. It kind of sucks but that’s the way it is. My best advice for rush is to not let it get you down and to see it through because you ultimately end up in the house you belong in, and you’ll love it.

As for my favorite part about UNC, I love the combination and balance of everything here. You have renowned and challenging academics, fun party atmosphere, great college town, incredible athletic program, beautiful campus, great greek life, etc. You’re never bored here and it provides, in my opinion, the perfect college experience.
