Thoughts on sorority life?

I agree with most above. Greek life can be positive and it can be negative. I have a boy who is a fraternity president and also has a gf in one of the larger sororities. She is pre-med and he is pre-vet and both have 4.0 averages. They also both attend parties, work on-campus jobs, and she volunteers at the hospital also. Yes they have 2-3 day get aways. For our school next weekend it is for formal. They also do have lots of parties but you can choose to participate or not in those.

One way to get a feel is to go
and see where her sorority falls GPA wise. (search Cal Greeks Academic Report (2017 seems the newest they have).

Setting a GPA is what we did. My son had no interest in Greek life until he got to college and see where he is now! We told him ok as long as his grades stayed above the 3.5 he needed for his scholarship. It has been very positive for both he and his gf. They have non-Greek friends but more Greek friends for now. Just educate her to be watchful just like she would be at any party, don’t drive to any parties or ride with anyone that has been drinking and enjoy all friends not just Greeks.
