My daughter is in her 5th year at Bama (she’s a grad student now) and she did not join a sorority. She had and has a perfectly fine social life, has made many friends and participated in various activities. She did join a professional fraternity. There are certainly Greek activities she could not participate in, but there were more than enough other activities to keep her happy and busy. I know a number of girls at Bama, some of whom are in sororities and others who are not. I know girls who joined sororities and then dropped out. I know girls who didn’t go through recruitment freshman year and then joined a sorority as sophomores. All seem to be happy with their choices. It’s a big school with a geographically diverse student body, and I don’t think you need to be Greek to have a good experience.
