Most students begin choosing a university they want to attend the summer before their senior year in high school. It is really important to begin researching and applying to colleges early on so that you will have all the decisions made when it comes time to apply in the fall. It is important to apply early because if you wait too long there may not be any spots left. So, here are a few things you will want to consider when it comes to choosing a college.
Academics
The biggest reason for kids to go to college is to get an education. So, the first thing you should focus on when it comes to choosing a college is the academics. Remember, that some colleges are known for their science programs while others are known for engineering, medicine, law, and others. Determine more or less what you want to major in and then choose a college based on this. It is important to make a list of your top three majors so that you look for a school that is good at all of these. The reason why is most college kids change their majors several times and you never know when you begin where you will end up!
Extracurricular Activities
You want to have fun while you aren’t studying, so it is important to find a college that has a great selection of extracurricular activities. This includes political clubs, intramural sports, and more. You want to have fun while at college and foster new ideas and friends. Extracurricular activities are a great way to do this. Plus, you can explore things you like in a safe setting. For example, you could join the Young Republicans or Young Democrats club. Join a sorority or fraternity, or play a sport! There should be a lot of options open to you so that you can make the best decisions for your college years.
Cost
Another thing you will want to look at when choosing a college is cost. Public institutions cost less than private ones, and generally a lot less. You could probably even cover your tuition at a public institution on your student credit card if you didn’t have any other funds. But, that is never the case with private colleges. They cost $20,000 or more per year and when you add up four years of college, not to mention post graduate studies, you are looking at some major debt. So, if there is a public institution that rivals a private one, then consider the cheaper option. You will find your student credit card limit goes a lot further when your semester’s tuition is only a couple thousand dollars.
Ranking
School ranking is also important. You want to go to the best school you can get into so you get the best education. That means you need to evaluate the schools you are interested in and see where they are ranked. Doing this will help you choose the best schools to apply to.

The University of Arizona has a large greek system. I believe there are 14 NPC sororities. In my experience, recommendation letters are not absolutely necessary, but if there is a house that you really and they tend to be selective, it would help to have one. My recs were written by sorority alumni at church and "friends of friends." Ask around now, you'd be surprised how many of your friends moms were Greek in college.
Other things that will help you get into a sorority…
1) High GPA…make sure it is above a 3.0.
2) Extra-curricular involvement is a huge plus. Don't go overboard and join everything just to put it on your rush application, but dedicated service to a few organizations in high school shows that you will be dedicated to your sorority.
3) Keep a clean image. Meaning, make sure your facebook/myspace profile isn't full of pictures of you drinking, making out, etc. Several girls were released from rush at my school this year because of their online persona's. Try not to do anything wild and crazy that might come back to haunt you. You'd be amazed at what a small world it is.
4) Keep an open mind during rush week.
It is awesome that you are planning your greek experience so early. I wish you the BEST of luck and hope your sorority experience will be wonderful.
I'm in a panhellenic sorority but I can tell you that over the years, my chapter has built a good academic reputation because our sisters have good relationships with the faculty and staff. As a result, the faculty and staff will point quality women to us.
How many members do you have?
Incredible! He looks so life like. Just amazing…and what a beautiful subject
Formal recruitment is very structured. You would be put in a group and have a Rho Gamma or Rho Chi (Recruitment Guide/Counselor), who is someone you can ask questions to about the whole process. Since you're in a group, you won't be alone, so it's okay that your friends won't be there (none of my friends wanted to go through recruitment either!). You'll be separated most likely anyway once you go in, so it really doesn't help much to have friends in your group. It also sometimes complicates things if they want to end up in the same sorority, so you won't have to deal with that. The first round of recruitment, you'll visit all the chapters. After each round you rank the sororities, and each round you visit less and less, ending with 2 or 3 on preference night. You'll rank those again (not just pick one!), and on bid day you find out where you got a bid to. Almost everyone gets a bid from somewhere during formal recruitment, so don't worry about that! There is a set quota of how many bids the chapters can give out, so they are usually a little more selective than they would be during informal because there are usually so many qualified girls looking to join. But don't worry about that. If they don't give you a bid, I'm sure another chapter will, and you might have been happier there all along! The process pretty much always seems to work out and have people end up where they belong.
It seems like you might be talking about informal recruitment though. That's very unstructured, and you just go to whatever chapters you want that are having recruitment events. Since you already know which chapter you're interested in, you could go straight to them (but I think it's a good idea to meet a few other chapters, because you never know. You might be happier in a different one). It's definitely okay to go alone. It will show that you have initiative. In informal, a lot of people do come with friends, but they get separated most of the time anyway. About selectiveness, that varies from sorority to sorority. if they are bigger and only have a few spots open (if they are at ceiling, they can't even do informal recruitment) they will be more selective. But, even smaller ones don't give bids to "just anybody." They look at your GPA, involvement on campus or in high school, community service, if you seem to get along with everyone, etc.
It's okay that you're shy (I was so shy too!) but just try to be friendly and answer questions enthusiastically, and more than a few word answers. Also ask questions, which will make you seem less shy. Ask about whatever you're interested, like philanthropies, sisterhoods, socials, whatever. Don't be nervous, just be yourself and have fun!
Excellent work. Pleasure to watch. Perfect music

Great talent Der Mann.
whoa!!it looks like a PICTURE!
ur an amazing painter!:D
There are no actual brothel laws ANYWHERE. Anyone who says there are, is just repeating old rumors. See source.
There are no brothel laws at Penn State, but there are zoning restrictions on land. From The Collegian archive; http://www.collegian.psu.edu/archive/2003/10/10-07-03tdc/10-07-03dnews-01.asp
Talk to your house corporation board, they will know if there is any way for you to get official sorority housing. If you getting a house would make you the only sorority with a house, Panhellenic will have a problem with it. Dues will go up if you get a house.
To circumvent all the issues (and get a house quickly) have a few sisters get together and rent a house. Work around the zoning restrictions. You won't get the official sorority house designation, but you can hold sisterhood events there.
Why don't YOU know? She's your mother after all.

Good Evening,
A sorority is an organization that is put together for like minded women to interact and socialize through. There are LOTS of sororities and all have been formed for different reasons. Some sororities (sisterhoods) are 100% social and only serve the purpose of having that socializing during their college years. There are several that are founded for the purpose of community service. There are those that are professional, music based, educational excellence and so on. To get some specifics on what various sororities do you might want to visit some of their organizations national webpages. Here are a few:
http://www.AKA1908.com
http://www.deltasigmatheta.org
http://www.deltazeta.com
http://www.gammadeltaphisorority.com
http://www.kappadelta.org
http://www.zphib1920.org
Where men are concerned, the organizations are called Fraternities, not sororities. Brotherhoods, not sisterhoods. Here are a few of their webpages:
http://www.alpha-phi-alpha.com
http://www.oppf.org
http://www.kappaalphapsi1911.com
Feel free to do some investigating and get more information on any of these organizations. People join for the purposes of sister and brotherhood, some of them are life-long memberships affording plenty of networking opportunities. People join our organizations for an endless reasons…a sense of family away from their birth family….as I said, there are lots of reasons that people join our ranks.
She copy your id# from your Stats Profile, and post it on the Live Broadcast Board and got her Sisters to paste your id# on the url to go to your Stats Profile and attacked you.
You’re really good man. You’ve got excellent talent.
There are not many relationships from high school that survive a high school/college split so if it doesn't work, it won't have anything to do with a sorority.
Sororities do not have an exclusive on alcoholics or binge drinking; it happens at every school regardless of any club or sports affiliation. However, at almost any school, the all sorority women GPA is almost inevitably higher than all non-sorority women GPA. As much fun as sororities seem, there is a huge emphasis on scholarship.
You do not have to break up with your boyfriend when you join a sorority, just like you don't have to break up with your boyfriend when you move into a dorm. However, the odds are that the two of you will break up.
visit http://www.npc.org for more general information about sororities.
It has been a while since I visited UT-K but I can tell you this: you will get out of it what you put into it. If all you're looking for is the social aspect then that is likely all the experience will be for you. If you are a great friend already then you'll make new great friendships in your sorority. Yes, there will inevitably be some wild parties- it's college. Even if you went to a school with no fraternities or sororities there would be wild parties.
Enroll in formal recruitment and go through the process with an open mind and you'll end up in the best sorority for you. Keep in mind that a sorority's reputation can rapidly change- seniors are graduating soon, some people will transfer to other schools, and then the next freshmen class will mean that any given sorority will be very different by October 1st from what they are now.
http://www.npcwomen.org gives you some good info on sororities in general.
Nice work, you did pretty good.
