Now that I am at Baylor, should I go Greek? This is the question most girls ask themselves, especially since they will be finding out that many of the friends they have made will want to be in a sorority. I am here to say, it is not for everyone, but if it is something you are considering then definitely go for it!
In case you still can’t decide, let me give you the pros and cons of joining the Greek system. First off, Baylor is a pretty big campus, 13,000 students. Joining a sorority give girls a close group of friends that they know they can always rely on. If you are an out of state student it’s especially helpfully because you are meeting girls that you can go home with on the weekends or other girls from your state. It’s just one more way to feel connected.
Greek life is responsible for many of the events and activities on campus. The Greeks have their own formals, crushes, mixers and philanthropies. It is a way to serve the school, the community, and yourself. You’ll also have fun, and meet cute and “together” fraternity boys.
There are some other things that you must consider though. Being in a sorority is a huge time commitment, so if your major takes a lot of your time or your grades are struggling, then Greek life may not be for you. If you don’t want to be around that many girls all the time and sisterly bonding is not really your thing, then maybe a more “Spartan” life would be better for you.
Being in a sorority does not end with college however. These friendships can last a lifetime, and take place all around the world. A sorority is a great way to connect to people, and even to network in your future career.
Baylor may not have houses and hazing, but the Greek life is still very strong and highly recommended, if you enjoy serving and socializing. If you want to develop strong bonds with other girls, would enjoy the opportunity to do works of mercy with them, and network with girls who will be friends throughout your life, then the Greek life is for you.
