I'm a junior in high school and I realize that soon, I will have to go to college soon. I really want to join a sorority but I have no idea how to and what they do. How do I find out about them? What do I have to do? What do sororities do exactly? Thanks for answering..I rate.

Technicalities aside, let me tell you about sororities. They are social clubs of a bunch of girls. In order to be recognized by the university, they have to fill certain requirements, one of which being community service. (So expect to do something like, pick up trash on the side of the highway.) And in order to join one, you have to pledge. (Which, in some cases, such as the fraternity house two doors down from my house, includes an ungodly amount of drinking, memorization, hazing, and embarrassment. It was fun to watch, though.) Hazing has been outlawed for years now, but it's sometimes still around.
Being part of a sorority means going to a lot of social functions. Expect a lot of parties, banquets, and the like. It's mainly a way of getting to know a bunch of people, and gives you something to do on weekends. It's all part of the college experience: Getting drunk and fucking strangers. Wait, I mean, getting close with a few people while you obtain higher learning...yeah, that's what I meant. [ K3587's advice column | Ask K3587 A Question ]
