minors/sororities Ok, I have two questions about college. One, can you do anything with a minor? If not, then what is the purpose?
Two: If you pledge a sorority and are accepted, then does that mean you HAVE to live in its house??

Yeah, you can. A minor is usually a backup [in my opinion] so that if your major falls through, you've still got something you like that you can study.
I'm not exactly sure, but you can ask. ]
a minor in college is your second concentration that either gives your major focus (ie. business major with an art minor would be a good person to own a gallery) or is a second area you're interested in in a lesser way from your major that you still want to study in-depth (math major with a minor in dance). you usually need fewer credits for a minor than you would with your major. whether or not you do anything depends on yourself.
as for sororities, if you pledge and are accepted and have a high enough GPA and there's room in the house, you will be pulled in. in some schools, you have to go through a semester or a year of living in the dorms before you can be in a sorority house and some sororities have different national rules about living in the houses. local sororities that don't have houses won't pull you in, of course, because you wouldn't have a place to be pulled into. and sororities unaffilliated with the pan-hellenic council (those that don't have panhel charters) may also have more leniency. honestly, though, living in the house is one of the best things about being in a sorority. no boys, good rooms, choice of roommate, etc. the benefits far outweigh the inconveniences. ]
