Balancing Sorority Life & Academics

We're back with more advice from our Sigma Rho Chis! Can you believe recruitment is this week!? We know you're stressing about school - so are we! It's hard to find that balance between school and all the other things you have going on. If you join a sorority will your grades suffer? This is a common misconception, but every sorority on our campus has academic standards that members are held to - Greek Life actually has consistently higher GPA's compared to non-affiliated students. Today our Rho Chi's are going to talk about balancing their academics with their sororities.

Stereotyping

Sororities - as well as Greek Life in general - tend to get a bad rap! There's a lot of information out there that is simply not true. We've all heard it, and we want you all to know the truth - sorority women are smart and dedicated leaders on our campus.  Our Sigma Rho Chi's are proof of this, and they're here to weigh in on how they feel about the rumors and misconceptions that many have about Greek Life. 

And as for sorority girls specifically? 

If this doesn't at least make you doubt the stereotypes you've heard, stay tuned next week for genuine advice and testimonials from our recruitment counselors. 

WE ARE THE RED & WHITE FROM STATE....

Tomorrow is game day! We hope you're as excited as we are to kick off another great season of football and tailgating! GO WOLFPACK!

Greek Life at NC State

Your first full week of the fall semester is complete! Before you enjoy another fun weekend at college, let us leave you with some information on our campus' Greek Life. Greek Life at NC State may not be as big as it is at other schools, but it's still a big part of our campus! About 11% of our student body is part of a greek organization, and these members are some of the most involved people on campus. Below are some of our Sigma Rho Chi's thoughts on NC State's Greek Life.

Interested in learning more about Greek Life and the four councils on our campus? Check out the NCSU Greek Life website, here, and always feel free to stop by the office and say hi! Happy weekend!

For the next few days we will be hearing what our Sigma Rho Chis have to say about recruitment and their personal advice for those of you interested in going through the formal recruitment process.
