Also, you actually can pledge after you graduate, as an alumna. At least in my sorority you can. Although the Greek life certainly won't be the same.

At least that's how it works here. PM me if you want.

Its a great way to buy your friends.

I agree with this.
I think the whole idea is absolutely ridiculous.

However, that being said, I've never talked to anyone who regretted joining one.  So apparently the money buys yo quality friends, but I think mine are pretty sweet too, and I get 'em for free.

I thought once you pledge to a sorority/fraternity it was a life long commitment?

---

  It is, that's why I'm not sure if I'm ready to make that commitment.

 In all reality, you can drop out if you so decide. If you pick a bad sorority or the girls turn out to be not who you though, or if they expect too much from you, you can always go inactive or drop out or join a different one. It's not like you'll die if you leave, it's simply that most people enjoy it and don't want to.

actually, as a former member of the greek life system, if you join a social sorority (not a co-ed or honors fraternity--say the band fraternity, for example) and decide to no longer be a member of that particular sorority, you are ineligible to join another one. every sorority has a certain ritual they perform for initiations, meetings, etc., and every sorority considers these to be secret and sacred. if you've already seen the rituals for one sorority, they don't want you to join another one in case you spill the beans. i know it sounds crazy, but that's how it works.

Sounds like hazing to me.
