fAGGGOUR We The Women If Yoy Aire A tßoshee In A Dilemma Read 'these Pros And Cons— Sororities do, to a large extent, limit the friendships of their ♦members. This is particularly true o£ those women who do not mix ■easily nor make acquaintances with calisemess. There are many personalities which thrive better knowing many people slightly ■rather than knowing a few people well. Some women can't afford to join sororities, the average cost of which for four years has been estimated to be between $l4O and $195, plus incidentals. The incidentals, being necessary to fratern ity life, boost the cost to an uncomputable figure. Many freshmen feel that they have not had an adequate period of time to choose the group which they must spend the next four years with if they decide to pledge. Panhellenic advises freshmen in this group to wait until they are sure which house to pledge. Sororities demand much of their members’ times for rushing, pledge duties, social affairs, chapter meetings, intramural sports,' mtersorority affairs, and other activities. . Many freshmen feel that they cannot afford to give the time demanded without injuring their studies. Others realise that sororities are merely a phase of College life and prefer to use their time for extra-curricular activities other than sorority affairs. Other students tend to cLassify a woman by the sorority to which she belongs. If the house has a mediocre reputation its mem bers are also judged to have mediocre personalities. Since sororities on thiS campus do not have their own dining facilities and are able to house 15 members at the most many think ilia t if is not worthwhile to belong.: Since it is impossible to live in sorority houses until your jun- ior or senior years, there is ample opportunity to constantly make new acquaintances while living in the dormitories. Also, there are numerous outside activities in which sorority members can make additional friends if they care to. .• While the cost of belonging to sororities has been stated fairly accurately in the Panhellenic handbook’ the incidentals, mentioned above, always depend on the woman and her purse. It is not neces sary to enter into all sorority activities. Psychic advantages are derived from the feeling that one “be longs” to a closely knit organization. Sororities, through ritual and programs, tends to emphasize the educational'as well as the social aspects of college life. Every house has a period of pledge training during which pledges are acquainted with campus and sorority life with emphasis on developing the personalities and characters of freshmen. Each pledge, in each house, has a big sister or sorority “mother” who guides and advises her little sister. With chapters in colleges all over the United States, sorority members have the advantage of having something in common with thousands of college women. Some of the greatest advantages of sorority membership are derived after graduation through alumni clubs and chapters.
