Greek life is something that is huge and super important at some colleges. At my school, Greek life is something that's pretty big and seems to be a dominant part of a lot of peoples' lives.

Before rush began, I did think a lot about if I wanted to be in a sorority. My mom was in one when she was in college, and I know she absolutely loved it. When I thought about it though, it just didn't really seem like something I would be interested in. I never thought I could see myself in a sorority.

I didn't want to completely dismiss the idea, though. Knowing, if I wanted to rush, I wouldn't be able to do so until my spring semester, I kept an open mind through my first semester. After realizing how hard my major is and how much I struggled with my classes the first semester, I decided that I really needed to put my focus into my work and really work my ass off to get the grades I would be proud of. Yes, I'm at college to meet new people and make my lifelong friends, but what I'm truly here for is my education, which needs to be top priority.

That's just my opinion, though. I have to give a lot of credit to the girls I know rushing. They would have almost 12 hour days for the whole weekend, while doing their homework on top of that. I know personally I don't think I could keep up with it.

Being in a sorority is just something I couldn't see myself doing, and I don't think I'll regret my decision in the end.
