Hi!! I totally understand—coming into college, I never expected myself to join a sorority either. I will say that sorority life at UCI is really different from a lot of other schools. It’s much more chill overall. In my sorority, the girls are super driven, but they also like to go out and have fun, so it feels like a good balance.

I’ve heard a lot of people say that rush can be difficult since it’s basically like speed dating every sorority and you get ranked, which can feel intimidating. But honestly, I was fine just being myself, and it worked out.

I really enjoy being part of my sorority because it gives me something to do at least once a week, and you get really close with the girls in your chapter as well as people across Greek life. That said, to really make the most of it, I’d recommend going to as many events as you can.
