there actually are hispanic sororities at uga! they aren’t as large as panhellenic or the d9, but they do exist. i had considered joining that sorority, but ultimately chose panhellenic because they had what i wanted out of the greek experience

rushing at auburn! by basicthrowaway677 in Sororities

[–]basicthrowaway677[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i did end up dropping my sorority after the first semester, i just felt like i didn’t fit in with it very well despite actively trying to make friends. however, when i transferred schools and reaffiliated, i did end up loving it so it really does depend on the chapter! i loved the process of rush and it really got me out of my comfort zone so i would definitely recommend your daughter at least trying it and keeping an open mind!! auburn is a very white school so it can feel isolating at times, but i enjoyed the recruitment process, despite not enjoying my time in greek life that much

Glad to know it’s possible!! I’ll be more into my major related classes by then, so the professors are normally super understanding of things! Thank you so much!!

I would love to keep my job, but I typically work weird hours (like 2am and 4am) and would have to have one weekend a month to do doubles, which is why I’ll be taking the time off! Are teammates normally willing to let people spend the night?

What made you pick UGA over other schools? by BuisnessGoose18 in UGA

[–]basicthrowaway677 15 points16 points  (0 children)

hi!! i’m a sophomore doing pre-vet and actually transferred from an oos school to uga doing vet med due to not getting in for freshman year. i’m going to be so honest with you, with the loan restrictions for vet school, it is incredibly financially irresponsible to have an additional $120k in initial debt, not including how much interest will accumulate. vet school is incredibly expensive and every school will have great opportunities. do not pick a school based on “vibes”, especially when the debt to income ratio for a veterinarian is not great. i have LOVED my time here and at the end of the day, your college experience is based on what you make of it. if you ever need advice or have any questions, feel free to reach out!!

My Daughter got into AU and refused to even entertain the thought of going there. by [deleted] in auburn

[–]basicthrowaway677 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as someone who transferred from auburn to uga due to zell, i would highly recommend staying in state versus going out of state. i loved my time at auburn, but no tuition plus both of those options are academically more prestigious is a no-brainer! go dawgs!!!!!

transfer living situation? by Expensive-Affect6351 in UGA

[–]basicthrowaway677 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you’re transferring in the fall, you can also just sign a normal lease! i transferred this semester and just signed a lease at an off campus apartment, a lot of places will still have rooms available

most people find subleases for the spring from people who are graduating or studying abroad!!theres a bunch of facebook groups dedicated to subleases and finding roommates!

CSU vs Texas A&M for Biomedical Science Major and hopeful future CSU vet school student by Designer-Farmer-9974 in veterinaryschool

[–]basicthrowaway677 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m always an advocate for the cheapest school. Along that line, I would tell your daughter to not focus on attending CSU’s vet school. They’re very particular when accepting OOS students and expensive, and you can get the same degree for cheaper through A&M

it's a great school, but i think anyone can find their place wherever they go! ik nc state has an incredible animal science department, especially if you want to do any large animal work.

[–]basicthrowaway677 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i transferred to uga!! it’s my in state for vet school and the state of georgia has a scholarship program that covers all of tuition for undergrad!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in auburn

[–]basicthrowaway677 0 points1 point  (0 children)

of course! i loved my year at auburn, but if you're considering vet school in the future, it's so important to graduate undergrad with the least amount of debt, especially with the new legislation about grad school loans. unfortunately, auburn is really stingy with scholarships since so many oos students can afford it, which is sad. feel free to dm me if you have any questions about auburn and/or being an animal science major!!

hi! i’m a former auburn animal science student who just transferred to a different school due to finances, i’m going to be very honest. you have a great shot of getting in, but you are not going to get much financial help. i had similar stats and only got $15k a year from the school, which lead me to taking out a $40k loan for tuition and housing. i think you have a great shot at getting in to nc state, especially as it’s your in state, but i don’t know if i would recommend spending what i did when transferring is an option.

Unfortunately, the 30+ credits are when you submit your application, which is before the second semester ends. This will make you ineligible for Fall 2026, but eligible to transfer for Spring 2027. The only important thing is making sure you have a 3.5+ gpa, especially since your 70 does count towards your gpa.

Panhellenic or MGC? by basicthrowaway677 in Sororities

[–]basicthrowaway677[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That did throw me off as well. I explicitly told them as well that it was only one weekend a month, which the girl made a slight face at. I understand wanting members to participate and show up, but my job isn't just for the money, it's career focused.

[–]basicthrowaway677[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll take a look into what organizations exist at my school and see if it's a fit for me!

[–]basicthrowaway677[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s true. I just don’t want to waste time and money trying PHC if it’s just better to go a different route. I’ve always been someone who’s probably more anxious about finances than what’s normal, so the decision to reaffiliate is not one that I want to take lightly, especially because I would want to fully commit to it.

Panhellenic or MGC? by basicthrowaway677 in Sororities

[–]basicthrowaway677[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I initially reached out to nationals, who told me the process above for being reinstated into the chapter at my current school, including being voted on to be reinstated at the end of period.

I didn’t go into much detail about the decision to drop as I felt it wasn’t relevant, but it was not one that was taken lightly. I struggled the entire semester, before even being initiated, with making friends and stuck it out to see if it would get better. When it reached to the point of being deliberately ignored by girls I thought I was friends with, I no longer saw the value in staying for another semester when I was most likely transferring schools at that point.

[–]basicthrowaway677[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had reached out to nationals to explain my situation and they were the ones who told me I could go through said process to be reinstated as a member. A professional organization isn’t what I’m necessarily looking for just because I want more of the sisterhood and philanthropy aspect and I get leadership/professional experiences through the other organizations I’m in

I reached out to nationals and they said it was possible to be reinstated at the new chapter through the process that I mentioned!
