Are you planning to rush?? lmk in the comments

[@sabrinjami5368]

I have a question do you have to live at the college to join A sorority

[@SammiNicole]

No I don’t think so

[@conniehwood]

I think so!! I’m a current senior so I can’t wait for this summer!!

[@conniehwood]

@@madalynchadwick6643 you can look up the process on your colleges website but you go through a recruitment process after submitting an initial application/filling out a form to sign up for the process. There are a bunch of videos that detail the actual process and what “rush week/recruitment week” looks like

[@SammiNicole]

I have some videos on this 💜💜

[@26fitch]

I’m a junior and I’m finally deciding to rush. I actually like that I waited because being an outsider from the sororities has given me a good outlook on how the girls act outside of rush. I am still going in open minded! I can’t wait! Thanks for the vid

[@SammiNicole]

Yay have fun with it!

$1,800 💀 at my university every sorority besides Delta Zeta is less than $500 a semester

[@SammiNicole]

No way!

I go to a small private college and our dues are wayyyyy cheaper than that

[@SammiNicole]

I wish!

Sammi Nicole yup, I go to Eastern Michigan University and Greek life isn’t big. There’s only 8 sororities and each have a cap of about 42 members.

[@emmamanzer1076]

at the university of alabama, it can be up to $4000-$5000 which is so crazy to me!! and if you live in the house it’s around $6000

I'm going to community college first but when I transition to uni I'll def try to rush a sorority. I've been wanting go join one since watching monsters university, and Legally blonde as a kid lol. I am a little nervous since I'm a latina, and haven't heard much stories of Hispanics/Latinas being in one but I'm still willing to give it a shot.

I am 15 years old and none of my family members have been in a sorority and so I'm not sure really the process but I am very interested I plan on being a nurse and I wanna join any tips on what to do for that situation?

Hey! I’d recommend going through recruitment if your school offers it! You can put in as much time as you want to

[@rosaliemarfoglio4524]

What activities do you actually do? and how many girls are often in sorority’s?

[@SammiNicole]

Most weeks we have a dinner exchange with a fraternity, we participate in other sorotity/fraternity philanthropies including our own throughout the year, we have sisterhoods (roller skating, spa nights, hikes, drive in movies, etc). We also have semis, date parties, and formals 3-4 times a school year. It’s super fun! I’m not sure the numbers but greek life is around 20% of the campus

[@theoriginalanimeker]

@@SammiNicole How many girls are in your chapter, like for a pnm did have you have to remember 40 names or like 200...how long did it take to even talk and know everyone.

[@SammiNicole]

My pledge class was around 70 girls. It varies per year. My chapter has around 200 girls. It took me a bit to remember everyone’s name but going to events and making an effort to meet people will make it so much easier. I also love that because we are constantly getting new girls I keep getting to meet new people. There’s still some girls I haven’t hung out with yet but that’s what makes a sorority so cool

[@ayannahope1017]

I really want to rush this upcoming spring semester as a first year. My only thing is I’m African American and I know that the diversity is very low at my school. So I’m very nervous!!!

[@scarlettdean6949]

I’m really nervous for recruitment joining a sorority and I’m just wondering these are dumb questions but is there any sort of unspoken dress code for recruitment? And what sort of questions do all girls generally ask when you visit different sororities?

[@SammiNicole]

They aren’t dumb questions! I was confused too! Girls tended to wear dresses most of rush at my school and they got fancier throughout the week. I’d recommend watching a rush outfit video - I have one on my channel! Questions girls may ask might be why you want to join a sorority, what you were involved in during high school, hobbies/interests, etc. I wouldn’t worry about the questions tho because it’s the active members job to help guide your convo so you’ll never have to do this! Just answer honestly

[@lienhermans382]

I’m definitely scared to go to a sorority because of my sexuality and my beliefs. So I don’t know if I would fit in a sorority. I just don’t see a lot of gay sorority girls anywhere which makes me even more anxious to apply?

Can you play a sport and be in a sorority. If so will u get the same experience?

[@SammiNicole]

I think this depends on your school and sorority in general. There may be overlap in your events/games/practices. I know a few ppl that do both

[@jonnarobinson7541]

I became a sorority member in 1973. I also worked as an alum recruitment advisor for the local university in my area. I find her information to be accurate. Just to clarify a few terms. Rush and recruitment are the same thing. Pledges and PNM‘s are also the same thing. PNM stands for potential new member. it is interesting that not much has changed in 50 years!

[@lenalayne3437]

Hey ! Do you think that joining a sorority is possible for an international student on a exchange year ? Or is it only for people who stay the 4 years in this college...? Thank you 😊

I know it’s late to be commenting but I’m thinking about joining this spring and I was wondering if joining a sorority is hard if you’re a more shy person? I’m currently a freshman in college and the main thing holding me back is my anxiety and I was wondering if it will be too much or if I will get used to it

[@SammiNicole]

Hi! It can be a bit intimidating at times since you talk with a bunch of girls, but I think you should go for it! It’s kinda awk but also so fun haha. Rush is the weirdest part for sure, but once ur done it’s soo much better and not stressful. Also keep in mind not everyone in a sorority is super outgoing either ❤️

Does joining a sorority take a lot of time out of your social life ? I’ve been thinking ab joining one but it looks like a little more than a lot of planning and activities that I would love to be a part of but would I be able to have a life outside the sorority?

[@SammiNicole]

Hi! Yes! You’re definitely able to be in more things than just a sorority. You get out what you put in so whether that’s most of your time or some, it’s really up to you. Sororities typically encourage being very involved on campus outside of Greek life

[@SammiNicole]

You definitely don’t have to join one! Sororities aren’t everyone’s vibe and that’s totally fine. I always recommend it if it sounds interesting at all to you since it can be a great way to meet people. Sorority events don’t impact my studies in a bad way it’s actually helped me do better in school since they care so much about grades

[@kellykapoor2]

[@bluedaffodil2023]

Sororities and fraternities seem like an exclusive club where you need money, looks, and health to get in. Once you're in, it's just a way to access parties, alcohol, and sex during college and high social status throughout life.

Do you think I could have a part time job, do medical school, and be in a sorority? Or would that be too many commitments?

That’s way too many commitments. A part time job + medical school alone definitely would be overwhelming

I’m nervous that I won’t meet anyone and get that good bond. Does it happen over recruitment or before by reaching out!? Love this vid 💖

[@SammiNicole]

It’s depends on the person! I met my little thru recruitment but it wasn’t until we hung out after that we really knew we’d be big little! The sororities will pair you with girls every week to help you find a big, going to sisterhoods help, and sometimes it’s super random in how you meet! 💓

@@CayleighKristine that probably depends on the school and the sorority. You would most likely not be able to stay in the house right away simply bc school starts before rush so you wouldn’t know which house you’d be in and all of that

Hey Sammi. I like your hair btw:) Do you recommend rushing as a junior/senior? I am a junior and am interested in the rush process. Do you recommend it? My previous college I couldn’t really make that many friends

[@SammiNicole]

Hi! Aw thank you ☺️ I think joining a sorority can be a great way to make friends. I do think your experience depends on the school because some sororities support more freshman/sophomores to join since they’ll have several years to make friends etc. I don’t think that should push you away from rushing (I’ve known a decent amount of juniors join!) , but keep it in mind since you’d only get 1-2 years in the sorority. It’d be helpful to reach out to specific sororities at your school to see if this is more common than you think.

Hello, I am entering my senior year of HS and plan to attend college after graduation. My academics are above 4.0 and I got 1380 on SAT's. I have not decided where to go or really even what I want to be when I grow up, lol. I've just started researching College life but my sister told me I should join a sorority. I've poked around today and read a lot and this is going to sound really funny, but I'm not really a girly girl and was just wondering if I would fit in to Greek life. Thanks and I enjoyed your video and will watch others.

[@SammiNicole]

Hi! Every house is different so you have a great chance at finding a house that you like! You do not have to be a girly girl to be in a sorority although some girls are. Sororities have different friend groups in them and I know my sorority definitely has a mix on the types of personalities and activities the girls are into doing!

[@kinsjon]

@@SammiNicole Thank you for replying. Most of my reading about different sororities and video's show pictures of beautiful girls wearing dresses, so I was just curious. Heck, I haven't worn a dress since I was probably 8 years old! Thanks again!!

[@SammiNicole]

No problem! During the rush process girls generally wear dresses, skirts, rompers, but if that’s not for you then don’t! I would just dress to show your personality. If you decide the process is weird or being in a sorority is too girly for you that is totally fine too. It’s just hard for me to say because every school is different.

[@SammiNicole]

Hey! I don’t think it’s a bad idea to join right away! If anything it’s a great way to meet friends right away. However there’s no problem waiting. It’s a bit less common for second years to go thru recruitment but it’s totally okay! If you go thru recruitment and realize it’s not for you, you can stop the process

[@lizalop1078]

As I'm finishing up my application and about to submit the documents, I became curious as to why different organizations ask for unofficial and official transcripts? Is it because some are national organizations? The sorority I'm interested falls under the MGC. Why can’t they check our gpa with the registrar’s office? Is the sole purpose of providing transcripts is to verify that oneself is on good academic standing gpa wise? Do they confirm their admission that our transcripts are real?

[@SammiNicole]

It probably depends on the school. I don’t think I ever submitted an official transcript. GPA is important so they probably want to confirm your grades

Do you have to drink hella when you get recruited because sadly I can’t drink ever in my life due to my chronic illness? Also does it matter what skin color you are?

No you will not be forced to drink or do anything you do not want to do. We have a ZERO hazing tolerance and I’d expect other universities to have the same.

I know I’m kind of particular, but can I know if members of a chapter have like the same major as me and stuff like that?

Hi! Sororities main focus is their sisterhood and service for others. The media makes sororities seem very different than they are. Some schools have huge sorority houses with like 60-70 girls living in and some schools have a few girls live in. My sorority is full of girls from every major

Ok so super random question but what is the setup of the room like during rush?? Do you all sit at tables or stand and talk or are there long tables you just rotate through?? I know this is super random but I am so curious abt this aspect bc no one actually talks about that part of rush... from a current hs senior

[@SammiNicole]

Great question!! If it’s in person your rush group will stand outside the house and one by one the sorority girls will come pick you up from the line. Then you’ll either go into the house to have a conversation or the backyard and typically sit at tables near other girls going through recruitment. You’ll have a conversation with 1-3ish active sorority members that round. The active members make it super easy for the PNM so don’t worry! Hope to have in person this fall🤞🏼

[@twilightsun8109]

It’s absolutely possible! Sororities put academics and jobs as their top priority so you’ll be able to balance everything! My sorority actually encourages us to be a part of at least 2 clubs

[@SammiNicole]

It’s totally doable! I worked 10-25 hours through college! 💕

[@marcotagliani3385]

how did you manage to film himym and still be active in your sorority?

[@yabarber6902]

I know it’s sounds strange but you don’t have to do anything crazy physical like fight someone right? My girl said she wants to join one to help her but I hear crazy stories about fraternities and shit and people getting skulls caved in with bats and I’m just so worried 😮‍💨 please answer this I just need to know what all do you do and stuff like that. The more I think about this stuff the more it just seems like a bad idea. Are people bullies in sororities? Will they force her to drink?

[@SammiNicole]

No you aren’t forced to do anything

[@yabarber6902]

Do people bully/haze others?

[@yabarber6902]

Again I know it’s dumb but she won’t have to fight anyone will she 😮‍💨 my friend was in a Fraternity and said other Fraternities would literally attack others with bats and shit and send people to the hospital or probably even worse. I just don’t want anyone to lay a finger on her and I believe some of these wild stories I’ve heard

[@SammiNicole]

No that should never happen

[@yabarber6902]

Thank you

[@catherineparisien8854]

Honestly, I live in Canada where there aren't sororities. But all these videos and movies that touch on them make me want to move to America and go to UF to join a sorority and study business. I want to live my college life to the fullest.

[@SammiNicole]

Being in a sorority has been the highlight of college for me!!💓💓

[@ItsMaanya]

Heyy so i dont really know much about sororities and i wanted to know if u can balance that stuff with studies and other schoolwork or does it become wayy too hectic cause i wanna avoid that and does it ever require u to skip classes to attend events?

[@SammiNicole]

Hi! I’ve found a great balance of doing both. It may depend on your school but at my college balancing it is not very hard

[@lillychapman2922]

I'm more geeky and not too feminine. I like dresses but not big on too many other stereotypical female things. Would I do okay?

[@carmenraad23]

Could one balance nursing school and a sorority ?

[@DutchSimmer1]

I know this is an old video, but I still had a question. What are chapters? And also, are all the sororities on campus still connected by a main organization or something? Or are sororities from different colleges with the same name connected to each other? I’m sorry if these are obvious questions, but I’m not from the US but still like to learn about greek life there.

[@SammiNicole]

Hi! Chapters are the different sororites on campus. Sororities are connected by a main organization like Panhellenic. Hope that helped!!

[@regulatory_pharma1662]

I am from India and I am so confused. Like what is the point of this? We go to college for studying right? What is this? What do I not understand?

[@itsmelaurenx]

I know I’m a year late, but I did community college and pre reqs but want to go to a university now and join a sorority. I’m 20… is that too old? Will they decline me?

[@SammiNicole]

20 is not too old! We get transfers all the time! Sometimes sororities take younger girls more often since they are more likely to be in the sorority longer, but not all sororities are like that and many of them don’t care at all!

[@otakuxhunter2753]

I want to join a sorority for the connections, but I’m a film production and theater major, and I go to a smaller college. Plus I’m non binary (born female). I’m so scared to be excluded or ignored for being gay, non bi, or too ugly. The bigger college I used to go too did not like people like me. This video helped me understand a bit better than I did, so thank you. (Anyone know any good sorority’s for theater? Preferably around Kansas City)

[@serenityhezuse9386]

Also can you be on a sorority if you have a scholarship

[@SammiNicole]

Yes absolutely

[@melonphi7111]

i really want to be in a sorority because i feel like its my scene and im very interested in greek culture, so this is very helpful btw im 13 but u can never be too prepared also i really love the concept of it but im kind of worried that ill stand out because im mixed with black,filipino and slovak, any advice lol

[@bethanyboller8642]

I’m rushing next year n I’m PUMPED

[@SammiNicole]

Woo!! Have fun with it! 💓

[@simoneelizabeth9927]

Is it important to have sm? I don’t have an insta for example. Would that set me back?

[@SammiNicole]

I think it can definitely help but I wouldn’t say it’s incredibly important since your conversations should be what they pay attention to💗

[@shahidmufti795]

Hey, KZbin algorithm brought me here for some reason..lol...but anyways, I wish you the best of luck at college and I enjoyed watching your video. Glad to see you're enjoying Greek life..

Thank you!!

[@hannahgolay6655]

What is it like joining a sorority later in college? Is it the same??

[@SammiNicole]

I would say it’s a bit different just because the majority of girls in your pledge class will be freshman. However I’ve found that girls that join later still have a great time!

[@jillvann4742]

is it possible to be on a sports team and a sorority at the same time? i’m still in middle school but college seems so fun

Yes it’s possible!

Nope!

Males will generally join a fraternity (some are only male and some are coed)

Are you allowed to date guys or bring guys home?

Is there a payment plan where you can pay every month??

Yeah! I think all sororities probably have this option. That’s what I do

Sammi Nicole approx. how much do you pay per month?
