Once bids are submitted, two are chosen for sororities, active members review their preference cards and make their decisions. I was really nervous when I filled out my preference card, but I was confident in my choices. Sororities can be a good place to meet people in a school full of commuters, Cordoni said. Cordoni added that the Alpha Phi house at Santa Clara University has about 100 active members. In a house with 100 people there is no way you can know everybody.
Sororities fulfill different needs for different people.
For some it is social needs, philanthropy or scholarships. But all these benefits come at a price. Payment plans are available. Dues are used for local sorority fees, international pledge fees, chapter fees, initiation event fees, T-shirts, sweatshirts and an initiation pin. They help set up programs to educate us.
