542: Greek Life Tips from the Sorority Success Academy

9 Sep

Maureen Anderson from the Sorority Success Academy shares how as a first-generation college student, who after a injury found she didn’t have many friends outside of cheer, she was able to fill that social void through Greek life on campus. Greek life is a lot more than what we’ve seen in the media. There is an emphasis on: 

  • sisterhood (brotherhood for fraternities)
  • philanthropy / service 
  • academics 
  • social interaction 
  • leadership, networking, and soft skills 

Maureen shares a wealth of information: 

  • timeline (don’t wait until college starts to plan) 
  • recommendation letters 
  • recruitment rounds 
  • formal membership 
  • strategies for success

Understanding the process and how to position yourself for a good match is just one of the ways Maureen and the Sorority Success Academy can help. Check out her $99 class and reach out if you are interested in personalized consultations:
