[Music] hey guys welcome back to my channel today's video is going to be another sorority related one so today's video I'm gonna be talking about 5 things you should know before joining a sorority so the reason I chose 5 is because Sam hovitos already incorporated has five founders if you didn't know now you know but anyway so these are just five broad things that you should know before you go ahead and join any sorority if it's not said if I'm better that's okay but these are some things you should know so first and foremost you should know the basic history about that organization now this is an easy google search all you have to do is search the organization and get some facts some quick facts on it um the broad history you don't need to know all the details you don't need to know all the founders first and last names back and forth in order and all that you don't need to know all that but just a broad history just so that you know some pieces of information about the organization so when you're asked questions or when you're looking into different organizations of comparing them you have something to go off of the next thing you want to do is you want to make sure that you know the chapter on your campus you want to know the ladies that are part of the chapter that you're going to be joining you don't want to go and blind not knowing who's in a chapter and then find out that you may not fit in with the personalities of that chapter just because every Zeta is gonna be the same that's alright some people everything is not the same so you want them to take the time out to get to know the ladies of the chapter that you're trying to join the third thing you're gonna yeah the third thing you're gonna do is see how they interact on campus make sure you go to their events see what kind of events they host see how they interact with other organizations on campus see how they interact with the Kemp's itself like the rules regulations have they been suspended have they been um had they had girls that got their letters revoked or you know I mean just get to know how to interact on campus because I Thunder today once you join an organization you're gonna wear the badge of that sorority so you might want to know what you're getting into prior to that so the fourth thing you want to do is make sure you're saving your money because it's not cheap to be a Zeta it's not cheap to join any organization and to stay in that organization so make sure you're saving your money when you're doing on research looking at different organizations just put some money away so that when it comes time hey you don't have to scramble and figure out how you're gonna get your finances in order just start doing that if you know for a fact that you want to join an organization you want to join us already stop putting your coins away in the beginning so that you already have the money and if you decide you don't want to join an organization now you just have a savings account that you built and you can use for something else maybe like a new car loan payments whatever who knows whatever you want to spend your money on the last thing you want to do is consult others so I only have one person in my family who's also Greek he's my first cousin he's Sigma which is pretty cool so we're cousins and brothers and sisters through organization so make sure you're consulting with other people if you know somebody else who's in organizations and you value their opinion ask them like if you know like I had a mentor and she's a K I would ask her all the time about different organizations and stuff and if they're good mentors if they're good people they're gonna make sure they don't be too biased if they're in a particular organization they're gonna give you broad information they're not gonna say oh well Zeta Phi Beta is the best sorority and you shouldn't look at any other organizations know if they're good mentors like my little sister comes and asks me I tell her everything that I know about all the organizations that she's interested in and I leave it up to her to make that decision but that is the fifth thing you want to do maybe you want to consult with others I advise you to consult with others and get others opinions especially if they're only yard or they used to be part of that chapter or they've been in the game for a while because then you know they've been around the block a little bit so they know more information and they could pass that along to you and you could use that to your advantage but those are just some five quick things that I wanted to talk about as far as things that you should know before you join a sorority they're important to me personally for my sister and she's looking at saris I told her these same five things to make sure she's doing so that when it comes time to make that decision ultimately she's not a deer in headlights like she's armed with information from knowing the history she knows how the girls are that she's gonna be calling sisters she knows how to keep the chapter is looked at on campus she has her money in order and then lastly she was able to talk to other people and get not their blessing but you know get outside opinion on the organization as a whole and there opinion of it so hopefully this video was helpful to us it's also out there looking at sororities and looking at joining Greek life make sure you give me a thumbs up comment down below whatever you want to comment I was going to say the organization you're looking at but if you're not if you're not comfortable telling me what that is that's okay but comment down below and I'll see you guys my next one and that's always stay loyal bye guys [Music]
