College organizations
I'll probably get flamed for this, but was/is anyone in a sorority or fraternity? A social one, an honors one, a department one... Whatever 
Or were you in any organizations in college?

Re: College organizations
I wasn't in any organizations, but I was highly involved in my church so that took up 90% of my free time. I just didn't have to rush to join

I didn't get offended by the question, Ember, but I do know why some people can be overly-touchy about not going Greek. At my school, a huge percentage of the student body was involved in a fraternity or sorority, and with their frequent exclusive on-campus events, matching game day outfits, and special treatment at every local bar, it was easy to sometimes feel like I was back in high school being unpopular.

[QUOTE]Judo club?! Elle, you are such a bada$$! I took karate for one semester, and I sucked at it :)
Posted by Ember01[/QUOTE]
I am indeed. :)
I doubt I would be good at karate either. It's too precise. Judo is almost a "messy" art. I only joined the club because I met a cute representative at the student organization fair, but I was hooked after one class.
I wouldn't have survived college without it. It's where I got practically all of my friends, and it was an amazing outlet for stress. It's also where I met FI.
I also was a doctor's office junkie. I was sick (still am, but have better control over it now) and got to go see my doc every other Friday at 1 PM. Yep, a standing appointment at the doc. That's a bad sign.
And I TA'd for chem lab
I want to get into Phi Alpha Theta, the National History Honors Society.
No sororities for me, I'm too busy. I would probably check them out if I wasn't busy, everyone in them seems to be happy with their decision to join.
I'm sort of in an unofficial sorority now. Or at least that's how we justify it. lol

I was involved in Fish Camp. It's an off site 4 day retreat for incoming freshmen to teach school traditions and to give them a chance to meet other freshmen in large and small group settings. I was a counselor for two years and the third year a co-chair for a camp. It was a lot of fun and where most of my friends at school came from.
But it's not from my university days.
We didn't have sororities at my school. But I lived in res..that's like a club, right?

No sororities, just the accounting club. I was never active and pretty much only used it for my resume.

I was also a member of the Communication honor society, but I can't remember what it was called because I didn't do anything with them other than join. (Google tells me it's Lambda Pi Eta.)

[QUOTE]We don't have sororities at my school (all girls, small and private, so no need) but there is a big Greek life at the large state university down he street. All of our honor societies are Greek. I am a Alpha Lambda Delta (freshman honor society), Pi Sigma Alpha (Political Science honor society) and a Kappa Nu Sigma (junior honor society). Do they really count though?

I'm an ALD girl, too! I stayed active in it during my Sophomore year (we did a lot of service on campus and we chaperoned all the dances at the jr high down the street) and started into my Junior year as the Junior advisor but that didn't last long, our group started getting way too political for me so I left. I was also inducted into Golden Key Honor Society, but our chapter wasn't active at all.
I lived in the dorms the entire 3 1/2 years I was in school and my Freshman year I was really active (trying to meet people) - we had 7 floors with about 90 girls per floor and I was our floor's rep at the weekly meetings. Wasn't anything too glamorous, but since I was active, I got to work on the homecoming float for our dorm, so that was pretty cool.
