This is a place where issues that just us Duke girls constantly face can be put out in the open and responded to with advice and support. This will be an anonymous collection of women’s questions, opinions, advice and stories from our peers and alumni to serve as guidance and inspiration for those of us who just need a helping hand or someone to turn to without being judged.
Everything is completely anonymous, even the creator of this site cannot figure out who posted what. The goal is to encourage honesty so please refrain from any derogatory remarks. Constructive criticism is more than welcome but any posts that compromise the anonymity or openness of the blog will be removed.
Because only the administrator can post, all posts will be under College Girl and Beyond even though they come from a variety of sources. If you wish for your thoughts to be posted, simply add a comment to the most recent post.Sexual Assault Support Services at Duke

I am not in a sorority--I joined a selective living group, and I love it. I have many girl friends in my selective living group, in sororities, and who are independant. But I've found that though some girls love their sororities, and make their best friends within their sororities, others just as easily find friends through classes, extracurricular activities, freshman dorms. I would say that the most important thing is to block with a good group of girls or join a selective living group--who you live near to is often the most important factor in friendships.
On the other hand, I have a couple friends who have absolutely HATED their sorority experience--too much drama, too many perfunctory, time wasting activities.
All in all, if you make an effort to get involved in something--whether it's a sorority, a club sport, or another type of Duke activity--you will not feel excluded. But if you wait for the friends to come to you, it might not happen. I think this is true not only for Duke life but for life in general.
