Vet Sororities at UGA?

I go to UGA and want to go to to the vet school at UGA. I'm also thinking about joining a sorority. Does anybody know of any "pre-vet" sororities or anything of the sort? Or just any promising sororities that might look good on a application?

I don't know about "promising sororities", but I do know there is one sorority where the majority of the girls are pre-vet. I think it's Kappa Alpha?? I heard about it my freshman year during a pre-vet club meeting.

That sounds like hell. 😱

(disclaimer: I am not anti-sorority, but I am anti-putting-super-competitive-pre-professional-girls-in-the-same-house-and-seeing-what-happens.)

I admit that I'm not really the sorority sort of person to begin with but I would suggest against joining a pre-vet sorority that isn't strictly professional. I'm in an honors agriculture fraternity and we do a lot of nice stuff but because it isn't vet school focused, there isn't a vicious air of competition or anything. I imagine it would be more competitive and catty than anything.

If you're looking for extra curriculars, try Block and Bridle or your pre-vet club. Also remember that just because you're in their pre-vet sorority doesn't mean that you'll get in!

Hahaha that was exactly what my first thought was too. The worst thing....

OP basically being a pre-vet and being a vet student you might as well be in a sorority anyway considering that Y chromosomes are very scarce.

Kappa Alpha is a fraternity, and it's not a veterinary one 😉

I was Greek during undergrad as a pre veterinary student in Arizona, and I believe it helped my chances of getting into veterinary school immensely. My community service through philanthropies ended up being at least 7 pages long, I had a boat load of leadership experience, a solid support group, and it's common knowledge that Greek GPA's are higher than non-Greek GPAs. You have more access to networks, and you definitely learn how to manage time and balance school. Don't let the fear of girls (I hate them with a passion, but somehow managed to find a house of 180 girls I adore) deter you, or the fear of being "weird." In my sorority we had quite a few pre-med girls (and just as many looking for their MRS) and these pre-med girls formed the best study groups.

I know Sigma Alpha is an agricultural sorority, if you're looking more for a "club" sorority than a Panhellenic "social" sorority. Go through orientation/rush, worst case scenario you hate it and don't do it. Best case? You have an amazing 4 years.

This is probably the worst aspect of vet school :cry:

Orly?

Mmm, passionately hating an entire gender. Sexism is great!

I also go to UGA and am pre-vet...
like it was said before, there's an agricultural sorority called Sigma Alpha but its nothing specfic to pre-vet at all...

joining the pre-vet club will do the most for you I think. they meet mondays (every other monday i'm pretty sure.. )
