oh, not compulsory sororities, it's still a thing you choose to do, but sororities are really a huge part of southern university culture - at least at the big schools, the state universities - and it seems to me like a lot of girls join sororities because their mothers or grandmothers or whatever expect them to. it's ... complicated. hard to explain if you're not used to the idea.
