What is it like being in a sorority and should I consider joining one in college?

I've heard about hazing which scares me a bit, but I've also heard a lot of good things. (I'd also love to hear about experiences had in fraternities and how that may have affected male professionals on the site as well.) Does joining one help build up a network and is that helpful in future...

Does it help to start off in a career that pays well, rather than searching for your dream job?

I know college results in debt, so I was wondering: in the long run would it be worth it to find a job in a subject you like(but aren't overly fond of) and use that to become more financially stable, then find a career you are very passionate about? #finance #debt #multiple-interests
