			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" title="Sorority Life" src="http://profile.ak.facebook.com/object3/248/120/n8630423715_1745.jpg" alt="" width="128" height="128" />I didn&#8217;t go to a school that had a greek life. As an all-girl school, we were like one big sorority already. Did I miss having a Greek life? I don&#8217;t know. How can I miss what I never had?</p>
<p>Well now I have the Facebook App, Sorority Life to give me a parody on what Sorority life would be like. You begin with an avatar that you make up with GLAM. People are allowed to vote on your avatars style once a day. People most likely to vote for you are your sisters. Your sisters are those in your house. You get a max of 500 sisters. With these sisters, you can attack other girls &#8220;on campus.&#8221; The more sisters you have, and the more GLAM you have collectively, the better equipped you are at attacking another girl.</p>
<p>In order to get GLAM and cash, you perform events. There are 4 event categories with many events in each. You can also earn money by getting a job. Jobs range from bar maid to reporter to model. Each with a training fee and an hourly allowance.  You can also buy GLAM using Brownie Points given to you by the House Mother when you complete certain levels of events.</p>
<p>The Addiction: I can&#8217;t stop playing it. When I log onto Facebook, the first thing I look for is SLife requests or messages. At one point I even went to a site called SLifeTrain.com were you can add others as friends so that you can add them to your house on Sorority Life. I ended up going from a house of 10 to a house of 100 in a matter of days.</p>
<p>The Downside: You have to be friends with someone on Facebook before you can add them as a friend. All I did was find like-minded people in SLife groups and on SLifeTrain and add the as friends, put them in a specific list, then invite all in that list to join my house on SLife.</p>
<p>Brownie Points: Another downside is Brownie Points. They seem to only be good for making people shop the offers on the House Mom&#8217;s page. They can buy GLAM but are hard to come by. If you could use the money you&#8217;ve made to buy BP then it might be worth it to have them.</p>
<p>I advise you not to try it if you want to get anything done with your day. Don&#8217;t get sucked in as I have. My husband scoffs when he sees me at the computer with that big, pink banner right there at the top os the screen. And I don&#8217;t blame him, but he does have his WarFish (risk in Scrabulus format, but was out before Scrabulus) and I try not to judge. But if you can DON&#8217;T DO IT TO YOURSELF. STAY AWAY FROM SORORITY LIFE. Or else I may have to attack you and sisters and leave you all depressed and crying for the spa.</p>
