1) You will find your home
Recruitment isn't the best process in the world but nothing beats the feeling of getting a bid from the sorority that you felt a sense of home from. It's truly hard leaving home and not having a comfort zone in college. This can be challenging but luckily for me, my sorority turned into my home away from home and I am truly thankful for that.
2) Your big will be your long lost twin
I was lucky enough to have met my big during recruitment and from the moment we met, we knew we were each other's long lost twin. My big is truly like the older sister that I never had and having her come into my life was truly a blessing. Nothing beats having someone who you can always count on, that could mean a ride to the sorority house or simply someone to study with. Nothing compares to the bond of sisterhood that a big and little have. Oh, and if you're lucky enough your family tree will be the best addition to your life like mine is.
3) The value of friendship
Finding a good group of friends in college is difficult, especially after just moving away from home. Joining a sorority not only brings amazing friends into your life but most importantly brings sisters. It's easy to make friends because you all have similar values and respect each other for who they are. You learn what it truly means to be a friend.
4) Hard work pays off
Being able to help out with service projects to raise money for your philanthropy is incredibly fun and knowing that you are making a difference in the world is even better. Making other people smile is one of God's greatest gifts to us and being able to do that with your sisters is priceless.
5) Formals will be the best nights of your life
Actually getting to dress up in college is rare, doing your hair, makeup nails, actually shaving your legs, getting a fancy dress, and finding the perfect date brings back memories of prom and homecoming. Those are some of the high school nights we all wish to go back to but luckily there are formals for this. Dancing and singing your heart out to Bet On It from High School Musical at a fancy country club with your sisters is one thing that you never forget.
6) We break stereotypes
No, we are not constantly drinking, we are not dumb, and we are not all blonde and skinny. We are women who care about others and will do anything to help a sister in need. We are leaders within our school and the community. We are smart women, who are blessed with an education. We are different shapes, sizes, and colors. We have different backgrounds and beliefs but we have incredible respect for each other. We are kind, funny, bright, and we do make a difference in the world. We are role models.
7) We have fun
We have formals, socials, philanthropy events, sleepovers, dinner dates, bible study, study sessions, and most importantly we have each other. Nothing compares to always having your sisters turn into your best friends. 'We wear our letters on the front because our sisters have our backs.'
8) These will be the greatest people you’ll ever meet
Greek life has been a blessing. You not only meet people in your chapter but also others at your own school and others. There truly is a bond between those who are in greek life, no matter where you are. These friendships and connections will be with you forever.
9) You always know someone has your back
Need someone to get food with you? Study with you? A shoulder to cry on? No matter what you need, there is a sister willing to help. Having a support system during your college years is important and having over 80 girls that have my back honestly rocks.
10) Sorority girls are beautiful, strong, and make a difference.
This one explains itself.
