5 Reasons You Should Consider Joining A Sorority In The Fall
Kelsie Cottrill

When people think about joining a sorority a lot of people re just like no. Sororities have been given some seriously bad stereotypes and rumors that make some people believe that they're bad and you shouldn't join one. Well I'm here to tell you that you might actually be wrong. and give you some reasons why you should consider it:

1. You make a ton of friends

Whether you end up actually joining one of the sororities or you just go through formal recruitment, you have a chance to make lots of friends. You get to meet girls of all different personalities and majors. You get to meet people you thought you'd never meet. And lets be honest if you're an incoming freshman it can be pretty hard to make friends. Well now you have a perfect opportunity to make some. And you might just find your BFFL

2. Fun experience

Even if you are one of those people who thinks sororities are bad or something along those lines, it never really hurts to try. You might actually find out that you like it and realize that all the rumors you've heard aren't actually true. And then you could have more fun experiences if you decided to join. If you end up actually not liking it, well at least you can say you gave it a shot.

3. You just might find a home away from home

Coming to college can be a really frightening experience, especially if you're college is away from home or you moved into the dorms. You're given a lot of responsibility and sometimes you can feel really alone. Joining a sorority can be a perfect thing to keeping you active around campus and keep your mind of being home sick. Plus, you make lots of sisters that will treat you like their own family. And that's a feeling you can't replace with just anything. A sorority and sorority sisters could be just the thing you need while you're away from your family. And even if you are still with your parents it can be a new way to lengthen your family and add sisters you've always wanted

4. Leadership opportunities


Sororities give you some great opportunities. Not only do you have many sisters out there (who just might be your boss in the future), but you also get to participate in things that are great for your resume and yourself. With philanthropy and leadership positions in your sorority, you are given many opportunities to be a leader. You can be a leader in your community or in your sorority. Basically you're given lots of opportunities to become a better, stronger you. Who doesn't want some amazing leaderships to tell people about and put on your resume.

5. Academics


Whether you're not so great with your school work or school work is very important to you, you will now have people who want to help you or want help from you. If you're not doing so great in your classes, you have many sisters to help you. If your math homework isn't making any sense there will be a sister that can help you. You can have study sessions with your sisters. Because all these girls care about is success, not just for themselves but for everyone in the chapter. They will want you to be successful. No sister left behind.

If you're going to be a new freshman or a sorority has just been on your mind, just give it a shot. Theres no pain in trying and you may find that you like it. if you do like it you have the chance to make friends for life. you may just meet your future best friends, your future bridesmaids, your future anything. A sorority will build your future to look even brighter then it is

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
