Going Greek at your university is always a tough decision. There are so many choices, so many different dynamics, philanthropies, social events and dues where you could possibly be unsure of what the right decision is. Well look no further! This article will help you choose your right Greek Organization!
1. Take the first step...and go through recruitment!
Whether you are going through Formal Recruitment, or a selective recruitment event in a non-formal recruitment semester, go check out your campus' recruitment. You will never know what your potential sisterhood has in store for you until you go see the events!
2. Find the sisterhood that is right for you.
The best part about going through a sorority recruitment is seeing who your future sisters could be. There is nothing more exciting than finding a place where you belong!
3. Philanthropy, philanthropy, philanthropy!
Usually this is what gets women motivated to go Greek. What does your organization fund raise for? Is it Breast Cancer Education and awareness? Is it the Make-a-Wish foundation? It is beautiful to see what kind of work women can do for those in need. It is a decision solely up to you, philanthropy can give you that extra push to ensure that you are joining an organization for the right reason.
4. Look back into your family history!
You might already know family who went Greek, but you never know if you will find out you're a legacy, where women joined the same organization as you! There is a certain bond family members have when sisters, or a mom and daughter duo join a sorority. It is a special bond that you can share with blood, that's pretty legit.
5. Look for the organization's presence on campus!
Do you see the sorority's members on campus at random times in their letters? Do you see them tabling in the union building? What about in competitions that the school puts on during homecoming? The women are right under your nose, and of course are peers in your classes. You never know when a potential sister will be a great lab partner for your science lab out of chance!
One thing is for sure, don't be intimidated to go through recruitment. Go through it! You find your best friends, your future roommates, and your future bridesmaids! Whether you are a freshman new to college, or an older student looking for the right bond to graduate with. It is an experience you will never regret!
