8 Reasons To Join A Sorority

If you ask any woman who is apart of a sorority, she will tell you that there is an infinite number of reasons you should join too! Greek life has instilled many values in me, such as faith, wisdom, power, love, and hope. Even though the list is endless, here are some of my top reasons to join a sorority.

1. Sisterhood

Sisterhood is unbreakable. This is not something that can be fully explained to an individual who is not apart of a sisterhood, but I will try my best! Sisterhood is loving someone no matter what the situation, sticking by your sisters' sides through thick and thin, and sometimes it's just having someone to go to Taco Bell with!

2. Academics

It is often stereotyped that all sorority girls do drink and party. This is not true at all. We are held to a standard when it comes to academics. We must keep a high GPA and are required to log study hours each week.

3. Family

The whole Greek community is a giant family. They are the only people who will ever understand the ties that bind you to your letters. Their doors are always open when life gets hard and they will always have your back.

4. Leadership

Greek Life members often seek out leadership roles within their chapter as well as other organizations on and off campus. This looks great on a resume after graduation and can help you land that dream job.

5. Professionalism

Greek Life teaches you many things, such as professional dress, running a meeting, and how to eat at a business dinner.

6. There is always someone there for you

No matter what time of day it is, there is always a sister who will go to the library, Walmart, have a study date, or just sit around and talk. Sisters are the ultimate gift!

7. Endless Clothing

Let’s not forget that when you move into the chapter house that there are 40 other closets for you to raid and somebody to help you when you don't know what to wear. You will never have to go shopping again!

8. Homecoming Week

Homecoming Week is the single best week when you join a sorority. It is filled with games, parades, and tailgating!

Joining Sigma Sigma Sigma is honestly the best thing I have ever done with my life! I have become a strong and outgoing woman with sisters who would go to the ends of the Earth with me. I have made so many friends within my sorority and other sororities and fraternities. Greek life was the best decision I have ever made in my life and it can change your life too!

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.
