Attention Sophomores: You Should Still Rush!

Freshman year is over, summer break is over, and you're back on campus. Let's be honest, you're feeling way more confident than you did this time last year. You have some idea of how things work around campus; you know where to eat, where not to eat, where your classes are (kind of) and you have made some great friends (thank god). Sophomore year is looking up, but you're still questioning one thing. Should I rush? But more importantly, you're asking yourself, should I rush as a sophomore? And the answer is YES.

Although you may feel old standing next to all the cute freshmen who haven't gained those 15 pounds yet, it is so worth it. I rushed as a sophomore, and honestly, it was one of the best decisions I made. Maybe you weren't sure if joining a sorority was for you last year or you wanted to get adjusted to college life before making a big time commitment like Greek Life. Even if you still aren't sure about a sorority or aren't fully adjusted to living on your own, you should still go through the rush process as a sophomore, and this is why.

1. Your campus gets even smaller.

Not literally obviously, but if you think you met a lot of people last year — just wait. Greek life automatically gives you a hundred-plus girls to study, eat, and hang out with on campus. Besides becoming sisters with a ton of women who have the same interests and values as you do, you meet so many other students in other sororities and fraternities just by joining Greek Life.

2. More opportunities.

Need I say more?

3. Help your community

An amazing opportunity to expand beyond your university.

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.
