If you're not in Greek life and you hear the word "Sorority" you probably think something along the lines of Lilly Pulitzer, big bows, and an unnatural peppy attitude.

Those are not bad attributes, and that may be the case at some schools, but Bridgewater takes pride in having diverse sorority members in each organization.

Lilly dresses are amazing, don't get me wrong! If I could could afford one I'd have ten. But I don't see a whole sorority of women that have to wear Lilly dresses in order to feel a part of the organization on the Bridgewater campus.

Another part of Greek life that is unique on campus is that designated Greek housing is not allowed. This encourages Greek organizations to be more community conscious. And although there's no houses and BSU is 60 percent commuters, there's still a close bond between members.

What's even more amazing is the sisterhood in the sororities. No matter your background or different interests, I can say I've experienced firsthand that sisters will be there for you if you need them, because judgement is at an absolute minimum. The diversity of women in the sororities, based on lifestyles and interests, makes it almost impossible to feel like an outcast.

When going out for sororities at Bridgewater, the organizations look for women who would be compatible with the ideals and values of the sorority. Outside of that and being in good standing, sororities here are very accepting and open minded.

This may or may not be my plug to join, but it's that much more of a reason to be a part of the amazing girls in these organizations!
