Greek Lifestyles: Different Letters, Same Friendship

Greek Lifestyles: Different Letters, Same Friendship
blogs.oregonstate.edu

Let's say you and your best friends all wanna go Greek; two girls get into a local organization while three get into a national. You rushed together but accepted bids from different groups. Your new member process is going to be time consuming, learning your organization and members takes awhile. Regardless, it's tons of fun and going Greek, in any organization, is something I think everyone should at least try.

Every school has different Greek life and styles, but all throughout I've observed that friendships aren't dependent on letters. The bolds on your shirt don't deter you from other organizations. In fact, some of the best friends I have are apart of separate groups on campus. I have two friends who are in different sororities and they're the best of friends. They rushed together but found their homes with different sororities. One girl was welcomed into Alpha Delta Pi where as the other ran home to Alpha Omicron Pi. The bolds they wore after cross didn't effect how they treated one another and that is how it should be.

"It was actually through recruitment that we became friends. Being in different letters doesn't affect our friendship. We may have different sisters but at the end of the day we're Greek together and above that best friends"

"Even though we are in different sororities I think my relationships between my other friends become a lot closer."

Whether you rush, don't or join an organization other than your friends, the letters that you represent do not control your friendships. Going Greek enhances your life, not control it. Friendship is about love and support. Your fraternity or sorority should not only introduce new relationships with sisters and brother but also expand your friendships with other Greek organizations.

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.
