Going into college and truly deciding where I would spent the next few years of my life, I had no intent on ever joining a sorority. When people talked about they would only choose a college based on what their sorority options were, I kind of just played it all off because I thought it was all stupid and pointless. I was the definition of Anti-Greek life. It bothered me when all people would talk about is "oh sisterhood for life", "Greek life or no life", and etc. I found it all to be quiet annoying very quickly when approaching the first semester of college.

When coming into the College of Charleston, I knew I would get involved in school but I never thought it would have been in a sorority. It all started when I was stopped by two girls in Sigma Delta Tau that were offering cookies or brownies to anyone who was interested in going to their informal meetings that following week. I thought "oh sure, why not let's see what actually goes on in a sorority". I went to the first night where it was just a meet-and-greet and actually had some real connections with some of the girls. At first, I didn't think that any of the girls would find any interest in me because all I do everyday is lay in bed with my cats. Coming into the second day of informal, it was game night, one of the best ways I find to get to know people. Within two hours, we played games, talked nonstop, and laughed the whole time. That moment, I felt even closer to strangers that I thought I had nothing in common with.

Sadly, I couldn't finish informal week due to night class and a wedding I went to, but come that Thursday, I was given a bid. I was freaking out on the inside because my mind was saying no don't do it, this isn't your life, don't become a basic sorority girl. My heart on the other hand said yes, do it already, accept the bid, whatever a bid is, just say yes. After receiving the news of getting a bid, I had to do a little research of my own on what a bid is. Come to find out, you get a bid when they like you and want you to join their sorority.

Now that I am two weeks into the sorority, I have learned that it is like no other sorority. Most girls were anti-greek like myself to begin with, there average night is playing computer games or playing on a playstation or maybe even xbox. What I do know, is that these girls have already become my best friends and I wouldn't trade them for the world. Getting to know everyone means going to grab lunch, coffee, heading to the beach of just sitting in the house and talking for hours even. No matter what, going Greek so far has been my best decision ever. I highly suggest anyone that isn't about "that life", take a look at the smaller sororities at your college and maybe talk to them about what they normally do. Most would be surprised how every sorority is actually very different in every aspect.
