What Greek life is, and can be, for you.

Find Your Home, Find Youself

With a new school year rapidly approaching, everyone is in the process of setting fresh new goals. Getting better grades, making new friends, joining a club, getting more involved on campus, or just bettering yourself in general, are just a few of the common goals of students. What’s a great and smart way to somehow bundle up and accomplish all these goals at once? Join one of the amazing a sororities our great university has to offer.

Now, before you toss this article aside because you don’t think fraternity or sorority life is for you, let's talk about the future and what you are doing after you graduate. We will all be headed out in the great big world going in to interviews and sending our resumes all across the country to all the jobs that or degree makes us applicable for. Wouldn’t you want to turn in a résumé with copious amounts of charity work, group organizations, clubs and, not to mention, many honorable grades? Sororities and fraternities push you to be the best you can be so you can go where you want to go.

My best friend's grand-big just got a fabulous job at UPS because of her outstanding achievement throughout her years in college. The woman interviewing her happened to be an alumni of that very same sorority. They were able to share laughs and the assurance that they were part of a group that went above the expectation, not only as collegiate members, but into their adult lives, as well.

Am I saying that you are going to be interviewed by someone who formally wore your letters in college? No, but what I am trying to say is you have a great opportunity to gain a lot of connections and meet many people who can help you get to where you want to be. Hopefully, you are starting to see that joining a fraternity or sorority isn’t just for yourself. It’s about joining a larger group of men and women who genuinely care and fight for a better future. Isn’t that why we are all in college to begin with? A better future?

My sorority became my home away from home, the place I find comfort every day. These are the women I run to when I need a friend, when I need a neck to hug or a shoulder to cry on. These are the women I can call to share times of laughter, success and triumph. These are the ladies who love me so much they push me to study over those notes one last time so I ace my test, who push me at the gym so I am healthier, and help me smile each day so I can be a stronger woman. They push me in ways that if you look at them individually, they seem minor. All together, it is them helping me find myself and to become exceptional.

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.
