Finding Your Home In Greek Life

Being home has never felt so good.

Finding Your Home In Greek Life
Madison Doan

Going Greek was single-handedly the most amazing choice I have ever made in college. I knew as soon as I met my sisters as one of their own, I made the right choice.

When I got my bid on Bid Day, I never realized just how many sisters I gained that day. That day, I felt like the Grinch, and my heart grew a thousand time bigger. As soon as I opened my bid and saw the crest and name of the sorority I fell in love with and had the biggest connection, that was the happiest I've felt in a while. I ran into my sisters' arms for the very first time, and I knew I was home.

Some people join Greek Life for the wrong reasons, but I knew that I was joining for the right ones. Finding the right sorority is like finding the right wedding dress; you know exactly when you've found the right one. When you do, nothing else could ever compare to the way that your sorority makes you feel.

You know you find the right sorority when you automatically feel welcomed and loved. You've finally found your college best friends; the ones you'll share crazy memories with for the rest of your life.

I knew that my sorority was right for me when I learned their values, their ideals, and what their philanthropies were. I also loved how close they were and how sisterhood was a huge part of who they are.

If you're considering joining a fraternity, or a sorority, I seriously recommend it. Greek Life has changed my life, definitely for the better!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
