I always knew that when I went to a big college I would have to find my niche-my family at school. I was lucky enough to find one that will stick with me for the rest of my life- my sorority family. So many people write about how they are not your typical sorority girl. Guess what? There is no typical sorority girl. Every sorority girl is different that's what makes our panhellenic community so incredible. As spring recruitment starts this coming weekend at the University of Maryland I wanted to tell you why joining a sorority can be one of the best decisions of your life.
1. You get to meet some pretty amazing humans
My sorority sisters are some of my best friends. The women of my panhellenic community are kind and amazing women who do great things on campus and for charities. I've made friends that will last me a lifetime. It is not for 4 years it's for life. They will be my sisters for life. I have sisters all over the world some I haven't even met who will only show me kindness and treat me as a friend should we ever meet.
2. You get to have a lot of fun
You get to have fun sisterhood events, formals and bid-days. You have people to study with who will have you falling on the floor laughing at 3 in the morning. You will have sisters who will always have your back and be willing to randomly get food at 10 at night.
3. You have people who will always have your back
Speaking as someone who is chronically injured I can personally attest to this. My sisters have had my back through several injuries, crutches, illnesses and crushing depression. My sisters have been some of my biggest cheerleaders and have always been there when I need them. I can never say how thankful for them.
