I would say I'm a people person, but I wouldn't sit with random people at lunch, I wouldn't try and make an effort to branch out, and honestly I probably wouldn't have been at the library as much as I usually am if it weren't for greek life. I honestly thought my life would be completely studying and maybe some TV on the weekends. I can say my first thoughts about college were almost completely wrong.
Yes, I do study a lot, but I hardly ever study alone. In all honesty, I am hardly ever studying for a class one of my sisters is studying for, we just truly love each others' company. And in the end studying isn't just all of us dying in one room, it can turn into a pretty fun time. That isn't the point, though.
The point is I know someone is always going to be around. I meet new people all the time and would have never met them if it weren't for my sisters. I can always count on someone wanting to get Qdoba, Starbucks, or Papa John's with me and I love them so much for that. I also found people who love to be a part of things as much as I do.
Greek Week events, philanthropies, and events I had never even known existed are all I look forward to because I get to do them with my friends. If I weren't greek, I would have never been able to be a part of amazing causes and meet so many people along the way.
I've grown as a person and realized I'm way more than the person I was in high school and have found a side of me I didn't know existed, all because I was encouraged by my sisters to try things outside my comfort zone.
I could never regret going greek. I've loved so much about it and it has changed my life and how I view my relationships with other people. I've learned it's okay to talk to people even if you may never talk to them again, it's okay to try new things, and that someone will always be there. I'm glad I don't have to dread the idea of coming back to my room most days and only do homework because my sisters are the reason I feel like I have constant support each day to do more than I thought I ever would.
