The last article I wrote, Being A GDI Girl In A Sorority, seemed to be relatable for a lot of girls. However, some girls thought it seemed like a little bit of a bash on my sorority and Greek life as a whole. So, I would like to take this opportunity to explain more about my article.
My article is more about feeling like a little bit of an outcast in a group of girls and not caring so much about what everyone else cares about. Even though at times you may feel like an outcast, you actually have a lot of friends. These friends become lifelong friends. I am so grateful to my sorority for giving me this bond with girls that are some of the funniest, sweetest, wildest and best people I have ever met. I would not give my friendship up with these girls for anything. There are some many things that are great about a sorority that I would like to touch on.
1. You get a T-shirt for every occasion.
Every time your sorority gets together, you get another shirt. I have never heard anyone complain about getting T-shirts. It feels like you never have to buy another shirt ever again.
2. It's easier to make friends.
If you are a shy person or not that good at breaking out of your shell, then you can still make friends. The great thing about being a sorority it that you all have at least one thing in common. It makes it so much easier to become friends with someone if you know y'all have something in common.
3. You always know someone in class.
Whether you are just walking around or heading to a new class, there always seem to be someone wearing your letters or another sorority's letters. Whether or not they are in your sorority, you can sit next to them in class and talk about Greek life. It's nice to walk into a new class, see someone in your letters and be able to go sit next to them and instantly have a friend in your class. You always have a study buddy and always have someone to chill with.
4. Your friendship will last a lifetime.
Whether you know it or not, the friends you make in your sorority will be your friends forever. My friends in my sorority are some of the best people I know. I would not change them for the world. If you want to go out, stay in or study, then these girls will always be down.
My sorority has brought so much to my life. I am so glad to be a member of an organization that has brought me so much. Rushing is one of the best decisions I have made. It not only put me into a great sisterhood, but it also introduced me to some great people who are not even in my sorority. I wouldn't trade it for the world.
