Let's be honest: Greek life will always have a bad rep. But sometimes the good that we do doesn't always outshine the negative perceptions. Being in a sorority is so much more than partying and wearing super cute t-shirts. We do community service, raise money for our philanthropies and so much more.
Being in a sorority encourages you to do your best and be your best at all times. Whether you think it or not, people on your campus always know what sorority a girl is in even if they aren't wearing a shirt that says so. Being in a sorority, you grow so much as a person. You might go in a shy little duckling but you grow so amazingly and start taking positions left and right.
Along with being able to do community service for your philanthropies, you find yourself in a new home away from home. Your sisters quickly become your support system. They understand what you're going through and will try completely to cheer you up. Even though times get rough, they will still be there for you. They'll legit love you to the end of times! You can be yourself from the moment you walk into your house on bid day, until the day you graduate!
It's really important to stay on top of your grades. That's another thing - once you join a Greek organization, you're basically told, "You're here for a college degree." You never ever want to be on academic probation, its sucks. You want to make sure you get to go do the fun things!
All in all, being Greek has its many benefits. But it sucks sometimes because you get put in the negative pile in someone's head. Greek life is so amazing, I wish everyone could have the opportunity to rush.
