7 Reasons Rush Is SO Worth The Wait And The Work

Even though it may seem like it will never end. Push through, bid day is the best day.

Chi Omega is my sisterhood and I wouldn't want it any other way.

The friends you make along the way

Personally, I made so many friends, especially in my rush group, and it was so cool to meet so many more people that I might not have met another way.

The connections you make

Some of the connections I made during rush with my now sisters are ones that I would not trade for the world. I think it's so cool how you can just automatically click with someone you just met and it was definitely one of my favorite parts of the whole process.

You have excuses to look cute, even if your feet are killing from your heels

Honestly, I love getting all dressed up and cute to go places so I didn't mind the dress codes, but I did have some nasty blisters from the shoes I decided to wear. It's OK though because I looked cute!

The opportunities that really are endless

Through sororities, and Greek life in general, there are so many opportunities that allow for leadership, creativity, the list could go on and on. I think it is so important to take advantage of all the opportunities your organization has to offer, I know I will be.

Greek events

Especially at URI, the events such as greek week and individual sorority/fraternity events are so much fun. I cannot wait until Greek Week already and I know that it's everyone's favorite week of the year!

Having a place to now go to when you need to relax

I feel so welcome at my sorority's house now, even if I'm just having a bad day or want to see my sisters. I think that it's super important to have a place that you really can call home and go to when you need some extra love.

Finally, BID DAY!

I had watched videos of bid day pretty much all of high school so I was SO excited to finally experience it myself. And I absolutely loved every minute of it. There were some points where I didn't feel like it was real but I will always remember my bid day as one of my favorite days ever.

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.

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.
