My Sorority Makes Me Happier Than My Boyfriend Ever Did

Your sorority sisters are basically your boyfriends except with more estrogen.

My Sorority Makes Me Happier Than My Boyfriend Ever Did

So many people bash on sororities saying "You pay for your friends", "Everyone is fake", and "Sorority girls are annoying". Honestly, I was one of those people to say stuff like that, but after joining a sorority I realized those opinions are far from the truth.

As a sorority, you spend a ton of time together. You live together, attend events together, volunteer together, cry from sleep deprivation together, and have each other's backs. If you put the effort in to get to know your sisters, then it is nearly impossible to not consider yourself a family or be happy when you see them.

There are, however, weeks when you see each other every single day, and although you love them, you get tired of them. We all get stressed out with our own schedules and with each other at some point and try not to take it out on each other. Sometimes though, the inevitable happens and we say things we don't mean out of frustration and anger.

Your sorority sisters are basically your boyfriends except with more estrogen. The only thing with a sorority is- you can't break up with them. They are there forever, always connected. Once a sister, always a sister.

But the same doesn't always happen with boys. You may not always be his girlfriend.

My last boyfriend made time for me when he could (at first), and he would pay for my meals whenever we went out. It was obvious (or so I thought) by the way he looked at me that he was generally interested in me and cared about me. There was enthusiasm when he saw me. But that enthusiasm died. Soon enough he wouldn't have time to meet up with me. Soon enough he turned into a liar. Liars don't sit well with me, and he is no longer a friend of mine.

But the thing is, my sorority makes me happier than my boyfriend did because my sorority is genuine. We are not "fake". We stand by each other at all times, we hang out with each other when we can, we hold chapter dinners (no free meals included, unfortunately), and we have an amazing officer board who keeps tabs on people.

Our VP of Recruitment has a thousand times more enthusiasm and love for us than my ex will ever have, and our President is most the patient, giving, and supportive sister that I could've ever hoped for.

Basically, after summer ended and the first chapter meeting came up, I was ecstatic to see them. I felt at home. A ton of sisters said hi to me, welcomed me back and asked how I was, and I gave hugs to the girls I kept in touch with over the summer.

The seniors who graduated are no longer with us, much like my ex, but the thing about the sisters who are gone is that I will see them again and they will continue to be connected through the global web of my sorority. We did not split not knowing why what happened happened. Our sisterhood did not end with everyone being blocked on all social media. It ended with a full closure statement (hug included) and love in our hearts.

To my sisters, I love you and I'm so glad we chose to be a part of each other's lives because at the end of a long stressful day, talking to you keeps me sane, calm, and positive.

And to my ex, you made me happy once, but it's a good thing we are over because my sorority makes me way happier than you ever did.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
