Why Sorority Girls Are So Much More
DZOE

Being in a sorority is not what it seems from the outside. You always watch movies that portray sorority life to be nothing but a party, and you watch girls do things that no one would ever even think of. When I decided to join a sorority I didn’t know what I was getting myself into, but looking back now I would never regret my decision.

I am a member of Delta Zeta and the lifelong friendships I have made is something that every girl should experience whether you decide to join a sorority or not. As the famous quote around the sorority community says, “From the outside looking in, you can never understand it. From the inside looking out, you can never explain it.” This applies to many non-greeks because all they see is a bunch of girls going out to parties and getting drunk all the time

. A sorority is so much more than the stereotypes society puts on our community. In order to even be in a sorority, you have to have the grades. You also have to keep those grades in order to keep your membership, and you have a whole group of girls pushing and supporting you the whole way through. Your sorority sisters are some of your biggest supporters whether it be in academics, your job, and life in general. When times get tough and you feel like you want to give up on everything, you can always count on those sisters to be there cheering you on. No matter what happens they are always going to love you and be there for you ready to pick you up and put you back on your feet in the right direction. To all those people who think negative things about sorority girls, don’t. We work just as hard in life as those who decided not to go greek. We want to be just as successful as all the doctors and lawyers in the world. So the next time you think badly about someone just because they’re a sorority girl, please stop and think about all the amazing things we do such as raising money for our philanthropies and helping out our community with the countless number of service projects we do. Greek life as a whole is designed to get students involved around campus and teach them networking skills. The success rate of a greek student is much higher than those who have decided not to join a greek organization.

If people would stop judging us and actually get to know what we are involved in and what we work towards, we would be appreciated more and the stereotypes would stop. Greek life has impacted my life in such a positive way, and I want to see it do that for so many other people as well. It truly is your home aways from home!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
