The Top Sorority In The United States

There are hundreds of sororities in the US, but which one is #1?

The Top Sorority In The United States

As this summer comes to a jolting halt (or a slow and painful end, depending on your point of view), my Facebook feed is flooded with articles posted and shared out of sheer excitement for returning to school. These articles and blog posts tend to be titled things like “Why ____ is the Best Sorority in the Country,” or “Top 10 Reasons Why Everyone Wants a Bid from ______.” I love these posts too, because they give us all a chance to brag about the awesome schools we go to and the amazing organizations we’re involved in. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being proud.

The only problem, of course, is that there can’t be 100 “best sorority” titles in America. So the ultimate question is: which sorority is the best in the United States?

Answer: There isn’t one (sorry if you didn’t see that coming).

Here’s the thing: each individual chooses whether or not to be a part of Greek Life based on their own interests, values, and expectations. If they happen to make the decision to be apart of Greek Life, they choose their house based on those same interests, values, and expectations.

Each sorority has members that make it unique. I was once told, “the letters don’t make you; you make the letters.” I thought it sounded cliché at the time, but now I understand that it’s true. I’m still relatively new to Greek Life, but I can already tell that every single house has a lot to offer.

When you were younger and your teachers and family told you that you were different and special, they weren’t lying. You are living your own life and telling your own unique story, so as long as the decisions you make are based on what makes you happy, don’t let anyone make you second guess them.

Just to be clear, though, I’m not saying that the individuals who write or share articles that are bursting with spirit are wrong. If anything, I admire them for their passion because being proud is awesome. As you go along your own journey, just remember that it’s not a competition. As long as you’re happy where you are, other peoples’ perceptions of your life aren’t important.

There is no such thing as the “Best Sorority in America.” There is no master list that accurately validates the hotness or intelligence of all the sororities in America. More importantly, no single sorority is better than another. They’re just different. If your sorority is the best in your own eyes, that’s what truly matters.

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!

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.
