The True Life Of Being A Sorority Girl

We are so much more than gossiping about Chad from Sigma Apple Pie.

When I first started college there was nothing I hated more than sororities. I swore to myself I would never join one because I did not want to be that kind of girl. As time went one I began to change my opinion and realize that maybe I did want to be that girl.

Sororities are more than pretty girls going out and partying.

Leadership. Devotion. Confidence. Friendship. Acceptance. Service. Are all just a few things I have gained from being in a sorority. I am able to see changes within myself that I believe never would have been made if I was not in a sorority.

Now, I am a go getter. I am a sister. I am able to put myself out there and not fear rejection. I am confident not only in myself but also in my relationships with other. I am a friend. I am capable of change. I am always willing to put others before myself. I am that girl.

It may not be easy or even seem right for you, but I promise, Just keep pushing through. When times are the hardest is when you learn the most about yourself. Do not keep yourself comfortable, as a matter of fact, make yourself uncomfortable. Try things that you might not always do because you never know the benefits you will receive. I put myself out there, tried something new, and now I am happier than ever, never looking back on it. Being in a sorority changed me-- it made me that girl.

College is the years of your life that give you the opportunity for you to make a better you. Sometimes you can have a hard time finding yourself and realizing where you belong, but once you do it is the best feeling in the world. It may not be easy, but it will be worth it. You will find lifelong friends and learn through the experience all you may need to know one day.

Years from now you can look back and say “I hated those girls” or you can say “I was and still am that girl.”

So, it is time for all of us to come together, no matter what organization you are a part of, and remove the negative stigma around being in a sorority. We are all that we make ourselves out to be and much more. It is not about being the best, but rather doing the best.

Being in a sorority has changed me for the better and I could not be prouder to be that girl.

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.
