5 Truths About Being In A Sorority

Yes, it's the obnoxiously cute pictures "throwing what you know," but it's SO much more.

5 Truths About Being In A Sorority
Rachael Dugo

1. It's something so much bigger than yourself

You are one of a million girls. You have sisters all around the nation who are each living an individual life, waking up doing thousands of different things with thousands of different issues and cultures, yet you are all connected by what really is, "the bond of sisterhood." You all share the values of your sorority's philanthropy, and value your chapter unconditionally.

2. It's a break from reality

Sometimes, college really sucks. So it's the simple things, like walking into chapter to see that one sister who always cracks jokes, going to events to take a break from studying, or maybe it's even just being with a sister who's going to be in the study room with you until 4 am. Sometimes, you just need a break- even if you dont know it. You can always count on your sisters to ease the stress.

3. It's the time of your life

It's the competition of Greek Week, dancing for hours a week to win a giant trophy for the recruitment room, screaming and chanting alongside of your best friends, crafting, sisterhood retreats, sing-a-longs, road trips to unknown places, Relay for Life, movie nights, signature events, caf dates after chapter, another closet of clothes to look through for a night out, adventures around your city and even more. It's the whole college experience and THEN some. It's life with 100+ best friends, which is pure happiness.

4. It builds you as a person

Being in a sorority has a ton of networking opportunities after college, but while you're still an active sister you have a long list of positions that will test and help grow your leadership abilities. From pledge class president to president of the whole sorority, you will always have the chance to step out of your shell and become a leader.

5. It's unconditional love and support

Whether you're in your room at 4 am crying, or need advice on what professor to take for a class, a sister is ALWAYS there and ALWAYS has the answer. Being in a sorority means you're never alone in this crazy thing called life, and at the end of the day, having someone to love and support you is all one could ask for, or all one really needs.

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.
