To The Girls Unsure About Going Greek, Here Are 10 Sure Reasons Why You Should

Best. Decision. Ever.

I will admit that I was in your same place one year ago. I had always thought to myself and told others that the sorority life was simply not for me. I signed up for recruitment at the last minute with low expectations, quite frankly believing that I would regret it. Well, little did I know that it would end up being one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life (cliche, but SO true). With that being said, here I am now highly encouraging all rising freshmen to absolutely go for it for all of the reasons I've listed, along with so many more!

1. To be held accountable for keeping that GPA up

Grades matter!!! If you're struggling, there's probably a sister in the class with you or an older one that took the class before you. They'll be happy to help. There are study halls, grade sheets, AND rewards for 4.0s as well!

2. To be held accountable for growing in your faith

This one was personally big for me, as I knew that college was capable of providing so many distractions. I wanted to be able to grow spiritually and to remain on the right path that God had planned out for me. There are so many churches and campus ministries; you can always grab a sis and check different ones out. Within your sorority, you can also plan events like Night of Praise or set up weekly bible studies. It's honestly been such a blessing for me!

3. To be held accountable for making wise decisions

Everything that you do contributes towards the reputation that your sorority has. Not only will your girls hold you accountable for your best interest as any good friend would, but they will also be helping you to represent your letters in a well-mannered way that makes you and your chapter proud to wear them.

4. You'll always have some sisters to call on for help

From "Hey, will you bring me some soup" texts when you're feeling under the weather to cry/vent sessions when you need some advice or someone to simply listen, you know your sistas will come through for you.

5. PAN LOVE!

Short for Panhellenic love. Not only will you have your best girls in your sorority, you'll have plenty of opportunities to develop friendships with girls in other sororities.

6. It's an easy but great way to be involved on campus

@troyphimu/Instagram

By joining a sorority, you'll automatically have plenty of opportunities to be involved on campus. Your chapter will come up with endless creative ideas for campus wide fundraisers and philanthropy events. Bonus: This stuff will end up looking great on a resume, too!

7. I guess the 1,000,000 t-shirts that come along with it are pretty cool, too...

Comfort color tees = a blessing sent straight down from God, himself.

8. You'll never have to go anywhere alone

@troyaoii/Instagram

We girls know that it's dangerous to be out alone late at night. No worries though, you'll always have people to call up!

9. And of course you can't leave out the totally fun events!

Yes, this is typically the first thing that comes to mind with stereotypical sorority life. Although it really is not the most valuable part about it, there is no denying that the social events will be a blast!

10. Friends come and go, but you're stuck with your sisters FOREVER

@troyadpi/Instagram

Once a sister, always a sister. You can expect me to still be calling up my girls 25 years from now to meet for coffee after work or to take a road trip for a weekend beach vacation. There is something about that bond of sisterhood that'll make your sister friends truly unforgettable.

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.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
