Visiting the headquarters of your beloved sorority is an experience you will never forget. It makes you realize why you joined your organization in the first place, and you gain a newfound appreciation for the history of the organization. It may not be what you expect, but it will be so much more.
Visiting nationals you expect to be amazed by the design and interior of the building and headquarters, but those are the just a minor piece of what the headquarters has to offer. My organization's headquarters was not what I expected. It was small and just like any other building, but that is not what matters.
It was the history within the building that made me realize how great of an organization I was a part of. You get to see original photos and writings from your founders and things that made our organization what it was. It is amazing to get to meet the people that you have to study for the national exam.
Headquarters not only documents our organization's history, but is also the place where our future will soon be documented. One day, my name could be floating around those halls because of great things my chapter did for my organization.
Make sure you get the chance to visit your organization's headquarters at least once in your life. It rekindles the love and passion for your organization and everything it has given to you. It reminded me of the great women I have met, the opportunities that have been given to me, and what is in store for me in the future because of my organization.
I can't wait to go back. I can't wait to have the same feelings I had as I was looking through old scrapbooks, and looking at old writings about our sorority. I know that even though I was only there for a little bit, the memories I made will last me a lifetime.
Headquarters reminds you of why you chose your organization.
