Still unsure whether or not you want to join a sorority? It's still okay! Here is another batch of answers to questions about going Greek from some of KU's finest women.

This time around I have 5 ladies who feel that going Greek has made a huge difference in their lives. One of these ladies is even an alumna, having just finished her undergrad, and because of that there is a bonus question I asked her. It's pretty cool to read her insight after being in a sorority for four years.

The ladies interviewed are as follows: Courtney Cody who is a sophomore Delta Delta Delta, Kylie Dever who is a sophomore Chi Omega, Berkleigh Wright who is a sophomore Pi Beta Phi, Nicole Jones who is an alumna of Alpha Chi Omega, and Jessica Pletcher who is a sophomore Kappa Delta.

Again, the questions asked are in bold and their answers are in quotations, prefaced by their initials.

Cody: "One of the areas that being Greek has made a huge impact in my college life is academics. Not only do my sisters push me to challenge myself and do the best I can, but they are also there to support me. With such a diverse group of girls there is always someone to go to fhor help. Even when signing up for classes my sisters were able to guide me to courses or professors they liked. Most importantly, my sisters were always there for moral support and encouragement to do well on my next exam."

Jones: "I would say being Greek has helped me in all three facets now that I've become an alumna. When I first joined, the most obvious benefit as a freshman was the social aspect. I had this smaller community within KU full of girls who wanted to spend time together and within a couple of weeks we all beaome fast friends. Academically, being in a sorority was a great way to meet girls in my major, form study groups, learn about professors whom other people recommended, and more. I knew no matter what class I was in I automatically had a group of girls who were either in the same class as me or had words of advice from years past. Now that I am getting closer to starting my career I can see some of the long term benefits people don't automatically associate with Greek life. I have sisters who are in companies I am interviewing with, I have sisters who have gone through the same Masters program I am about to start, and sisters who are already well into their careers and happy to offer advice or any help that they can."

Dever: "I grew up in Lawrence and knew all of the stereotypes that go along with being Greek. I was very hesitant to rush because I did not know if I fit the mold that was the “typical sorority girl." I am so glad I decided to go through recruitment, though, because it has opened my eyes to all of the unique and different girls that make up my sorority. Every girl is uniquely made, and knowing that I could find a home that supports and builds up so many different types of women was so encouraging. I trusted that I would end up where I was meant to end up, and the moment I knew Greek life was for me was when I found a home that would build me up in ways that I never knew were possible."

Cody: "The moment I realized I made the right decision to go Greek was when my house began practicing for recruitment. This may sound weird, but preparing for recruitment just reminded me of all the wonderful things that my house stands for. It reaffirmed that sororities go beyond what everyone stereotypically thinks of because our purpose is more about creating bonds of friendship, teaching girls skills to reach their goals, and helping others. Seeing all of the things my sisters have done and are currently doing in the community and on campus makes me especially proud to be a Tri Delta."

Wright: "Meeting so many people is my favorite part. The bonds I have formed are incredible and I know they are long-lasting, which is the best feeling."

Dever: " My favorite part about being greek is community. Right down to the heart of it all, no matter what kind of person you are, there is someone in your sorority ready to soak it all up and become your best friend. Functions, philanthropies, and t-shirts aside, the heart of what makes greek life so great is the lasting friendships. These are the type of girls I want standing next to me at the altar one day. You just can’t find that sense of community in many other places."

Pletcher: "My favorite memory so far would have to be the fun carpool rides to and from chapter, or seeing everyone all dressed up at date parties!"

Jones: "My favorite 'Greek-related' memory wasn't really a Greek-sponsored event, but it was the first time I went to a Natural Ties event and I couldn't help but notice how almost everyone there was a part of Greek Life and I suddenly felt so proud to say I was a part of it."

Wright: "It is stressful, but you just need to stay open-minded and keep your head up because the end of the journey will be worth it."

Pletcher: "Everyone always says just relax and be yourself, which is true. I, however, would say don't have any expectations. Just keep an open mind and don't try and be someone you’re not! It's okay to cry. Don't get embarrassed if something goes wrong, chances are it's happened before! Above all, just have fun!"

Jones: "Personally, I can't imagine not going Greek now that I am almost done with my time in college. I've had friends who didn't go Greek, and obviously they still had a great time, but I feel that I got so much more out of college than my peers who didn't go Greek. Almost all the best memories I have from college include Greek life in some way or fashion. The people that you meet through Greek life become your best friends, but they also expect you to become a leader within the Greek community. Whether it be through community service, taking a leadership position, or excelling in academics, your peers in Greek life expect you to become the best version of yourself and I don't know where else you can find that in college."

Thanks for your great insight, ladies! Plus, Ryan Gosling wants you to go Greek, so I mean, how could you not?
