Being in a sorority was something I never thought I would do. I'm not very girly, I don't like to gush over feelings, and I thought I didn't fit into the Greek community. All of this was bases off of what I've learned from movies (honestly what do movies actually teach us?), and what society has made them out be: dumb blondes that like to party.

My first semester at college my roommate was a former Vice President of the sorority Alpha Sigma Alpha while they were on our campus. She is the only reason I even attended interest parties, and I've so grateful that she made me go. I did not think I would even enjoy myself and that I would come back saying, "See I told you I wasn't cut out for this." This was far from the case.

I attended two interest parties that first semester; Phi Sigma Sigma and Kappa Zeta. When Maddy said "you just know what group you will want to belong to the first night" I thought it was a joke. It wasn't. I walked into Phi Sigma Sigma for the first time that evening, and the rest is history. I was really nervous at first, but when you are in a house full of sorority girls you don't really get the option to be quiet because they all want to get to know you. I'm not joking when I say everyone. That night I'm pretty sure I met everyone in the sorority and they were all genuinely interested in meeting me.

I left the Phi Sigma Sigma house with a new desire to be part of something I thought was never attainable. I was not able to take a bid from them due to not having a GPA with it being my first semester. I was more excited about this semester because I would finally be able to accept a bid if I was extended one. (Yeah it sounds as weird as it was.)

My family wasn't expecting this decision from me at all. When I told them about it the first time, they figured I would find a new interest and not really go through with it. Now, my mom has thirty-three other girls to start to keep track of. They all see how happy this organization makes me and how much I enjoy being with my sisters.

Greek life isn't for everyone, but I believe everyone should at least go and check out the interest parties. It may surprise you to see what it's really like to be go Greek during college. It has already changed my life for the better and I've only been doing this officially since September. Take a chance and check it out; I promise you won't regret it.
