Why I Miss My Sorority

To the Crazy Organization: Kappa Pi Zeta

Why I Miss My Sorority
Author

As post-grad life begins to settle in, I can’t help but get a little emotional about not going back to school. Of course, I should be jumping for joy because I graduated from the University of Redlands and took advantage of every class and travel course I could; but there’s apart of me that misses my sorority the most.

Pictures are being posted of rush and lip sync and other fun outings. One of my sister’s actually did a spread on sustainable clothing and reusing clothes. She took the time to take pictures of her sister and advertised it around campus. Shout out to Ali for that!

I miss the endless laughter that comes with a group of girls and the amount of craziness we get ourselves in and out of. I miss the long Sunday meetings we all dreaded to go and I miss Meatless Mondays and the urge to eat meat in front of the vegans because of their reactions (Ha.) But what I miss the most about Kappa Pi Zeta is the overwhelming amount of love we all have for the Earth. At school we spoke for the trees- no joke. We made presentations about recycling and how students could recycle on campus. We held film screenings to educate humans on where their food came from and how to live sustainably.

After I graduated I didn’t realize how uneducated people were about the world. At the ranch I worked at I set up a recycling bin and then sorted through the plastics each week to better the place I live. My co-workers probably got annoyed with me by the end of summer because I would leave little notes around the Staff Cafeteria about how to recycle cardboard boxes. Whatever.

Every single girl in my organization holds a dear place in my heart because of her driven personality to the change the Earth. So has rush comes to a close— I remind you all to be kind, mindful, and keep spreading awareness. It goes by faster than you realize. Enjoy the long meetings, the functions, the date nights, the parties, and the sister bonding events. You never know when you’re going to discover that kind of love again.

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.
