Coming back to college is what we wait for all summer. We're excited to reunite with friends after a long three months but the one thing I get excited for, over anything else, is to reunite with my sisters. With recruitment season right on our tails, I want to highlight why going Greek and choosing my sorority has been the best decision I've made at college.
1. It gives me my home away from home.
Going away to a college six hours away from home was tough in the beginning. When I joined my sorority I instantly got the feeling that I belonged to a home and had a second family here that made me feel comfortable.
2. I have a constant support system.
No matter what I do, I know that I have a group of best friends that have my back. I know that I can confide in any of my sisters and that they will support me in anything that I do. At times when things aren't going well, my sisters are my "rocks."
3. I am a part of something bigger than I can understand.
With hundreds of chapters around the nation, my sorority is something bigger than I ever thought I would have the chance to be a part of. Although I may not personally know some of my sisters from other parts of the country, sisterhood still exists. Through our philanthropies, we are able to make differences in peoples lives around the country and the world.
4. I love each and every one of the girls in my chapter.
I feel so lucky that I have a good relationship with all of my sisters and can truly call all of them best friends. As mentioned previously, they are always there for me, can never fail to make me laugh, and I couldn't imagine my college experience without them.
5. It's a commitment for life.
Greek life doesn't end the second you graduate college. Or the month after, or even a year after. You're in your sorority for life. This is one of the things I love the most because it allows me to make true, lifetime friendships. When older sisters graduate, you don't lose contact with them. This is where you meet your bridesmaids.
6. I was able to find out who I really am.
This is one of the staples of going away to college. With the help of my sorority, I was able to determine the things that I really care for and grow to be the best person I can really be.
From the outside looking in, you can't understand it. From the inside looking out, you can't explain it. My sorority and my sisters have been the best part of my college experience and I can't imagine what life would be without them.
