Trust me when I say I am not the typical sorority type. I am not girly, I do not craft, and I’m not really even a fan of glitter. I hate getting dressed up for formals and, honestly, it’s a serious accomplishment if I wear a real bra to class. Needless to say, the typical sorority stereotype does not fit who I am. Coming into college, I was not 100 percent positive the sorority life was for me. I knew I wanted to "rush" to decide, but I couldn’t see myself actually having 100 friends who were girls. That concept was completely foreign to me, considering I grew up around my brother and all his friends and their little brothers. "Girl talk" was not my thing. Obviously, however, I rushed and joined the sisterhood of Chi Omega. Bid day was a lot to handle. Lots of screaming females running at you, almost crying tears of joy. I was actually terrified, but I pushed through and focused on the fact that these women, most of them strangers, showed me more immediate love and excitement than I have ever seen before. Within the year, I had met my best friends, whom I do anything and everything with and trust more than words can even describe. Sororities look superficial from the outside; they seem to only care about looks and parties and hookups and drama, but I am here to say that they are infinitely more than that. For me, my sorority is my support system. They are the women I aspire to be, the women who pick me up when I’m down, the women who make me laugh until I cry. They are a beautiful representation of diversity, creativity, skills, and passion. Every day I know that I am lucky to have them. It took me almost transferring schools to realize what an amazing sisterhood I am a part of. My best friends were there for me in a way I never could have imagined they would be. I never realized what an influential part of my life they truly were and really don’t know where I would be without them. I’m sure this sounds dramatic to those who do not appreciate or actually hate on sorority life, but I implore you to examine the system and notice the love that sisters have for one another. Would you honestly not enjoy having a support system full of incredibly talented individuals? Would you not want to feel the comfort of having an extensive group of friends who you know you can trust? Sorority life is more than crafts, glitter, PowerPoint-ing for Instagram pics, and going out together on a Saturday night; it’s about love, friendship, and family.
