why you should go greek | The Odyssey Online
Start writing a post

Whether you're like me and just starting your freshman year, or maybe you're thinking about it in your second or third, you should definitely go greek.

For me, it is only a week in and I already adore my sorority. Being in a new place surrounded by new people isn't as hard when you have your instant girl gang and connections with people who you know will be there for you when you need them.

Sometimes negative stereotypes surround greek life, or you may have your doubts about whether Greek life is meant for you. However, if you do choose to go through the rush process, you will likely find some amazing people to go through your college years with, if not the rest of your life.

At my college the rush process was a week full of talking to people, putting on your best face and it was definitely tiring. However, you're going through it with people just like you who are sharing the pain of blisters on your feet and making that pain feel more bearable because of the sweet moments you're sharing with each other.

This bond that you have and experiences you share together with friends from your rush group is just a taste of what you'll experience when you get into your own sorority. It's corny, and you'll hear it hundreds of times during your process, but you truly end up in the right place with the right people. Which brings me to my next point, TRUST THE PROCESS.

Another thing you will constantly hear that you need to start believing, you will end up where you're supposed to.

Throughout the process of rushing you may find yourself falling in love with a certain sorority, or maybe you went in with your heart set on just one. It is super, SUPER important that you keep an open mind during the process because unfortunately, girls don't always get their first choice.

However, in the end, you have to realize that this probably happened for a reason. You will get into the right sorority for you, where you will mesh with the other girls, and where you will find that you truly belong.

Even if you don't think you're the "sorority girl" type, there's a sorority for you with girls that feel the exact same way!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
