This is my story of my experience in a sorority. Everybody has a different experience.

I wanted to be in a sorority since my junior year of high school when my sister went to college. I remember helping her move into her dorm and passing Greek Circle.

I researched all of the sororities to find their reputations to see which were the best and the worst. Everyone wanted to be a Zeta and nobody wanted to be an ADPi, or as some people call them '80 pound thighs'. And I was only a junior in high school, so I thought that these were set in stone.

I rushed and ended up getting a sorority that I didn't like much throughout the whole week, until pref night. I got this girl who talked to me about makeup and was actually being real with me.

Time to be cheesy: in that moment I knew I had to 'Be a DG' (ha, get it?).

Bid day came, and I cried when I got my letter, but they were the only house I went to on pref night, so who else would I have gotten?? It was a really awkward day. My bid day buddy didn't have many friends in DG, so we secluded ourselves to the staircase by the chapter room.

I thought that would just be that day, but it turned out to be like that every day. I'm awkward and everyone has their own little cliques like high school. We had groups inside of our sorority, but that's not what I read would happen. None of the articles prepared me for this. I thought we would all be best friends forever and be each others' bridesmaids??? Some girls are like that, but that's not how it was for me.

I met one girl who didn't talk to many people, just like me. We met at a mixer and she was one of my best friends. I realized that I don't need 20 bridesmaids at my future wedding, so I'm perfectly fine with having only one DG bridesmaid.

My big is not my best friend and we've hung out only a handful of times. She actually got into nursing school and I found out through someone else's Snapchat. But that's okay. Don't put all that pressure on trying to find a perfect big. You can always get 'adopted' by someone else, or you can just accept that you don't need a perfect big anyway. If you do find your dream big then props to you, but I didn't.

The articles I read in high school made me think that there was this rivalry between sororities of who was better. That's so not true. My best friend and roommate is an ADPi. My other best friend was a ChiO at another school.

I still love my sorority no matter what. Even if I am the most awkward person in it, and most of the time I feel like I don't fit in.

Without my sorority I wouldn't have learned as much as I have. I have grown so much as a person and my sorority is one of the main reasons. This probably isn't what most of y'all were expecting to read when you opened this article, but the difference between this article and every other one is that not every sorority girl has the same story.
