3 Reasons You Need a Panhellenic Best Friend

Just because you don't wear the same letters, doesn't mean you aren't better together.

When you accept a bid from a sorority, you gain however many sisters that your sorority has members, plus sister from other chapters all across the nation. Yes, you may find your best friend in the sorority, and you will do everything with her. But one thing sorority women fail to realize is that you not only get your individual sorority sisters, but you also get every other Panhellenic woman as your Panhellenic sister. Sometimes you even find a Panhellenic best friend. This is your support system outside of your individual organizations, but who still knows your daily struggles and triumphs as a sorority member. These are the reasons why you should be thankful for your Panhellenic best friend, or why you should aspire to one day find one.

You can find her anywhere.

You may find a Panhellenic Best Friend (PBF) at a social, in one of your classes, or just in your circle of friends. I found mine in my major field. We take all the same classes together and support each other by encouraging one another to remember to do homework and texting each other to see if we're going to make it to class.

She is your unbiased support system.

The great thing about having a PBF is that when you are having a rough day and feel like you don't want to talk about it with one of your sisters in your organization, you can talk with her about it. Y'all may not wear the same letters, but she understands sorority life and how great - and frustrating - it can be at times.

You can only learn from her.

Everyone does everything differently. Having someone who can give you an unbiased opinion on a situation is possibly the best, and most morally sound advice you can receive. A Panhellenic friend can give you that because she is indirectly involved with everyone, directly involved with you, and non-directly involved with your organization.

Having a best friend who is a Panhellenic member is amazing. Everyone tells you that you will get so many new sisters when you join XYZ sorority, but they never really emphasize the true blessing it is to be Panhellenic sisters with over millions of women all across the world. Be thankful for your Panhellenic Best Friends, they deserve as much love as your sisters.
