5 Reasons I Love Sigma Alpha Sorority

Reasons my sorority is awesome.

May 24, 2016

In 1978, a group of women from The Ohio State University decided they wanted more than the Greek system offered. Thus, Sigma Alpha sorority was born. Sigma Alpha is a professional and social sorority helping its members to grow in their love for agriculture. Though most of the sorority are apart of the College of Agriculture, anyone of any major can join the sisterhood.

When I was a freshman at LSU, I was interested in Greek life. However, I didn't know anything about it so I didn't rush the fall semester. Before I recently switched majors, I was an Animal Science major. I learned about Sigma Alpha sorority in one of my animal science classes and was immediately drawn to this organization. I rushed the spring semester of my freshman year. It was the best decision I have ever made. I grew close to the girls in my rush class as well as some of the active members. Here are a few reasons I love my sorority:

1. The Sisterhood.

Sigma Alpha is a smaller sorority which makes the girls in it more like a close family. I feel like I can go to any of my sisters for anything. I know they have my back and I have theirs. I felt apart of the family since the first day I rushed.

2. Agriculture.

Agriculture plays a very important part of our everyday lives. Agriculture is the food we eat and the clothes we wear. I've learned so much about agriculture through this sorority and have gained more appreciation for it. One of the events we hold each semester is called "Ag in the Classroom." We visit different schools in our area and teach them things about agriculture.

3. Friendships.

Through Sigma Alpha, I have made friendships that will last a lifetime. Everyone in the sorority are sisters and friends.We have fun and love each other as sisters and friends. I wouldn't have some of the best friends I have today if it weren't for Sigma Alpha and I wouldn't trade them for the world.

4. My Big.

My big is one of my best friends. She helps me to be the best woman that I can be. I know that I can go to her for anything and everything and I don't know what I would do without her. After our big/little reveal, we connected instantly and I'm so grateful for that. I have the best big ever.

5. Our Crazy Love For Animals.

One of my favorite things about Sigma Alpha is how crazy everyone is about animals. I'm a cat lady and most, if not all, of my sisters are cat ladies as well which I absolutely love. We tend to bond over cute dogs and cats. Even our philanthropy has to do with animals. We volunteer a lot with Companion Animal Alliance. It's so much fun hanging out with the cats and dogs there.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

11 Ways To Live The Best Life You Can

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Sam Houston State University

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

It would be so much easier to just pay someone to do it for you

1. Figuring out when to start

2. Searching through list after list to get everything you need

3. Shopping for deals

4. Getting bins to put everything in

5. Figuring what you can’t live without

6. Going through clothes to find what you need

7. Finding out your siblings took something from you

8. Fighting with your parents.

9. Trying to plan things with your roommate

10. The fear of forgetting something

11. Move in day

Relatable moments from one of the best shows I have ever watched.

1. When you fail that midterm you studied so hard for.

2. When your crush finally texts back.

3. When payday comes around.

4. When you accidentally like someone's picture from 108 weeks ago.

5. When someone takes your unassigned assigned seat.

6. When your favorite character in your favorite TV series dies.

7. When that guy/girl you’ve been crushing on agrees to go on a date with you.

8. When you have so much to do, and such little motivation to do it.

9. When someone asks for your last fry.

10. When you try a new health-food craze.

11. When you get new clothing.

12. When you check your bank account.

13. When they're serving good food in the dining hall.

14. When someone tries to tell you what to do.

15. Or just your thoughts about life in general.

We all have that "I don't care" attitude.

1. Most students just take life day by day.

2. That means procrastinating, one day at a time.

3. College students don't mind dressing like crap sometimes.

4. In fact, dressing nice feels weird.

5. College students get so stressed that they contemplate dropping on a daily basis.

6. But most find another solution to deal with that stress.

7. And that solution can be pretty cheap. Anything over $5 is expensive.

8. One of the only things college students will spend money on is coffee.

9. College is just really expensive and you never forget how expensive it is.

10. But hey, we're getting a somewhat high-quality education, right?

11. We all really just want to pet dogs all day.

12. And eat pizza for every meal.

13. And stab the next person who asks us what we want to do with our life.

14. However, despite the stress and student loans, college is amazing and there's plenty of reasons to smile.

Thank you, April, for inspiring us with your wicked relatability.

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

1. Wallow.

2. Cry.

3. Get Angry.

4. Tell Someone You Love Them.

10. Say No.

11. Accept Love.
