5 Reasons Why I Love Kappa Phi

After a full year of college life, I decided to get out of my comfort zone and register for spring rush. I was altogether nervous and excited to potentially be a part of a sorority, but about a week before welcome night, I suddenly did not want to be a part of it. After much prayer and thought, I decided that Greek life was just not for me. I felt like the majority of this way of life and group of people did not fit well with my personality. Still, I desired to apart of something bigger––to find my niche. Finally, after a year of waiting, God opened up a door for me––the opportunity to become a part of a Christian sisterhood, Kappa Phi. It is a club that makes Christ the center of everything they do from bible studies, community service and worship nights. While mirroring many of the same Greek traditions such as Big/Little Reveal, tailgating and socials, the club seemed like exactly what I was looking for. And, oh, was I right. Here are just a few reasons why my college life has been forever changed by Kappa Phi:

1. It has given me a sense of unity in my spiritual life.

Finding a church while balancing a social life, classes and work was such a struggle for me. Not only do my sisters encourage my walk with Christ, but they strengthen it by attending church with me. One of the many traditions of this sisterhood is a day of worship called "Kappa Phi Sunday." The day is filled with Jesus praising, yummy food and many laughs.

2. My sisters keep me accountable as a woman of God.

With social media consuming many of our lives on a daily basis, my faith can be shaken in a variety of ways from just trying to fit in with the perfect selfie, to knowing when to stay silent in a time of immaturity. My sisters keep me grounded with love and let me know when I have crossed the line.

3. It has challenged me as a follower of Christ.

It might be a cliché', but the statement rings true: I have to walk the walk if I'm going to talk the talk.

I can't sit in the caf and gossip about the latest drama just to turn around and go to a bible study where I'm a leader who holds an office in the club. This sisterhood has continually strengthened my faith, showing me that if I am willing to be a leader in this club, then I am also a leader on campus as a follower of Christ.

4. It has made me feel like I am a part of something bigger than myself.

Not only do we have a ton of fun praising Jesus, but we serve God by serving others. Kappa Phi is built on sisterhood, study, worship and service. All across the nation, different chapters of Kappa Phi serve their community in a variety of ways throughout the school year.

5. We are "sisters in Christ and sisters for life."

Kappa Phi has given not only given me countless memories, laughs and joy, but it has opened up my eyes as a kingdom worker and woman of God. This club continues to bring joy to my life, and I cannot wait to see all of the joy it brings to other college women wanting something more in their life and in their faith.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
