1. I have become more extroverted

I have always been a complete introvert, but going through the rush process pushed me out of my comfort zone and forced me to talk to so many people. This continued after I was in my sorority. We talk to so many people both in and out of campus, and it has allowed me to build up my social skills and calm my nerves about public speaking

2. I am more involved

My sorority is diverse in every way. Our women are involved in so many clubs and activities on campus, I am always learning something new from them. This has allowed me to explore many new opportunities that I would not have found on my own. I am also more involved within the Bethlehem community through our philanthropy and service events.

3. There's always someone to lean on

No matter what I am going through, I always have at least one sister I can go to that can comfort me. I never realized how much of a support system that a sorority could provide.

4. I'm always learning something new

Because my sisters are so diverse and involved, they are constantly teaching me things I never knew. I have sisters who have shown me basic coding skills, sisters who have taught me statistics (which I still stink at, but still), and sisters who have just taught me how to relax.

5. I've met amazing women and developed lifelong friendships

My big sister and I have already agreed to be each other's bridesmaids at our future weddings. Clearly, I've made connections that will last me a lifetime :)
