Never in my entire life would I have ever thought that I would be in a sorority. This past year, I went through fall recruitment and let me tell you something I wouldn't change a thing. Being the first one in my family to ever join a sorority or to go to a college far away from my parents, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I know every girl says this but I love my chapter with all my heart and I'm so glad that I have them in my life!!!! So here are five reasons why you should go Greek!

1. Forever Friends

Aside from being sisters, I have met so many amazing and wonderful women that will literally be my forever friends. Joining a sorority gives you a chance to meet girls that you might've been too shy to talk to in the first place or to meet people outside of your chapter. With that being said, going Greek will bring you out of your comfort zone and allow you to meet people and make friends with so many people!!!

2. Brings You Out Of Your Comfort Zone

Like I said before, going Greek will help bring you out of your comfort zone. Your sisters will push you to do your best and motivate you to do things you probably wouldn't have done before. Without the help of my sisters, I probably wouldn't have run for an exec position. I'm so thankful for each and every one of them because they allowed me to become an even better version of myself.

3. Connections, Connections, and Connections

Aside from being in a sisterhood, there are so many connections that going Greek allows you to have. Who knows one of your sisters might know of a job opening and get you connected to the manager to get that job! Everyone genuinely wants to help each other and that's why you should go Greek, to find girls that are genuinely friendly and want to help you out!!!!

4. Raising Money For A Great Cause

Going Greek allows you to raise money for your philanthropy or for other organizations. This past year, I was a part of an AMAZING organization, Charleston Miracle, that raised a total of $115,678.54. Everything leading up to Dance Marathon might have been crazy but let me tell you it was an experience that I will never forget. Going Greek allows you to take part in these amazing experiences and it gives you a different look at life!!! #FTK

5. Fun Events

Okay so even though school might be very stressful, going Greek allows you take part in some fun events that your sorority might have. The amount of sisterhood events or social events that you can take part in is AMAZING. I am so excited for this semester because ya homegirl has some fun sisterhood event for you ladies at Alpha Kappa. Not only are they fun but, they allow you to create a bond with a sister that you never talked to before!

Now I know going Greek might not be for everyone but, if you do expect these things and even more. I am so excited to be reunited with the ladies at Alpha Kappa and I can't wait to recruit some amazing ladies!!!!!!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
