5 Reasons You Should Add A Chapter To Your Story

Coming up this weekend is the University of Cincinnati's formal recruitment. starting Friday night hundreds of women will take the chance of finding their forever home. I can't express how exciting this experience is. I spent my freshman year at The University of Alabama, where I went through the largest Greek recruitment process in the nation with thousands of women. Talk about overwhelming. My freshman year I found my forever home in Gamma Phi Beta, that home eventually followed me through my transferring process to the University of Cincinnati. Even here at UC, I've never felt more welcomed by my sisters. I can honestly say that going through recruitment was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Here's some reasons you should make it one of your best decisions too!

1. Even if you don't think you're the "sorority type" there's a home for you.

I never pictured myself in a sorority, I'm not girly or crafty, but you'll quickly find out there's a lot of us who aren't. Being in a sorority isn't all about glitter and bow ties, we love to have fun!

2.You'll find your best friends forever.

Joining a sorority has given me some of my absolute best friends. Women I can always count on and share the same values with.

3. My sorority helps me to be the best I can be.

I've never been great at school, but I have an amazing support system and so many people to ask for help. If I'm struggling I have someone there to always help me along.

4. You get to help with something you're passionate about.

Every sorority has a philanthropy they're passionate about. We hold events to raise money for our philanthropy, which always end up being a ton of fun.

5. You'll find your forever home.

You'l find a place you'll always feel welcomed, and loved. You'll find women you can count on, women who will always support you.


I've found some of the most amazing women during my journey through Gamma Phi Beta and have had the best experiences with this sorority. I couldn't be more thankful for these women. So take the chance at your forever home and sign up for formal recruitment this weekend. You wont regret it!

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
