Joining a sorority was never on my To-Do List growing up. It wasn't something I ever saw myself doing and sometimes I still can't believe I actually did it. But then I found Chi Omega and I honestly can't see my life without it. Here are some things being a Chi Omega has taught me.
1. My sisters will always be there for me.
Even when you are at your lowest of lows, there will always be someone to pick you up when you need it. There is always someone I can call at 3 o'clock and the morning when I am having a mental break down and she will drop what she's doing (which is probably sleeping) to make sure I am okay.
2. Fights happen but at the end of the day, you're still sisters.
If I were to say there was never a disagreement or two I would be lying. But no matter what the argument my sisters are still are still my sisters and I will always love them no matter how many arguments we get into.
3. Make-A-Wish is the best philanthropy.
Nothing beats that feeling when you make a wish come true. Seeing the smile on our wish child's face makes everything we do worth it.
4. Big/Little Season is the best season.
Whether you got a Little or not, or received a Big, you gained a new family. These are girls you would go to the ends of the earth for and seeing their faces on reveal day makes it so much sweeter. These are girls your are tied to for the rest of your lives and they will always hold a special place in your heart.
5. I will always have someone who will tell me the most brutal of truths.
"Don't wear that outfit" or "Maybe you should delete that picture" becomes so much easier to hear when it's from someone you trust. Let's be honest, if you were to hear those comments from your mother, you'd probably ignore her (or at least I would, sorry mom) but, there is just something about hearing it from a sister that makes it all too real. They've got your back for the long run.
6. There is no such thing as a typical "sorority girl".
If there is one thing I know for sure about Chi Omegas, is that we are anything but ordinary. We have some the most uniquely beautiful girls in the nation and the "typical sorority girl" trope is total trash. Take me for example, short dark hair, kinda chubby, total nerd. Not two of my sisters are exactly the same and that is what makes my sorority the best. There is always someone teaching me something new and there are so many different opinions to be heard. I wouldn't change any of them for the world.
