It's one of the most rewarding trips you can take.

The Best Parts Of Greek Conference

This past weekend, I was lucky enough to attend Greek Conference with 18 of my sisters in Alpha Sigma Alpha, 115 Greeks from Central Michigan University and around 600 other greeks from different parts of the country. The Christian conference in Indianapolis is one of the most rewarding trips that a Greek who is a christian, or even those who are investigating their faith can take. While there are so many amazing things that happen at Greek Conference, here are the top 10 occurrences that almost everyone faces at GC!


1. The long Drive

Okay, so this technically isn't at the conference yet. But it's the time you get to spend with your sisters or brothers jamming to music in the car getting pumped up for what the weekend has in store.

2. First General Session

If it's your first time at Greek Conference, get ready. The rampage to get into the room and into the front rows of the general session is something exhilarating (and a little bit scary to be honest). Here, you get to know your speaker and start your journey of faith for the weekend.

3. First track

Going into your first track you're wondering so many things. Is this the track for me? Who's going to sit at my table? What are going to do? But all of the questions wash away when you dive into your discussions. When you're table group and table leader are so awesome, you won't want to leave and you can't wait to get back to your group the next day.

4. First night

Sleep? Forget that, you're on a Jesus high. You can't stop talking to your sisters or brothers about what you learned that night and how excited you are for what is in store the next day.


5. Waking up early

It hits you like a train. But staying up late talking was still probably one of the best decisions you've made this weekend (well besides coming). Getting ready might be a slow process, but as soon as you're in your tracks you're ready to go.


6. Breaktime

This is ultimate decision making time. Are you going to eat quick and sleep? Or are you going to eat quick and explore? Or if you're really feeling it maybe you'll catch up on a little bit of homework. No matter what you do, going to explore to find some food in Indy can be the adventure of a life time.

7. Prayer Room

If you were able to experience this room, you know that there are really no words to explain how truly refreshing and perfect this room is. Knowing you are loved by God is truly an incredible feeling.

8. General Session #2

This is where all the feels are starting to happen. Being able to witness hundreds of students who are following their faith just like you is an incredible experience. It is easy to leave the room refreshed and open to everything your faith has to offer. This event is easily the best of the night.

9. Dance Party

If you're into getting dressed up for a them, this is the place for you. For this year, grabbing our best Mathletes and Athletes costumes was so much fun (and a little bit interesting). Hundreds of Greeks dancing in one room to Justin Bieber's "Sorry" will probably be one of the best things I've ever seen.

10. Saying goodbye

This is probably the hardest and saddest part of the whole weekend. You have to leave the conference and go back to school, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you have to go back to living the way you were before. Greek Conference is a life changing experience and leads others to follow a new path after leaving.

Until next year, Greek Conference. I'll miss you.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
