Greek Lifestyles: Different Letters, Same Friendship

Greek Lifestyles: Different Letters, Same Friendship
blogs.oregonstate.edu

Let's say you and your best friends all wanna go Greek; two girls get into a local organization while three get into a national. You rushed together but accepted bids from different groups. Your new member process is going to be time consuming, learning your organization and members takes awhile. Regardless, it's tons of fun and going Greek, in any organization, is something I think everyone should at least try.

Every school has different Greek life and styles, but all throughout I've observed that friendships aren't dependent on letters. The bolds on your shirt don't deter you from other organizations. In fact, some of the best friends I have are apart of separate groups on campus. I have two friends who are in different sororities and they're the best of friends. They rushed together but found their homes with different sororities. One girl was welcomed into Alpha Delta Pi where as the other ran home to Alpha Omicron Pi. The bolds they wore after cross didn't effect how they treated one another and that is how it should be.

"It was actually through recruitment that we became friends. Being in different letters doesn't affect our friendship. We may have different sisters but at the end of the day we're Greek together and above that best friends"

"Even though we are in different sororities I think my relationships between my other friends become a lot closer."

Whether you rush, don't or join an organization other than your friends, the letters that you represent do not control your friendships. Going Greek enhances your life, not control it. Friendship is about love and support. Your fraternity or sorority should not only introduce new relationships with sisters and brother but also expand your friendships with other Greek organizations.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
