So guess what I’m back to talk about how great Greek Life is. Surprise, surprise. This time is a little different though because I’m gonna tell y’all about how being a Gamma Rho Chi made me fall in love with Greek Life even more.

What is a Gamma Rho Chi?

Well a Gamma Rho Chi is a member of a sorority on your campus that chooses to disassociate from her chapter to help potential new members (PNM) through the recruitment process and in the end find their home on campus. This means that they completely take themselves out of their sorority for about a month so that they can be an unbiased opinion for the potential new members. This is the closet way any active member of a sorority can get to experience recruitment through a PNM’s perspective. Which is really interesting to say the least

Eastern Michigan just had their Fall Structured Recruitment about a week ago and I was chosen to be one of our Gamma Rho Chis. It was truly one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had. I got to help a group of roughly 20 find their forever homes on campus and even though is was tough at times, I still loved it.

I got to become closer with someone in our Greek Community that if it weren’t for this opportunity I probably would’ve probably never met her. She helped me get through some of the tough times that the weekend presented. And she was definitely a person I could lean on throughout the whole weekend.

Whether they know it or not they reminded me how exciting it was to be apart of this community. I loved seeing their bright eyes and bright smiles after they got out of rounds. I know at times that it was stressful for them. but when bid day came it seemed like all that sworry and stress melted away and seeing how happy and excited they were when they received a bid from their chapter made me even more excited for them.

Throughout my whole time being disassociated it made me fall in love with the Greek Community here at Eastern Michigan even more than I already did. I honestly didn’t think that was possible but I guess it is. It made me realize that we are a family that is there for each other through everything. This hits home for me because I found a support system not only in my chapter but I was able to find people outside my chapter that I could lean on and it proved to me that our Greek Life is truly one big family
