Most girls come into college wanting to rush their first year of college. Some girls assume that it is not for them.
When I started college, I did not do Fall Rush. I was one of those girls who decided that sorority life was not for me. I thought sorority girls were overly dramatic and that it was very expensive.
Well, I was wrong about judging them before getting to know them personally. Weeks went by throughout my first semester. I met a girl at our local Lizard Thicket. After meeting her and learning that she was involved in Greek Life, then I knew I wanted to seek it.
After meeting the girl again and her sorority sisters, I knew Chi Omega was my home. No, I did not go meet all the other houses. I had a connection and I felt right at home with Chi Omega.
Greek Life is a life outside of your usual life. You meet so many new people. Literally. You find your new girl gang or your lifetime best friend. One of my favorite things about being in a sorority is the events. The social events make you more involved while being in college. Being involved while being in college is very important. I cannot stress this enough.
The cost that comes with being in Greek Life is very expensive. But overall the activities, the friends, the memories, and the opportunities are all worth it in the end.
Branch out of your shell, if you've thought about rushing into Greek Life. It is a new chapter in your life full of adventures. If money is your issue, they will work with you. College is full of stressful but fun moments. Go get involved in new things. Greek Life is a great one for some people.
