Joining a sorority was probably the best decision I have ever made. I whole heartily believe that the girls I have met since joining have made my college experience ten times better than what it would’ve been without them. I recommend going Greek at CofC because of these reasons.
1. You will be able to compete in Pep Supper
Pep Supper is an annual event here at CofC where fraternities and sororities raise canned goods for the Lowcountry Foodbank. Along with raising canned food there is a banner competition and a dance competition that everyone competes in.
2. You get lifelong sisters
Since CofC is a smaller school, each organization is smaller than what you would be a part of at a bigger school. This allows you to get to know each one of your sisters on a more personal level. These girls will be the sisters you wished you had growing up, and now you have 140+.
3. #GreekConnected
This is one thing I like about CofC, all of the sororities and fraternities support each other. Whether it’s each other’s philanthropies or events they are hosting on campus. We love to support each other.
4. You’ll always have some event that you can go to
Mixers, date parties, blood drives, tabling, Greek week games, or movie nights. There is always some sort of Greek event on campus.
5. You meet all sorts of people
During Panhellenic recruitment, you get what is called a Phi Chi group. Within these groups you will meet girls with all different personalities and styles. After recruitment is over, you will still have relationships with these girls and make friends with girls in their sororities as well.
6. Helps you adjust to moving into college
At College of Charleston, recruitment begins before school officially starts. Therefore, you get to move into your dorm early. This gives you a week to adjust to the dorm life with the girls who are also going through recruitment. Having these girls around you allow you to make friendships and have someone by your side during the stress of recruitment week.
7. Your sisters are always there for you
Your sisters are always down to go on a cookout run at midnight or cut class to go to the beach (don’t do this too often), or just talk to you.
I will always recommend girls (and guys for that matter) to join Greek Life because of all the benefits I have received through my first year at the college. I love having sisters that surround and support me constantly. They have and will always push me to be the best possible person. Registration for Panhellenic recruitment at CofC is now open so go register now and go Greek so you can receive these benefits and make your first year of college great!
