The 3 Best Things About Being in a Sorority

I always knew that when I went to a big college I would have to find my niche-my family at school. I was lucky enough to find one that will stick with me for the rest of my life- my sorority family. So many people write about how they are not your typical sorority girl. Guess what? There is no typical sorority girl. Every sorority girl is different that's what makes our panhellenic community so incredible. As spring recruitment starts this coming weekend at the University of Maryland I wanted to tell you why joining a sorority can be one of the best decisions of your life.

1. You get to meet some pretty amazing humans

My sorority sisters are some of my best friends. The women of my panhellenic community are kind and amazing women who do great things on campus and for charities. I've made friends that will last me a lifetime. It is not for 4 years it's for life. They will be my sisters for life. I have sisters all over the world some I haven't even met who will only show me kindness and treat me as a friend should we ever meet.

2. You get to have a lot of fun

You get to have fun sisterhood events, formals and bid-days. You have people to study with who will have you falling on the floor laughing at 3 in the morning. You will have sisters who will always have your back and be willing to randomly get food at 10 at night.

3. You have people who will always have your back

Speaking as someone who is chronically injured I can personally attest to this. My sisters have had my back through several injuries, crutches, illnesses and crushing depression. My sisters have been some of my biggest cheerleaders and have always been there when I need them. I can never say how thankful for them.

There are so many reasons why I am thankful for my amazing sisters and these are just a few. So if you have even an inkling to go through recruitment, do it! I promise you that all of my panhellenic sisters are so excited to me you. I hope you find your home away from home just like I did. Good luck and remember its not for 4 years it is FOR LIFE.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
