Go Greek, But Also Unique!

Panhellenic Recruitment is great, but don't overlook other sororities out there.

Go Greek, But Also Unique!

Recruitment season is upon us, and hundreds of girls are anxiously waiting for it to start. Social sororities are great organizations, and I know many people who love them, but there are other Greek organizations out there who offer supportive environments, social functions, and people who are interested in the same things you are.

Many people want to go Greek to find a sisterhood, meet new people, become more outgoing, and a variety of other things. All of these can be found in smaller, non-social sororities however. There are several perks to joining each type of sorority, but a few for joining non-traditional Greek organizations are below.


1. The dues are typically cheaper.

Social sororities can come with a large bill, and while small Greek organizations still have dues, they normally are considerably smaller than social sororities.

2. You know the entire sisterhood extremely well.

Some people have told me that social sororities can be so large that you can see someone wearing your letters who you have never seen before. By joining a smaller sorority, you get the chance to easily get to know the entire sisterhood.

3. If you join one catered to your major, the amount of events they hold will be reflective of how much time you can spend going to events.

If you join the sorority for theoretical physicists, you probably won't have mixers every other night. But you will still get plenty of chances to be social.


This coming recruitment, I encourage you to go Greek, but also to look at all the Greek chapters at your school. You may just end up finding your home in a quirky professional and social engineering sorority!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
