I never thought I would gain so much from joining a sorority. However, I have gained an abundant amount of people and learned many things. Here are a few of them.
1. Sisters
GiphyIt may sound cliché, but these girls are my best friends, future bridesmaids, girl gang, and ultimate supporters. They are there through the highs and lows and love me no matter what.
2. Creativity
GiphyWhether it's crafting for big/little week or date functions, there is always something that's needing a touch of creativity.
3. Experiences
GiphyThere are so many experiences that I have been able to enjoy because of my sorority. I have been able to volunteer, attend sports games, and go on adventures alongside my sisters.
4. Leadership skills
GiphyI have been able to see what good leadership looks like and how to model myself after that. Although leadership positions aren’t offered from the get go, I have been able to join committees and voice my opinion in a very professional manner.
5. Role Models
GiphyThese girls are some of my biggest role models from the alums pursuing their passions in the real world to girls on campus teaching me what a great sister looks like. I am so grateful to have women who I can look up to in every aspect of life.
6. Networking
GiphyI learned to network from the very beginning of recruitment. I have continued this to help me connect with alumni chapters and sisters at other universities. This networking has also helped me do exponentially better outside of my sorority and in the real world.
7. Responsibility
GiphyI have learned how to be more responsible in every area of my life: socially, academically, and personally.
8. Passion for philanthropy
GiphyPhilanthropy is a core value for sorority life and it quickly became a core value in my life. I have gained a passion for helping out my community and using my voice to influence society.
9. Advice
GiphyAdvice, advice, advice. I always have an influx of advice whether it’s for what clothes to wear to which classes to take. It’s great to have other perspectives when things seem overwhelming.
10. A home away from home
GiphyI have a community of women who support me, love me, and have fun with me. There is a safe, loving environment to pursue what makes us happy while also being able to grow and change.
