Before going through fall rush, I was absolutely horrified. I didn't know if I would find my "home" and I was scared that it wouldn't be the right home. I was SO WRONG.
Accepting my bid into Alpha Sigma Alpha has changed my life completely and I really and truly have no idea where I would be without this amazing organization.
Greek life comes with a lot more than what people think it does. Aside from the charity events and weekly meetings, you get to connect and form a bond with so many girls that it can be overwhelming. I have found girls who will be my friends for the rest of my life and it is SUCH an amazing feeling! Greek life has made me want to be a better person and has helped me tremendously get out of my shell and make friends.
When something bad, good, funny or sad happens, your sisters are always there to help you through whatever you're going through. It only took about a week for me to realize that my sisters were going to be there for me anytime I needed them. There is nothing better in this world than knowing you have 30+ people in this world to help you when you're going through something. I have never felt more love than I do being a part of a sorority. After just one semester I have already made more memories than I can count. It is so awesome to have people by your side who are up for anything.
One of the biggest perks I've witnessed in my short time of being in Alpha Sigma Alpha, is that you get to give back to the community that's giving you these amazing opportunities. Sororities are NOT all about partying and boys. They're about your philanthropies, academic achievements and other volunteering opportunities. Most people cringe at the thought of having to do volunteer hours, and don't get me wrong, sometimes it can be exhausting, but once you get there and you're with all your sisters, it can really take the pain away. Doing anything with my sisters is seriously the best. There's always going to be a fun way to do something, and when you're there with your sorority, not only are you giving your organzation an awesome name, you're having fun and making memories.
I will always encourage people to Go Greek because of the amazing impact it has had on my life. I wouldn't give up these memories or opportunities for the world.
