10 Relatable Things for an Oneonta Sorority Member
Caitlin Lawler

Coming to Oneonta as a transfer I was scared I wasn't going to have any friends cause everyone made their friend group freshman year. Then I realized wait Oneonta has Greek life... Even though I never saw myself as the girl who would join a sorority, I am so happy I did.

1. Rush week is the best and worst week

During recruitment "rush week" it is a week full of events for people who are thinking about joining Greek life. During this week you meet a ton of new people who will hopefully be interested in joining Greek life, you get to hangout with so many different people and see if they would be a good fit for your sisterhood....As amazing as this sounds it is very time consuming and very hectic.

2. Bid day is the best day

At the end of rush week we had out Bids to girls we think would be a perfect fit for our sister hood this day is filled with all the Greek organizations, you get to see and meet the new members of each organization. plus you take a bunch of cute pictures, and come on what sorority girls doesn't like to take pictures

3. When wearing your letters you low-key feel so cool

Whenever I wear my letters either on campus I feel so honored to be part of such a great group of girls, wear those letters loud and proud, you'd be lying if you said you never wear your letters because i have about 40 plus sorority shirts that I wear all the time

4. You always have a shoulder to cry on

There is about 60 plus girls in every sorority on our campus, I know if I was having a bad day anybody out of the 60 girls would let me vent to them and instantly make me feel better

5. You don't need a boyfriend to know someone loves and cares about you

When I was going through a rough breakup all my sisters were there for me when i thought no one would ever love me again, knowing that they were there for me just goes to show how much they care about me

6. Summer is too long without your sisters

Over summer my best friend in my sorority lives 4 hours away from me. By Mid June I couldn't take not being by her side 24-7 So obviously I made the trip to go visit/ surprise her.

7. You will never eat alone at the dining halls

With 60 plus girls your bound to see one of them in the dining hall the same time you are there

8. Time Management is your best friend

From chapter meetings, to community service, to IGC events its very time consuming and you have to be dedicated

9. You need to master being able to talk to random people

During rush you meet a ton of new people, some people you like some people you don't like you have to be able to hold a conversation with anyone and everyone even if you don't like them, and if you cant hold a conversation things can get awkward very quick.

10. Dues are expensive

Dues are the worst part, but that is what you get when you join a sorority, a happy bank account from working all summer, turns into a sad bank account very quickly... is it worth it? 100%

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.
