Why Joining A Sorority Has Made Me A Better Person

Samantha Chaney

Last August, I went through sorority recruitment, and I can honestly say it has been the best choice I have made so far in my college career. I have met so many people and learned so many things that I will take with me through the rest of my life.

The girls I have met will be in my wedding, and I have only known them for roughly six months. We still have seven semesters to grow and learn together.

I knew going into this experience I would make some new friends and learn new things, but I did not know to what extent these things would happen. Sorority life is not just all partying, Lilly Pulitzer and meetings. It is so much more. I have learned things about myself I would have never found out.

I have learned about leadership, responsibility, time management and a million other little lessons I am not even aware of. I have learned that there are a lot of people out there who have it a lot worse than I do, and helping them is one of the best feelings in the world. Being a sorority woman is inspiring.

My sisters push me to be the best I can be, and are there to pick me up at my worst. I honestly do not know what I would have done with out all of my sisters during my first semester of college.

Knowing that I have over a hundred girls who would wake up at 2 a.m. if I needed them is one of the most powerful things I have ever been a part of, and I wouldn’t trade this experience for the world.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
