Home Away From Home

Recently, I have gone through Recruitment. I rushed to find my "home away from home." Sigma Kappa is my forever home. I am so happy and thrilled that I will have those girls by my side throughout the rest of my collegiate career.

I am a sophomore. I did not rush during my freshman year because I wanted to take the time to focus on my academics. I wanted to basically plant my feet first and I have been successful with that, so I thought it would be the right time to join one of the three great Sororities on my campus. When going through Recruitment, I had a tough time deciding on the second night. And on the third night? I knew exactly where I belonged: Sigma Kappa.

I found my forever home at Sigma Kappa. I cannot think of anywhere I would rather be. I honestly feel at home when I am with my sisters. I feel like I belong somewhere. I know that those girls will be here for me when I need them. For these reasons, I knew I needed to be apart of the Sigma Kappa family.

Not only do I have my sisters, but I have had my best friend by my side the whole time. I have friends in each of the sororities, so I went into the houses clear and open minded. I wanted to find the place that I belonged. My heart sister is my best friend, Haley. She has been here for me since the beginning of freshman year and I do not know where I would be without this girl. She has literally been my rock through everything. When I ran home to Sigma Kappa, she was the one I ran too and of course, we hugged and we both started to cry.

This was the moment I knew for sure that I made the right decision. I have the best Heart Sister anyone could ask for (and best friend). I have amazing sisters. I have a support system. I have a place to call home. I have a place where I can be myself and no one will judge me. I appreciate being accepted into Sigma Kappa.

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.
