Sorority recruitment.
Ask any girl who has experienced it and they would tell you that while it is often more stressful than fun, it is more than worth it in the end. The opportunity to be a part of a group of like-minded women striving for their own goals and the good of others is something that is special to every sorority woman and has been for decades.
And so, to all the critics of greek life, I say that my own experience as a sorority woman so far has been nothing but beneficial, in my own life and so many others. Here are just a few reasons why going through sorority recruitment is worth it.
Lifelong friendships
From the girls in your gamma chi group to girls waiting in the Starbucks line in the early morning, genuine friendships can come from anywhere. The shared experience of recruitment is like no other, and it can create bonds with girls you might not have met otherwise. Lastly, the sorority you join becomes so much more than a club or a house that you eat and hang out in. Recruitment gives you a second home and girls that feel like family.
Personal growth
By going through recruitment, and joining a sorority, you take the first steps in a journey that will continually shape you. As a member of the greek community, you are presented with so many new opportunities to be involved within your own organization and wider university community. Your sorority will push you to succeed academically and socially and to become the best version of yourself, the woman you were meant to be.
Impact on others
Each sorority with a philanthropy that gives back to a specific cause, and hosts events and fundraisers to donate money and supplies as well as volunteering directly. Being in a sorority helps you become service-oriented, and giving back to those in need is something you carry with you as a sorority woman the rest of your life.
