To the Girl Thinking About Going Greek
Brianna Polka

College, the best years of your life. But why? When you are in college, especially when you come in as a freshman, you can reinvent yourself. You can really be yourself for once. You can find new friends, in a new place, with a whole new outlook on life. Maybe you will even decide you want to go Greek. Or maybe you will think you don’t want to go Greek. Let me tell you something that may shock you, I never ever thought I would go Greek. EVER. But I did, and it was the best decision I have ever made.

College is new and scary, but it is new and wonderful. What better way than to make friends and do good in the world? But why join a sorority then? All we do is party and sleep around right? Well, what if I told you that is incorrect? You would think I was a liar. But being in a sorority is not about finding the hottest party of the weekend. It is about becoming part of something bigger than who you really are.

Joining a sorority is beyond amazing. It is becoming a sister with a group of strangers that you may have never talked to before. It is about coming together as one. It is about being an individual in a group of people that you share a common bond of sisterhood with. It is about loving each other. It is about being the best person you can be. It’s about being there for your sisters and having people to be there for you when you need picked up off the ground.

So, why should you go Greek? Because if you don’t you may miss one of the biggest opportunities in your life. At least get out there and meet the sororities on your campus. If you go and don’t like it, maybe it isn’t for you. But maybe you will walk up to a group of girls and fit right it. Then you may find your home.

Without my sisters, I wouldn’t be the person I am today. They push me to do amazing things that are bigger than me. They push me to get good grades and do good by everyone out there. They love me in the good times in the bad. They love me when I don’t always love them for telling me the truth. I love my sisters, I love my sorority and I stand by Greek life 100%.

GO GREEK!

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
