I never in a million years thought I would be in a sorority.

The high school me was not your textbook definition of a sorority girl. I wasn't preppy, I hardly wore makeup, and I honestly didn't interact with many people. I didn't think I could ever fit in with people like that. Thankfully, I took my best friend's advice to "branch out and try new things", and I found the most amazing group of women I now call my sisters.

My sisters are anything but cliche. Not a single member of my sorority fits the stereotype of a sorority girl. My sisters are intelligent. Not just book smart; my sisters and I have the deepest, most meaningful conversations. They are loyal. I know if I needed anything at any time of day or night, I have over one hundred people I could call to help me out. My sorority sisters are strong. Many of them have had tough tribulations in their lives, and they have held their heads high and persevered through them. My sisters are always a good time. There is never a dull moment with this crazy group of girls.

These girls are my shoulder to cry on, my 2 a.m. phone calls, my motivation to go to my 8 am's, my lunch dates, and my soulmates. Joining a sorority has given me more than friends, it has given me a family. It has given me purpose. I could never picture my life without these phenomenal people. I am forever grateful for my sensational sisters.
