What You Can Bring To A Sorority
Emanuel

Being part of a sorority has brought so many great things to me. I have learned so much about myself being in a sorority. There will always be good and bad times in the sorority. But there is so much that anyone can bring to a sorority.

1. Leadership.

Being a strong leader is a critical quality for members of a sorority. Sororities offer a variety of leadership roles, so virtually every member will have the opportunity to chair a committee, lead a project or serve as an officer. It is also important for sorority members to serve in campus leadership roles such as homecoming chair, student body president or as an officer in an academic club. Sororities build a reputation of being a quality organization based upon the campus involvement of their members. Greek leaders are well-respected and are relied upon to serve as role models for others.

2. Civic engagement.

Giving back to others is a fundamental principle of sororities. The groups select a philanthropic focus to symbolize their commitment to community. Members are expected to help raise money and give their time to community service. This important work brings added meaning to the organization and instills a sense of lifelong service in their members. Sorority members have the opportunity to collaborate with other student leaders on joint projects that enrich the campus and community. An awareness of the needs of the community and an interest in helping others is a quality sought in a sorority member.

3. Scholarship.

Sorority members are expected to make academic success a priority. It is not uncommon to find sorority sisters tutoring one another and establishing internal challenges to ensure academic achievement. Many chapters enforce a minimum GPA requirement to become a member or stay active in the organization. Meeting these standards creates members who are strong students and driven to be successful. Sorority members exercise effective time and task management through balancing academic course work and student involvement.

4. Social skills.

Sisterhood is a common term used to describe the lifelong bond among women in a sorority. The social side of a sorority attracts women who are outgoing and interested in meeting new people. Sorority members have strong communication skills, maintain lasting friendships and are committed to developing social connections throughout campus. These attributes help sorority members network with other students and recruit outstanding women to be a part of their organization.

Sorority life is very time-consuming and can take a lot out of you! But, in the end, a sorority is very rewarding and can have life-long friendships with it! I will always be a Theta Phi and will always be wearing my letters!

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
