Why My Sisters Are All I Need

"I have had the courage to dream even bigger because of my sisters believing in me and pushing me to aim high."

Why My Sisters Are All I Need
Phi Sigma Sigma-Iota Alpha

I never thought I would be the one to join a sorority. I never thought that I would be one of those girls who did "sorority squats" and wore Greek letters on my shirt. I never thought that my time in college would be anything but dull. I never thought that I would have an amazing support system of over fifty women that would push me to grow in every way possible, every day. The first time I met these women, I knew I was home and I never looked back. Being a part of something so big with the women I call my sisters is truly all I need.

Being in a sorority builds your confidence and gives lifelong friendships.


"I've made deeper friendships through this organization than I thought I would be able to in college. Additionally, I have gained so much confidence, leadership ability, and have had the courage to dream even bigger because of my sisters believing in me and pushing me to aim high." -Rachel Christie

You have a support system away from home.

"My parents don't support my major choice, but my sisters will always be rooting for me all the way." -Ali Shaina

You have connections all across campus.

"Joining a sorority gives you so many connections, on and off campus. Walking around campus with someone you know around every corner is the greatest feeling." -Kelsey Alviar

You are loved and supported.

"When I think about it, I think about all of my best friends that laugh with me, love me, and make my heart full of love. It not only helps build you as a person, but it makes you feel like you're a part of something bigger than yourself." -Alyssa Wiater

You are never alone.

"I love my sorority because you never feel alone. You know your sisters will always have your back and will always support you no matter what." -Lauren Kesterson

It's not Four Years, It's For Life.

"There's nothing more magical than sharing in bonds with hundreds and hundreds of women who are striving to make their community, their neighbors and themselves stronger in so many unique ways. You can't find a more rewarding way to become a woman of substance and character through leadership, service, and sisterhood. It's a lifetime of opportunities and never ending support. 'Not 4 years, 4 life.'" -Sheela Joles

You grow in ways you never thought was possible.

Something in me made me realize one day that I needed to find my home, and I found it in my sorority. I have been given the privilege to lead in my chapter, serve in my community, and gain more friendships than I ever thought I'd have. I can't thank my sisters enough for how much they have and continue to impact my life. When you hear people say "It's not Four Years, it's For LIfe," they mean it.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
