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."

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.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
