Why My Sorority Has My Heart

Why My Sorority Has My Heart
ZTA

I know people always write stories about their sororities, but I want to share why I have fallen completely in love with my sorority.

I came to UNO entirely on my own, and felt like I had no one. I was home sick and lonely and felt kind of out of place. Then came the day when I walked into ZTA, and my world flipped upside down.

Joining ZTA was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. The girls are some of the most loving, compassionate, caring, genuine, and kind people I know. We support each other and have each others backs. We are truthful with one another and better each other every single day. Zeta Tau Alpha has truly given me a home away from home, and that makes my heart so unbelievably happy.

Zeta Tau Alpha has helped me become a stronger person. It has helped me learn to serve better, learn better, and love greater. We focus on excellence and being the best versions of ourselves. We strive for academic success. We strive to show others true beauty. We strive to show others what endless love and unconditional friendships look like.

ZTA has not only allowed me to grow stronger, but it has also shown me that it is okay to lean on my sisters. It is okay to ask for help and guidance. It is okay to need someone. The most beautiful thing is that they will always, always, always be there to catch me when I fall.

Our philanthropy, Breast Cancer Education and Awareness, is so important. The passion our girls feel for it is so inspiring. I love the smiles we see on survivors faces when they know we are there to support them and love on them. I personally have learned so much from our Philanthropy which has helped grow me as a person. The heart we have for our philanthropy is just so amazing to me, and makes me fall even further in love with Zeta Tau Alpha.

Sisterhood is not all about cute clothes and fabulous pictures. Sisterhood is an unbreakable bond of girls who will go to the end of the earth just to be there for one another. It is being real with one another when that might not be the easiest thing to do. It is being able to call someone who might not be your best friend and know they will come running.

My sorority truly has my heart, and I would not want it any other way.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
