I was always the girl that said I would never join a sorority because I always thought it was a waste of time and money.

But once I got to college, I changed my tune. I ended up going through formal recruitment and finding my home in Alpha Chi Omega.

Yes, there are a lot of people who believe that Greek life is a waste of time and money, but with everything, you have to put something in it to get something out. And the age-old statement that "Sorority girls are just paying for friends" is completely incorrect.

Being on the executive board for my chapter has shown me that the money that you pay in your dues will also help pay for all the events, like the movie night where you got to eat free pizza. It's only free for you then because of the dues that get paid by every member.

The formal and semi-formal are all because of the dues, as well, and some of the shirts that you don't have to pay for are because of this. There are so many fun things that you get to do, and so many experiences that you can't get anywhere else.

It helps you get out of your comfort zone because it makes you talk to a lot of people and go to a lot of events that you may not have been likely to go to.

Best of all, though, it helps you find lifelong friends and make connections with people that will last forever.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
