With the new school year quickly approaching, some girls could be considering joining a sorority. Thankfully, I gave it a shot. Joining a sorority was the number one best decision I made while away at school and here are my reasons why.
- Not all sororities are like you see in movies. While those look like lots of fun, I am incredibly thankful mine was not. Watching Pitch Perfect, minus the pillow fights, is enough for me.
- Having such an incredible support system is something I really needed while being away from home for the first time. Having the ability to text twenty girls at once when looking for a study buddy is so incredibly motivating and helpful. Thanks to eligibility requirements, you all need to keep your grades up, meaning there is always someone to do homework with.
- Weekly meetings with your sisters is more fun than work. While there are real issues to discuss, you are sitting in a room with so many people who care about you and that is incredibly comforting.
- After joining a sorority, you have automatic best friends. While it is hard to narrow it down to just one outstanding memory, something I will always remember was working a haunted house with my sisters. We got all dressed up and sat freezing all night long. I will never forget that.
- In times of trouble, you have a whole girl gang on your side. While drama is a bad, bad thing, it is nice to know there is a whole group of people to back you up if you happen to come across some.
- Denny’s is never a good idea unless you are there at 2:00am with your favorite girls. Trust me, I have tested this theory 10,000 times and I promise I am right.
- If I had it to do over, I absolutely would. By the end of my first semester, I made the decision to transfer. Having such an incredible support system made this decision so much easier. I do not have a single bad memory of being in a sorority. The only thing I can complain about is not having my gals here with me now.
