If someone had told me my freshman year of college that I'd join a sorority and end up absolutely adoring it, I'd probably laugh and shrug it off. Even though I initially never planned on becoming involved in Greek life, I have found such joy in choosing to join and becoming a sister of a Sigma Sigma Sigma National Sorority during my sophomore year. I have grown in so many ways and have learned so much about myself and from all of the beautiful women I call my sisters, who surround me. If your favorite letters are Sigma Sigma Sigma, you might identify with one, some or maybe all of these things listed below

1. Your blood type is purple glitter

2. Violets are your favorite flower.

3. Your favorite syllable is "ma" (when you silently correct people when they say "oh you're in Tri Sig.")

4. You know how to rock the skull and crossbones and still look good in pearls.

5. You know when we were set in motion.

6. You wish you were as cool as Robbie Page.
