The Good in Greek Life

The best thing about belonging to a group like a sorority is the fact that it makes you feel exactly that way - like you belong. No matter where you are on campus, you know that there is bound to be another member of your same group no more than a block away. She is your sister, and the two of you have been through things together that others will never be able (or allowed) to understand. Other friends are still great, but they do not share the secrets and stories that are exchanged between you and another member of your sorority. Sure, these social clubs have an air-head reputation and are one of the most stereotyped groups that women can belong to. So why do girls in colleges everywhere still try so hard to get in them? Why do young women sob when they don't get the house of their choice at the end of recruitment week? Because everyone wants to feel like they belong somewhere. Wearing the letters of a sorority that match the sister's standing next you you says that you belong to more than something than just your own name- you belong to the name of your chapter too. There is no greater comfort than knowing that you are not alone. You have support, strength, and sisterhood when you have a home in the Greek community, and I am so thankful for the amazing one that I have found here.
