Sorority Life :)

I love my sorority! We had a meeting tonight; while there I couldn't help but look around at my sisters and be extremely happy! There are about 65 amazing girls that I might have never had the opportunity to meet. Girls that are all different, interesting, and unique. It is such a comfort to be sitting in our house, and feel perfectly at home. I can be me, and not have to think twice about anything. I can't help but feel like an idiot though. Bc I always knew that I wanted to be in a sorority, but didn't rush my freshman year bc of one certain individual! I HATE that now!! I have missed out on two years that could have made my pretty awesome college experience even better! It is also sad but true that my rushing as a Junior hurt my chances with a couple of the sororities on campus. It's understandable that they want "brand new" girls that way they will have the whole 4 years to be involved. Where in my case I'll have 2 maybe 2 and a half. The sorority that I am in is the best possible fit that I can imagine, but I can't help but wonder if it might have worked out differently had I rushed when first entering college. Greek life is so much fun. I have met so many people at the swaps and socials! I thought before that the Greeks were somewhat snooty, but there are snoots in everything. Most of them are genuinely cool people.

Of course there are bad aspects to anything. As the stereotypes go Greek, actually frat, parties are pretty intense sometimes. There is an abundance of alcohol, (absolutely no one cares about the legal age), there are people smoking everywhere (yuck), and I've even seen some people stoned out of their minds! The availability, of alcohol, was the temptation for me. Although I've just recently turned 21, my couple of drunk experiences took place before I was of age. So I have pushed past this aspect of soro life now. I don't want to be one of those girls that you see at frow (frat row) that can barely walk, or throws up all over the sidewalk. I've seen both of these and many more. Beside the humiliation factor of the next day and later events, there is my faith. As a Christian, getting drunk is not a very good way to show my love for God. I want people to see me as a shining example of a true Christian on my walk with Jesus.

So just remember that Greeks don't have to be drunks, sluts, rude, or rich kids. Thought for the day: Live the life you love, and love the life you live! :)
