F.

also -

G. - I'd just like to add the lifelong friendships I'll take from it, and the fun that we all have (the others don't fit those exactly). But both those equally, more or less.

Well said. I agree.

F.

I've become a better person because of my fraternity and through the practice of its ideals.

I'm also saying F.
It is the social skills developed within the fraternity that makes all the rest possible.

Well F seems to be the early leader, so i'm jumping on the F bandwagon because it was what i was thinking b4 i read the options, if you all could see the difference in me from high school boy to fraternity man, what a change http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

E. I am a pretty resourceful person, so I get all of the things out of membership, but E was the one that I didn't have (or felt I did not have) before I joined.

F

F, most definitely! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

F, but as someone else said, G - Lifelong friendships not only within my own chapter, but with other chapters and national folks as well.

I'm going to agree with shadokat and say both F and G-lifelong friendships with all my Greek friends! E is very important too. Can I have three answers?

F.

F followed by D (more for the personal issues part than the academics part).

i'm going to have to break from the mold here and go with d, because i know i will always have some of my brothers in my classes so, right there is a built in study group, and if u or a bro has a problem and needs help everyone does what they can or more to help out

B just barely beat out D. It's really hard to meet people on my campus. TKE helped alot

No funny squiggles, just bold letters: TKE

G to meet more chicks

No seriously F, Cause its made me a leader and quite a smart ass.........

D and B. D for help with college issues, and B for meeting new people and making new friends. I met so many people when I was greek, and I still talk to some of them to this day.

I would have to say F. I have grown so much in my short time in Theta. I went 2 years being non-greek, and within this past year, I have grown into a different person. I am more confident, accomplished and have a firm hold of my life. My sisters have been there for me and taught many great life lessons that I wouldn't have without being in a sorority. I can say this because I had a happy life before Theta, but now my life is richer. The bonds that we share, our sisterhood has made me stronger. I cherish every moment with my sisters.

Thanks to everyone who has posted an answer, but I need MORE of you fellow GC'ers to give your opinion if you haven't yet!

F

F, no doubt. I can't begin to list all of the things that Kappa has done for me.... if it weren't for the lessons Kappa has taught me (and continues to teach me), I would be much less of a person... and that would be the greatest personal tragedy, I think!

*sigh* Thanks, KKG!

Oh, Kappa Kappa Kappa Gamma,
I'm so happy that I am a

Nobody knows . . . how
happy I am!

F!

Well me throw mine in G!!!!
I read that as all of the above! If you read my post on # 1 or # 2, they are ALL intertwined and cannot really put one against the other!!

Great post!

I would have to say A

As a member of Sigma Gamma Rho I have done things that I know I would have never had the opportunity to do otherwise.

I'll have to go with F, personally... But I know many of my sisters more benefit from D.

Leslie, I noticed you are from LA, where do you go school, and what sorority are you in? I have a lot of friends at UCLA.

Just bumping this back to the top for some more replies!!
