I thought that I would join a particular kind of sorority when I came to college (I may have mentioned before that I was a little "sister" in high school), but was very dismayed at what I found when I actually got there. It was a lot of the stereotypical stuff you think of when you think of greek life, and as a pre-med, who wanted to pass my classes, who already had friends, and already knew how to party - I just didn't think there was anything greek life could offer me.
That was until a good friend of mine told me about Lambda Tau Omega - a brand new sorority at FSU that was trying to get established. I had heard of them before, but didn't know much about it, but whatever... went to an interest meeting anyway with my friend. I immediately was blown away at how professional, genuine, and DIVERSE these womyn were. They weren't your stereotypical sorority girls, just some really cool people who were trying to make moves. I could feel the bond they had, and as a bi-racial womyn I appreciated their focus on multiculturalism. I fell in love....
And some time later, I became a sister. My friend who introduced me to the sorority is my Ace, and through graduation and grad school I've seen our sorority blossom at FSU. It's been hard sometimes - being post 1930 and all (lol) - because this multicultural concept is still new in the South. But I don't regret it for a second. I love my sisterhood and everything it stands for. Seaquin!!!!!
