My mother was in a local sorority in her small college, and I had two older cousins who were very active members of a national sorority. The cousins were significantly older, and they were talented, sophisticated, and very sweet to their youngest cousin. When we visited them once or twice a year, I loved to hear them talk about sorority activities and look at their beautiful pins, so greek life was always viewed in a very positive light when I was growing up because of them.
My campus did not have one of their chapters, unfortunately. To this day, I absolutely love their organization, symbols and spirit.
While I didn't obsess over it, I wanted to be in a national sorority from junior hi on.
