I attended a small all girls high school. There were 52 of us in my class and we bonded so much of the years and essentially became a family. I love the fact that we still do class emails back and forth to each other and I want to find another home away from home at UT. I've always known I wanted to be in a sorority. Bonding with the girls in my grade allowed me to see a little glimpse of how that would be.

I truly feel like this but i don't want to sound like i made it up. Your thoughts are appreciated.

This answer sounds fine, but you really don't HAVE to be prepared with an ultra-planned answer. The chapters aren't expecting you to have one.

Also, don't go on and on. Not saying that this answer is long, but you don't need to go on and on about your reasons. You won't have that much time and the chapters are trying to get to know YOU.
