Like some of the other women, I had always wanted to be in a sorority since I was a little year. Its funny because no one (except my cousin who is 7 yrs older)is Greek in my family. I had seen them on TV and read about them in my teeny-booper books (I think Sweet Valley Twins is what did it, anyone remember the Unicorn Club/Sorority?? ) never thought about the partying part, but more about the bond the girls seem to have with one another. My senior year in HS in class one day we were all taking about what we wanted to do in college and I remember one of my friends going, "Tonya (my name) is going to be in a sorority. I remember you telling me in third grade that you wanted to be the president of one." And remember thinking, WTF is she talking about.
I joined mine, because it was something new and what got me hooked is when the alum for our IHQ told us during recruitment is that,"This is YOUR sorority. You set the standards and make the traditions." It was something that we got to create even though AGD is established in its rules and traditions. Plus like I said it was the idea of that "bond" and I missed having girl-friends. Most of my close college friends were guys and even though it was my final year I still felt something was missing.
