Yah, here I am floating about, as Artimis says.
Why did I go greek? Several different reasons...among which the most important was the opportunity to embrace and be embraced by a legacy, and to do good things through the bond. Also, the chance to have sisters: I have just one sibling, a brother.
Why did I choose Alpha Sigma Kappa? There was a niche to be filled, both in my heart, and on my campus.
And the time was right too: there were several other women on campus, majoring in engineering and the sciences, who felt a need to *belong* and be bonded by more than just friendship.
I wanted to give of myself, and yet not be burdened by having to give of time that was best spent studying, or by having to give money (I'm with you on that, BFulton), just for the sake of belonging.
I also wanted to ensure that my personal goal of professional success didn't get superceded by the equally important need to find a niche...hence Alpha Sigma Kappa.
To be a friend, a mentor, a volunteer...and through the process become a successful engineer, and *still* be involved as a sister - that is why I joined Alpha Sigma Kappa.
