I agree-- I loved my experiences as a collegian and I treasure knowing that as an alum I continue to meet wonderful people and I am still having the time of my life being Greek! Sorority membership is what you make of it; it can be 4 years or for life. It's up to you!
My greatest experience with my sorority has to be my move from Florida to California a few months after graduation (I mentioned this on RedFox's recruitment thread, too). I packed whatever would fit in my car and took my best friend along for the ride (she is a fellow sorority sister!). We had the most amazing time seeing the country and taking little day trips to places like New Orleans and the Grand Canyon, staying with friends and sisters all along the way. And when I moved to LA, it was my sorority house roommate's older sister (also a Greek) who helped me find a job. And then when I joined the sorority alumnae assocaiton out here, I felt instantly comfortable and have made some of my best friends in LA through the association!
College was a blast-- football bus rides, socials, recruitment, formals, being on exec board, Homecoming, Greek Sing, Candlelightings, serenades, meeting tons of people, intramural sports, decorating sister gifts and sharing road trips, classes and the college experience. But like with anything in life, I know the good times just keep getting better and the best is yet to come!
Yay, recruitment will soon be starting!!!! I can't wait to read your threads!
