The best part? That's hard -- there are so many things.

I guess, in a word, it is FRIENDSHIP.

As a collegian, it meant being a part of something successful -- something bigger than myself. It meant leadership opportunities for me. I was never a leader in high school, but my sisters in Chi Omega saw something in me that I didn't even see in myself. When I was given the chance -- I loved it. I soared! It was amazing. That's the reason I'm still involved today. It made a difference in my life. When I attended my first National Convention in 1982, I told the Chapter Visitor who came to my campus that I wanted to come to the next one too. I haven't missed one since. The day I pledged, I didn't care two hoots (pun intended) that I had joined a strong National organization. It was much later that I realized what a difference it makes.
