This is one of the things I LOVE about my chapter - we confounded all the stereotypes of sororities. We weren't all gorgeous, or rich, or the most popular. I am so proud of the amount of people that said to me, "Before I met you guys, I hated sororities!" We opened a lot of people's eyes up to the real meaning of Greek life - sisterhood and friendship, and a bond between fiercely independent women who still can come together and celebrate the differences between us.
I don't think I would have ever joined a "Suzy Sorority" type of chapter. If anything, having the support of my sisters made me LESS conforming, and I felt freer to be myself.
