I know a girl...


I know a girl...
Who is amazing. She runs a few miles a day, aces her classes, organizes social
events, and participates in all sorts of campus organizations. At night she may
go out and have fun, but she always manages to get everything done.

I know a girl...
Who will let you cry on her shoulder and will be there for you in times of need.
She has lots of friends and makes sure she leaves enough time to hang with them
all. She will give good advice and listen to your every word and thought with an
unbiased ear. She will love you for who you are and accept you no matter what.

I know a girl...
Who will smile even though she didn't have the greatest day. She always brings
her most positive attitude and it's contagious. Those who are around her want to
smile too.

I know a girl...
Who will bring out the best in everyone she meets. She has friends in many
different houses on this campus as well as friends that are not Greek because
she doesn't care what house you're in. Who parties it up at fraternity parties,
but goes many other places at night.

You might know this girl too...
Whether you're in a house or not, everyone knows one of these girls. She is my
sister. She might be your sister, or she might be someone else's. Those that
know this girl know what sororities are all about because she represents them in
almost everything she does.

Sororities aren't about drinking and boys and Kate Spade and Prada. Sororities
are about laughter, tears, friendship, sisterhood, honor, loyalty and love. The
people in my sorority want me to succeed. They help me learn to rise up and
allow others to follow. At retreats we share in times that we will remember
forever. But it's not just my sorority. Homecoming, Socials, Parents weekend,
and other Greek activities have given me the opportunity to find out what is
unique about each sorority, and I really find wonderful friends among them all.
We need to let other people know who we are. Greeks are not exclusive-- they
are merely one group of many.

I have heard the jokes, we all have...about what non-Greek students may think
about us. But I challenge you- prove them wrong. Don't just try to make your
house look good, try to make Greeks look good. Let people know that we are
athletes, we are scholars, we come from diverse backgrounds, and we have diverse
goals. But let them know that we have similarities. We are all in the constant
pursuit of success. We are all working to achieve our goals, and we are all
making friendships that last a lifetime.

So remember...
62% of campus leadership positions are held by Greeks
76% of campus honoraries are Greek
89% of US Supreme Court justices have been Greek
Of the country's 50 largest companies, 43 are headed by Greek alumni.
So be proud, prove people wrong.... Remember that although my sorority may have
different history and ideals than yours, that we all are here for common
reasons.

Pass this along to every sorority girl you know...

We are all apart of the same organization, We are Greek! Be Proud!
