I didn't live on campus so it was kind of hard for me to meet new people outside of my classes. I also just wanted something to be a part of. They were colonizing a new sorority on campus and I went to all their events to try and become a founding member, but they didn't end up taking me. A friend in one of my classes was in another sorority and they had continous recruitment because they were really small. But by the time that I could join them, their nationals had come and taken them off campus because of something that happened with that chapter's previous officers.
Fall '05 semester started and I was sitting in one class and a girl came in with a tote bag that had Omega Phi Alpha written on it and I had never heard of that GLO before. I then went and looked it up on my school's SORC list and visited their website and just was really interested and found out that they were going to be holding rush. So I went to their events, loved their active sisters, and just fell in love with the organization so I pledged and became an active sister!
I love OPA so much! I felt we had a purpose because of all the events we did and we always loved being together! I don't think I would have found as great of sisterhood if I had joined the other sororities that I previously tried to. This was home for me! I love this organization so much that I'm trying to start a new chapter of it at the school I transfered to!
