I guess I had a less than favorable opinion on greek life as a freshman, and then I was heavily involved with student groups as a sophomore and junior, along with wedding planning. Last year especially two of my organizations worked with several fraternity and sororities on philanthropy/social justice projects and it really changed my opinion on greek life. Now that the insanity of wedding planning is done and I'm settling into married life I'm looking to get more involved in campus life again.
Last year I was on e-board for two of the organizations I was in, and I decided not to run for re-election because at the time I felt overwhelmed and I didn't see this year being any easier. I think that was the main reason I signed up yesterday for recruitment- the semester has been TOO empty, and I feel very passionately about the philanthropies of several of the sororities on my campus. Of course, I'd be thrilled to be in ANY of them, and even if it was a sorority whose philanthropy I had not worked with before, I'd love the opportunity to expand my knowledge of the philanthropic culture of our city.
The grad program that I am looking into has a strong focus on community service and leadership development, so I can see myself remaining involved in greek life just because of the encouragement to be active members of our living/learning communities.
