And the Annual Anti-Greek articles begin....

Also, each sister is encouraged to participate in non-Greek activities on campus, and each sorority participates in its own philanthropy event to raise money for charity.

My sorority, Alpha Gamma Delta, raises money annually for the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation.

Not only is this a good cause within itself, but it also hits close to home for me.

My older sister was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes at the age of 7.

This illness has put her through some very hard times.

She missed a year-and-a-half of high school due to problems with medications.

During this time, she was in and out of the hospital, missing out on the many joys of adolescence.

Unfortunately, this disease has no cure, although it does offer various treatment options.

In her lifetime, she has gone through several forms of treatment, all of which were made possible through research and donations toward it, often made from organizations like sororities.

In the fall, AGD held a fund-raiser to collect money for diabetes research.

During the event, all the sisters pulled together to raise money, which brought out our true sisterhood, contradicting the catty and divisive stereotype attached to sororities.

That's what she wrote a year and a half ago. And now she's ripping on sororities and fraternities for doing service and only doing it to compete with others?

Oh I'm so tempted to go throw this back in her face.

ETA: Oh wait, someone already did it for me. You go, girl!
