My sophomore year of college I had a roommate that I became best friends with. She is an absolutely amazing person, and we share the kind of friendship that you hope to meet in college. I was so happy to meet her and become friends!! We decided to live together again junior year, and that's when I decided to do rush. I joined a sorority on campus and, especially after initiation, was really excited about it.
I had a hard time coming home from socials, sisterhood events, chapter meetings, etc. and telling my roommate about them. I don't think she was jealous... I think she just didn't understand why all of a sudden- my 3rd year in college- I decided that going to these things and being a part of a sorority was important to me. We remained close, but every so often she would make remarks like "Wow, that sounds like something that I would never do" or "I don't know how you do that sorority thing"... even though I would remind her that I loved my sorority.
In the end I grew a little sad that once I left my sorority events that Theta time was over and now it was back to my 'other' life. Many of my sisters lived together and they came and left events as groups... something I felt like I was missing out on. Plus, I didn't really appreciate her comments about my involvement, no matter how few and far between they were. So I decided to move in with some sisters. I miss my old roommate a lot... we are very close as friends and roommates. But I like that I have someone at home to talk to about Theta, Greek Life, and allllll the drama.
My old roommate and I have worked really hard at staying friends. We try to get together as often as possible for a meal and tomorrow we are going to a local waterpark together! Even though she may not understand greek life, it doesn't mean that we can't be friends!
