Why did you join your fraternity or sorority?

[AOII Angel]

I joined because I thought it would be cool to be in a sorority. My sister joined AOII the year before me, and she had a great time meeting new people and going to parties. I had no idea about leadership, philanthropy etc when I went through and joined. I was just looking for a group of girls to be friends with since I was so far from home. I knew I wanted to go to Med School, and little did I know that AOII would help me attain the leadership experience to help me get noticed during the med school app process. One of my interviewers actually circled my very full extra-curricular activities section and said," Really...you did this much in college and kept your grades up?!"
