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?!"

I joined because I had been in 8 zillion organizations in high school and after my first semester of my freshman year, I was BORED. I realized I was hanging out too much with people I had known before college and wanted to meet a lot more people. I selected Alpha Gamma Delta because the women in the chapter were friendly, fun, had great grades and were campus leaders.

I stay involved because the organization has become a part of who I am. Initially I volunteered because they needed me and I had a great role model whose footsteps I wanted to follow. Every year, Alpha Gamma Delta becomes more important to me and I want to be part of shaping the future of the organization to help ensure that it grows and prospers. The sisterhood I feel with some of the alumnae members I've met seals the deal. I love our Purpose. I love our Vision. I love where we have been and where we are headed.
