Because I am a sorority member . . .

[BAckbOwlsgIrl]

A smile, a wink, a nod can mean more than the biggest present wrapped with the prettiest of bows and paper.

That there are days are when my sun does not shine, all I have to do is remember and think of my sisterhood values to get me through.

I still wish that many others could experience the wonderful things that I have through my sorority.

When I hear snickers or laughs about being a member, I wish I could shout it from the mountain tops how much I love my organization. Instead, I live by example and remember not to boast, only to be dignified as I part of something so incredible.

Home is where your heart is and a big part of my heart is with my sisters.

Although, my mother and I will never share the same ritual, we have learned to share our Sorority resources and appreciate our different organizations. Our bond is no less special. We will forever be sorority members bound by the Pan Hellenic creed.

I can put on a smile no matter what the occasion.

I know every aisle of Michael's and Joann by heart.

I have become an expert at mixing paint pen colors.

I have become more creative.

I can do squats for long periods of time, thanks to the ever popular "sorority pose"

I know how to fit 25 people in the smallest of pictures.

I can make anyone feel and look beautiful with a few quick hair and make up tricks!

Again, not the format as yours, but...I suffice.
