Sorors, SFs, One & All

[MissJayde]

I am so excited to find this topic after reading tons of other topics that I thought were going to be helpful that ended up being bash-fests. While I haven't had all the life experiences you guys talk about, I am a member of a youth sorority and can relate to a lot of what you are talking about, though I'm sure on a much smaller scale. I tried to join my sorority 3 times, the first I missed the meeting b/c of bad info, and the second I didn't complete my forms right. And when I saw the girls on that second line with their pins and jackets, I believe a part of my heart broke. Not because I really had the org in my heart then, but because I felt like I had been robbed. In the months between when they crossed and when I crossed, I grew an appreciation, not only for my sorority, but for all GLOs, especially the D9.
I learned so much about true sisterhood and what sororities are truly about. I know God planned for this to happen in my life the way it did because I’m truly a new person now after that experience and crossing. I would have joined because my friends were doing it and because my sisters(I didn’t use the word we normally use because it seems to upset people on this forum ) are the “it girls” in our town, but
now I can honesty say that I know the meaning of sisterhood and that my heart and my soul belongs to my org and hopefully, there will be room in the heart of ABC/XYZ (I’m practicing discretion )for me, because there is certainly more than enough room in mine for them.
Your stories of perseverance are so inspiring to me. Thank you all and God bless!
