It's so hard for 18 year olds to see beyond the immediate moment on their campus, in their limited exposure to what all of this means.
Every sorority offers leadership training, philanthropic engagement, parties, sparkly things, sisterhood and the opportunity to help run what amounts to a small non-profit agency.
I am an old lady by their standards, and I still get a thrill when I put on my pin, meet a random KD in the store wearing her letters, or read about one my chapter sister's accomplishments. I have served as an advisor, an alum officer and have met KDs from all over the country and have bonded with women half my age, based on our common experience with KD. My son counted KDs on his campus as some of his best friends, and they thought it was so cool that his mom was their sister.
If I had dropped out, I would have missed one of my treasured life experiences.
Each of our groups has high ideals, beautiful bling and wonderful charities to support. Honestly, given what I have learned about NPC from this board, I could proudly wear the letters of any group.
Especially in these gigantic chapters, there is something for everyone and they will find a place to fit in.
