I find this interesting. When I joined my sorority so many of the older girls originally thought that I was going to be a girl that wanted the letters to wear and the parties, decorating cups type of sister.... they have since come up to me and told me that I was a pleasant surprise. I have changed and matured because of my experiences with my sisters. I hold my code of standards very seriously, I try to live up to my sorority's Purpose, I recite my ritual in my mind at least three or four times a day to remind me what type of person i should strive to be.. I love my sorority.. I love the ideals it has but when I joined I knew nothing about them. I knew nothing about the responsibilities that come with being a member (and an officer!)Now that I am a member I realize that it does thrust some responsibility on me. I also realize when I am out with friends that if I chose to wear my letters I need to think about my actions more. It can be tough sometimes, but it happens. I wouldn't trade the bad for the good though. Not for one day of one year. Heck, I am trying to talk my mom into alumna intiation!
