Sorority Girls
I know a girl...
Who is amazing. She runs a few miles a day, aces her classes, organizes social events, and participates in all sorts of campus organizations. At night she may go out and have fun, but she always manages to get everything done.
I know a girl...
Who will let you cry on her shoulder and will be there for you in times of need. She has lots of friends and makes sure she leaves enough time to hang with them all. She will give good advice and listen to your every word and thought with an unbiased ear. She will love you for who you are and accept you no matter what.
I know a girl...
Who will smile even though she didn't have the greatest day. She always brings her most positive attitude and it's contagious. Those who are around her want to smile too.
I know a girl...
Who will bring out the best in everyone she meets. She has friends in many different houses on this campus as well as friends that are not Greek because she doesn't care what house you're in. Who parties it up at fraternity parties, but goes many other places at night.
You might know this girl too...
Whether you're in a house or not, everyone knows one of these girls. She is my sister. She might be your sister, or she might be someone else's. Those that know this girl know what sororities are all about because she represents them in almost everything she does. Sororities aren't about drinking, boys, Kate Spade, and Prada. Sororities are about laughter, tears, friendship, honor, sisterhood, loyalty, and love. The people in my sorority want me to succeed. They help me
learn to rise up and allow others to follow. At retreats we share in times that we will remember forever. But it's not just my sorority. Homecoming, Socials, Parents weekend, and other Greek activities have given me the opportunity to find out what is unique about each sorority, and I really find
wonderful friends among them all. We need to let other people know who we are.
Greeks are not exclusive--they are merely one group of many. I have heard the jokes, we all have...about what non-Greek students may think about us. But I challenge you - prove them wrong. Don't just try to make your house look good, try to make Greeks look good. Let people know that we are athletes, we are scholars, we come from diverse backgrounds, and we have diverse goals. But let them know that we have similarities. We are all in the constant pursuit of success. We are all working to achieve our goals, and we are all making friendships that last a lifetime.
So remember...
~~62% of campus leadership positions are held by Greeks.
~~76% of campus honoraries are Greek.
~~89% of US supreme court justices have been Greek.
~~Of the country's 50 largest companies, 43 are headed by Greek alumni.
So be proud, prove peope wrong.... Remember that although my sorority may have different history and ideals than yours, that we all are here for common reasons.
