Personal Narrative-Found Sisters In The Sorority

The first friends I made went to church with me. Then I realized we went to school together also. I liked her, but sadly we split ways also. I went to the Early College, she went to the high school. I enjoyed the days we spent together in middle school. I made more friends and spent the summer with them. Before I knew it, I got a call from my older cousin, saying he was in the Air Force, and was moving to Montana. Tears streamed down my face, for he was an older brother to me. I was going to miss him the

I would describe my personality as diligent, fun loving, and adaptive. I enjoy spending time with my friends and my sorority, yet I have taken on a position within that sorority that requires me to be on top of nearly all details taking place. I enjoy working hard to make sure everyone else has a smooth-running sorority experience. I like to go with the flow and enjoy like as it comes!

As teenagers in high school are in their final year of school, a sinking feeling sets in that you have to make a decision about what the next steps in your life are. For myself, I chose to take the less expensive route and stay closer to home. But most of my closest confidants respectfully chose routes they saw fit for themselves. This would end up meaning that I would not be five lockers down from people that I have been friends with for six plus years, which was a hard realization to come to. By the start of college, I would have friends at MSU, Grand Valley, CMU, California, Florida and England. With friendships being a huge priority to me this was not an easy thing to go through at the time. Knowing that the people I spent every day with

I learned so much about the things I was capable and not capable to do and about the foundation of Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority Inc. The lovely ladies of Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority Inc. always made me feel very comfortable to the point that I was able to be myself around them. However, when I tried that with the other sorority members it did not felt the same way. The other sorority made me feel left out and uncomfortable when being around them and that’s something that Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority Inc. did not. Being able to talk one on one, ask for help and talk to the ladies like a regular friend was one of the reason why I chose Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority

Everyone knows about the stroll offs, roll calls, and step shows when an African American Greek sorority or fraternity is the topic. But is that all African American Greeks do is step and stroll? Believe it or not the image of African American Greeks has been tainted and miscued by their entertaining performances. Better known as the Divine Nine, the African American Greeks their hand signs and colors. The Divine Nine is a brotherhood and sisterhood organizations that are called to help the community and give back. These organizations also give women a chance to make a difference. After all, each and every one of the Dive Nine was founded because differences.

The three main reasons I am excited to join a sorority include my personal development, loyalty and friendship, and support of my aspirations. As a sister, there is an expectation of social interaction and personal development. I am confident that my experience and communication skills will be enriched by the activities that I participate in, the responsibility I take, and the people I meet. I am looking forward to making friends for life. I think that the atmosphere and set up of a sorority fosters and encourages the development of lifelong friendships through common aims and shared experiences. I also believe that sorority life emphasizes and encourages loyalty to and among the sisterhood, my school and the nation. Support from my sisters

So I would like to present myself officially. My full name is Andrea Paniagua, I was born on May 4, 1996, which makes me 20 years old right now. I am from Hendersonville, North Carolina, but was born in Naples, Florida. I am Mexican American. Both of my parents are from Mexico, my mom was born in the state Guanajuato but raised in Mexico City and my dad was born and raised in Mexico City. I have a total of 6 sibling which all of them are half siblings. I grew up all my life with only two siblings, which I call them my full blood siblings. I have two loving parents, my dad and mom. I have a strong bond with both of them but I have a stronger bond with my mom, she is more like my to go person, my best friend. I have a boyfriend who I have been dating for three years. I have one dog and then my family has another. In other words I have two dogs but one is mine and the other is the family dog. My dog is a Shih-Tzu and the family dog is a German Shepard.

My passion for my sorority grew exponentially during the fall of my sophomore year. Recruitment season had started and I was meeting loads of sweet, freshman girls. I loved getting to know the new faces, showing them the ropes and making them feel at home. In high school, I had never been close friends with underclassmen, so the experience of being an older “guide” was new for me. I loved it and I loved my freshmen friends.

Day in and day out we hear about high school and college students wanting to pursue a sorority and/or a fraternity based on the stereotypes these organizations uphold, well I chose to differ. I told myself if I ever decided to become a member of a sorority it would be based solely on their ethical standards, history, and values they are founded upon. Alpha Kappa Alpha, Incorporated consists of ladies of distinction and exemplary character who excel in scholarship, leadership, and service, which are qualities I have chosen to uphold. From my perspective, I encourage myself to maintain a respectable appearance and reputation which doing so inspires me to embrace my self-concept; which helps me confidently excel academically and

Joining a sorority is not just four for years but for life. Going through a week-long process of meeting thousands of girls can be intense, overwhelming but intriguing and exciting as well. Recruitment to many is known as a terrifying process where girls come from all over with matching shirts, bright smiles and dreams that at the end of the week they will receive the white envelope that incases the 4x6 card with the sororities crest inviting them into their sisterhood. By preparing ahead of time, which includes building a resume, searching for recommendation letters and extensive research on each chapter, sorority recruitment doesn’t have to be an intimating process.

I know exactly what you are going through. At the beginning of my freshman year, I swore to myself that I would never join a sorority. I thought it was weird, cult-like, and that I didn’t need to pay money to have friends. However, here I am, loving and actively participating in Delta Gamma, a sorority that was reestablished at the University of Arkansas this year. When I first joined, I had certain expectations. I expected for me and some of the members to be somewhat of acquaintances, but thought that most sorority girls were too self- absorbed for me to gain any real, genuine friendships. Basically, I rushed so that I had

Then came freshman year, my small group was dispersed amongst the local high schools with some heading to Mundelein and Stevenson, all I had with me was one friend who I, at the time thought to be a blessing, shared three classes with. It turned it that he was no longer the same friend I

For as long as I can remember I’ve had the same group of friends, but coming into high school I met a lot of new people. I met some of my best friends here and my boyfriend.I’ve reached out to a lot of different people I didn’t really expect to be friends with. I learned that you really can’t judge a book by a cover and that probably sounds cliche, but some of the people I thought I’d never get along with became some of my really good friends.

High school was such an amazing experience for me; and, I flourished in my talents and made many friends. However, when High School ended, the cliches were over and the friendships I had formed wilted away. I struggled to find a place for myself. Eventually, I found a group that I thought would be good for me. I continued to believe that even as I drank almost everyday to be a part

I can relate to friendship in many ways by high school, everybody has their group in highschool that they stick with till the end. We always did everything together, we played on the same sport teams, we always went to the events outside of school. when you have that group of girls you know will always be by you no matter what, you learn to accept that it may not be the whole high school but at least it's some. I learned that when you do graduate you won't have all the friends that you had through high school, you will walk the stage with three or four that's
