An Open Letter About Joining a Sorority To the Upcoming Freshman Who Doesn’t Know if She Should Rush, Introduction: 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

their organization. Although there are some bad apples that have ruined the outlook on Greek Life, many outsiders do not realize how high our expectations are for our members. An example would be that we value our grades and because of that, our Nationals and Edinboro University set standards that potential new members (PNM)s must have, before they are even considered for bids. These Greek

I live by Alpha Delta Pi’s open motto “We Live For Each Other” which is the ultimate ritual. Our shared values of sisterhood, scholarship, service, and leadership to create better women, are things that I value and try to weave into my daily life. This is accomplished by actively thinking each day about what we can do for each other and putting it into action. I strive to be the best version of myself by giving back what this sorority has given to me. Above all else, I live my ritual by creating

sororities are a subculture of the campus’s society and inside that subculture the pledge class can be found. Each sorority represents a chapter, in turn each chapter is specific to a certain sorority. The chapter is a single branch of a specific national sorority that is represented at the campus. Each chapter is represented by Greek words and letters, for example Saint Francis University has six sororities on its campus. These sororities are Delta Phi Epsilon (ΔΦΕ), Gamma Sigma Sigma (ΓΣΣ), Omega

Senior year is the time for making choices. Some of these choices are going to be small and others affect the rest of our lives. The biggest and most important choice is which college to attend. Do you want to stay close to home or go far away? The biggest question is what size of college is right for you. My two top choices are University of Bluffton and University of Findlay. I think they are both great colleges but one is definitely a better fit for me. The University of Findlay is a better fit

Personal mission statement: My mission in life is to be an instrument of positive change of Georgia College, my sorority, among my friends, and as a future educator. To start every day with a smile and continue the day with passion for life and those around me. I will later use my compassion for children to make a difference in the future of society but for now I hope to leave a positive imprint on the campus of Georgia College as well as my sorority’s chapter. What have I gained from my chapter

College Cliques Students will be going to college soon, and it will be a whole new world. Upcoming freshman will see new faces, personalities, and looks all in the same place. High school has cliques; however, a college has more. Most students are grouped into cliques because they have similar personalities and backgrounds, so it makes them feel at home. A college has a massive variety of cliques; the most famous are frat, sorority, athletes, and honor. Frat One type of clique is the frat boys.

It is important to discuss the history behind fraternities and sororities in order to gain a full understanding of how they can affect ways in which students interact with each other. The first Greek letter organization was created in 1776 as a way for students to meet with each other and discuss current events and literature. From there on, more of these groups were started at schools around the country. It was rare to have women be appointed into one of these because of their lesser social status
