Greek life varies from campus to campus. Everyone who joins a chapter has their own experience. Just because your best friend joined a sorority doesn’t mean that you’ll love the same chapter, and likewise, just because you know someone who did not like Greek life doesn’t mean you won’t, either.
When I first thought about joining a sorority, I was a bit skeptical. I wasn’t exactly what I thought of as a “sorority girl” because of the stereotypes from movies like Legally Blonde or TV shows like Greek.
As with any big decision, I talked to my mom. She told me about her days being in a sorority. Then she quoted, “From the inside looking out, you can never explain it; from the outside looking in you can never understand it.”
After my talk, I decided to go through rush, and it ended up being a great decision. After all, my life motto is, “don’t knock it till you try it.”
Being in a sorority has its pros along with its cons, like every life situation.
