College Sorority Life

But I'm a sorority girl, and I don't fit any of those stereotypes. I'm just a normal college student that wanted to get involved on campus and make lifelong friends, just like the rest of my sisters.

Walking into a sorority house as an outsider can be intimidating. Girls are all over the place. They know each other inside and out. If you are a guy, you can only be in the common area - no boys allowed in the bedrooms! And if it's past midnight, don't even try and walk in the front door because you aren't allowed in at all. No alcohol can be in the house no matter what. Inside, some girls might be running around like fools with no shirt on, while some might be yelling to shut the hell up if they are trying to study. It's like one huge family. It's not all just partying - it's a bond you can't break.

Of course, I do my fair share of partying with my sisters, that's only natural! I have had more fun times with those girls than I ever have in my life. Partying is essential in the life of me and my pledge sisters. I've also met fraternity guys that have become my best friends, and a few lucky ones have gotten to date me. ;)

The media paints the wrong picture about sororities. Movies, TV shows, and magazines don't do Greek Life any justice. If someone took the time to research a sorority and what it stands for, they'd soon realize it's more than handbags, high heels and hard alcohol. To think that a college sorority only values shopping sprees and frat parties is the same shallow thinking that declares all good-looking blondes are dumb.

So, you can see it's not all fun and games for college sorority sisters. We may make it look easier because we have one another to lean on. We have connections, a supportive community. Get to know us, and Greek Life, and you'll like it as much as I do!
