It all happens so
fast: The first event you walk into during recruitment, the excitement
that lingers over your campus on Bid Day, sisterhood bonding events
throughout your new member period, initiation, social events ... Before
you know it, you're walking on stage to receive a diploma and then
headed toward the "real world." You think to yourself, "Where has the
time gone?" Although graduation may seem far away for some of you, it
can be scary to leave your collegiate life behind and move forward into a
career.
Something
that might ease those worries is that fact that sorority women, have a
lifetime network of friends. More than 4 million women have been through
those same experiences after college and can be used as a support
system throughout life. You can use sorority membership as a means to
meet other Panhellenic women after moving across the country or as a
networking tool in the job market.
Typically
the most prominent moments that stand out during your lifetime sorority
membership are those spent in college, living with your sisters and
wearing your letters proudly around campus. But there is so much more
ahead after your collegiate career that lifetime membership has to
offer.
A
great opportunity to see the network of sorority women occurs the first
Monday of March each year:, -International Badge Day. This event was
established in 1997 by the National Panhellenic Conference as a time for
sorority women worldwide to wear their sorority badges or Greek letters
in a celebration of sisterhood.
From
the outside looking in, sorority life appears to be a commitment only
during your time in college, but truly it is something that will
always remain part of your life, so imagine the possibilities sorority
membership has to offer.
