The Real Deal On Sorority Life

Being in a sorority is NOT what you see on TV and in movies. Yes, there are social functions, fraternity men and visitors from the inter/national organization, but life does not revolve around these things. It is so much more!

What it is:

A life-long support system that provides career opportunities and networking opportunities during college and in the real world
An organization that values philanthropy and community service
A place where women learn to be leaders
A place to meet amazing friends who will always be there for you when you need them
A place to enjoy formal dances, date parties and other fun social events

What it is not:

A place that puts your looks and wardrobe ahead of your values and personality
Full of ditzy girls who are only out to have a good time
A place that will haze you or make you do things against your will
Full of rich, spoiled and snobby girls
A place that is only interested in your money while you’re in school and will forget about you after you graduate

"I joined a sorority looking for a place, searching for new friends and wanting a home away from home. I had no idea I would not only find those things but also find myself! I have joined groups I would have never heard of, I have met people that might not have crossed my path, I have explored my leadership abilities and have had people to not only depend on, but who depend on me!" - Senior, Western Kentucky University

"Being in a sorority is like being in a huge family. There are ups and there are downs. There are times when they are your best friends and times when they drive you crazy. But at the end of the day, they are your family and you love them." - Senior, Northwestern University

"Being in a sorority gives you the support you need to deal with the difficulties of college life. For every bad grade on a test, fight with a boyfriend, family hardship, personal tragedy, a sister will be there to help you through. It's that kind of unconditional, constant support that you can't get anywhere else but from the love of your sisters." - Junior, Montana State University
