After writing the first blog on benefits of being in a sorority, I got to thinking of many more reasons joining greek life can make life better and easier! First, not everyone you meet in your sorority is going to be your best friend. This will teach you many valuable life lessons when presented with hard-to-deal-with people in everyday life. The ideas and thought processes of these people will change the way you think about your daily life. Second, if nothing else, being in a sorority allows you to live in the house! No longer do you have to deal with the gross and bothersome dorm rooms and the creepy neighbors down the hall! This gives you all the benefits of living on campus without actually living on campus. Third, SCHOLARSHIPS. Its amazing how many people do not know that their sorority offers scholarships! Being in a sorority opens up other eligibilities for various scholarships and financial aid. Your dues for your sorority could also be covered by such funds. Fourth, taking part in the ever-lasting tradition your sorority has to offer! The older the campus the better! My sorority has been on campus for over 85 years, and its so amazing to hear from and meet the women who first started this great club! If your club has not been around for as long as mines, it is always great to start that new tradition as well! One of my best friends just became a founding member of a new sorority at her school, and I know she get just as much out of her sorority as I do mine! Fifth, you can change the stereotype! The way fraternity and sorority members are portrayed in society is unfortunate, especially given the amazing things these students do each and every day. Your role as a fraternity or sorority member gives you a great opportunity to prove these stereotypes wrong. The friendships you make, community you build, volunteer work you do, and programs you put on can be part of a great college experience that embodies all that going Greek has to offer.
