Greek Families

It's the middle of August, so what does that mean for my Alma Mater? School is about to start up again. We have 1 week until the date. This, in turn, means that the sorority women are getting ready to recruit a new class, and the bright-eyed and bushy-tailed freshmen (and a few upperclassmen) are ready to find their homes.

Now, personally, I hate recruitment. I have really never had a good experience attached to it, but that is entirely just me, plenty of people love it. But as my sister went back to shuttle freshmen around, my cousin went to start her freshman year, and the sororities start getting ready to meet over 700 women, I realized that I missed it.

I get this every year because, while I don't like recruitment itself, I love what it stands for. My sorority was one of the the best decisions that I have ever made. I learned a lot, made life-long friends, and found a home-away-from-home for 4 years. Those women that I lived and worked with, turned into my family. I'm lucky enough to have my real family, my pharm phamily, and my Greek family and all I wish is that the over 700 women who will be going through recruitment, find their families.

My sorority sisters have kept me honest, laughed with me at my best, and cried with me at my worst. They've forgiven me when things went badly wrong, and rejoiced in my successes. I am a better person because of these women and they helped me along my path to where I am today. I would have had a very different college experience without the women of Delta Delta Delta, and I am so glad that they wanted me, and I wanted them. I owe them a lot, and will continue to go to them for support, advice, a shoulder to cry on, or plain and honest fun and no words can truly describe how much I love each and every one of them.
