Sorority Life

As you may or may not know, I am currently living in the Alpha Phi sorority house on Washburn University's campus.  Being a sorority girl is tons of fun, but let me tell you, it has its ups and downs.

I joined a sorority two years ago when first arriving at Washburn.  Accepting my bid from Alpha Phi was one of the best decisions I have made in college.  Not only does the sisterhood wear our letters on our front, but we have sisters who have our back.  I decided to live in the house because I wanted to become closer to the girls and experience the atmosphere of really being involved with my sorority.  Living with 30 girls is never a dull moment!  I have had late nights, crazy times and memories to last me a lifetime.

There are times; however, that can be stressful.  This week has been one of those times for me.  We received our "little" sisters this week and as a "big" sister, it's our job to make them crafts and do things for their initiation week.  This is a very exciting time but it fell right as the same time that I am trying to do homecoming stuff as well.  I have been staying up late paining, pinteresting, and looking up ideas for my next surprise I am going to do for my little sis to make this a special resemblance of what Alpha Phi means.  While all of this is stressful, I keep telling myself it will be worth it in the end when I get to see how happy and surprised she is when she finds out I am her big sister.

Sorority life is an experience that has made me a better leader and stronger woman in today's society.  I believe that this experience has given me many opportunities that I wouldn't have any where else.  Along with that, I have 68 girls who I know have my back and will be there for me for the rest of my life :)
