My own tuppence: We each made a vow to our sorority. Yes, there are good times, and yes, there are bad times. During the college years, the drama level can get much too high, but guess what? That happens in every sorority. Even the one you wish you had joined.

The real proof of the value of sorority and fraternity comes not while in college, but afterwards. Your friend base will go from all members of XYZ, with a few exceptions, to a more panhellenic base. You've probably heard, "no matter what the letter, we're all Greek together." That becomes so much more pronounced as alumnae. When I think of my closest Greek friends, I guarantee you that I'm thinking about wonderful women in several different sororities, not just of my own!

The option to cut and run from sorority to sorority in the NPC negates the chance to discover amazing sisters of your own sorority in your alumnae group, and also to meet some wonderful alumnae of other sororities. I wouldn't have that happen for the world.
