Cool The best thing about being Greek?!

What is the best thing about being Greek, in your personal experience??

I personally love being Greek and there are so many reasons for this.But I would have to say that some of the best things are my sisters, the philanthropic opportunities and of course the social aspect.
But most importantly, my sisters are my support system here at school and they mean the world to me. We have so much fun together and whenever I need anything I know I can always count on my sisters. I think that is what being Greek is all about- Sisterhood and Brotherhood.

I'm not a Greek yet, I'm rushing next semester, but I love hanging out at the fraternity house and I like having people say things like "Yeah, Billy's here..he's coming out next semester" when I walk up to the door. I also like being in a place where you can tell everyone cares about each other despite personal differces.

There is so much great things about being in a sorority. but to sum up my favotite thing about it

in one word...sisterhood

it means the world to me, it makes the stress of college lightened, to know you have great sisters to be there for you no matter what, is a great feeling.

To quote a girl I've never met "Chi-O made me a woman" A girl who's a senior now asked an active during her rush what Chi-O had done for her, and that is what she said. That quote has made it's way through the years because it is so true. In fact, I might make it my little footer. Being greek has given me girls to look up to, girls to hang out with, girls to study with, girls to walk to class with, girls to work with...where else can you find all of that in one place?

Definitely the people I meet...that especially goes my brothers, but also all the other people. I've met some really awsome people in the Greek system, some of the nicest, most down-to-earth, most fun people that I've met anywhere, and that's what makes the whole experience, that's why I rushed in the first place and that's why I like where I am now.

The feeling you get from carrying on a tradition, from being a small part of a larger whole, from being able to meet another sister for the first time and know that she shares much of the same knowledge and ideals that you do. Another great thing about being Greek is having the opportunity to share ideas with and learn from the awesome folks who post on GC!

The best THINGS about being Greek:

*having 178,000 women you can call "sister"

*being a part of an even bigger family of 3,000,000 women (the NPC)

*scholarships, scholarships, scholarships!

*having people willing to put up with you...especially on bad days

*opportunity for MORE opportunities

and the best part..

*having Brady gone for two months at a time when he's on patrol is difficult. My sisters are the ones that get me through it.

Never ever would I change my mind about going Greek!!!!

If I had to narrow it down, I would say the oppurtunities.
Not only do we get the chance to work with some of the best women around we get to work and have fun.
My sister Nicole, from our Alpha chapter, told me that KD broke her down and built her up into the best women she could have imagined to be! I agree 100%!

Cool

Expanding on what Ecukd said...opportunities. The chance to build such a strong relationship with strangers over the course of three or four years, that will hopefully last a lifetime.

My parents, who neither went to college, and didn't like me joining a sorority telling me that when I am here I smile wider, have more fun and laugh louder because of the joy the women in chapter bring me. SO much so that my parents even let eight of us sleep at my house one night and they stayed up talking with us all night!

Cool

Ah, the Brotherhood/Sisterhood stand out so very strong on this site and to me this says it all. I attended a Regional Conclave and what I told them in my meeting room, the Brother from my chapter was as close as a Brother could be, and all of the others were while Brothers were my cousins. It is a Family.

Greek Societys have a closer knit bond, they have better grades, they are more polished, and are able to cope with the real world because of the training and the things they learnd from being officers and on commitees for the interaction, and working together as a group to accomlish things that the one could not do While this is a thumbnail, there are really to many things that can be said and each and everyone have the feeling inside of us. Feels warm DON"T IT!!!!!!!!!
