What does being in a sorority really mean? Some might think its pillow fights and parties. Beer bongs and skipping class. Frat guys and secret stuff. If you ask me, being a part of greek life means sisterhood. The Alpha Gamma Delta Purpose reads, "To cherish friendships with but a chosen few, and to study the perfecting of those friendships." Sisterhood is the basis of greek life. It is the glue that holds us together. It is what most seek when rushing a sorority.
We sometimes get caught up in life. I get it. Adulting is hard stuff. But, when we loose sight of what makes us greek women, we become unbalanced. Sisterhood is the one thing that binds us as sisters. No badge, song, ceremony, or white dress can deem you a sister if you are not all of the things sisterhood entails.
Sisterhood means going to lunch dates. Picking her up at 2 am off the side of the road because her friend left her at the bar. Surprising her with ice cream when she's had a bad day. Reminding her to pay her dues. Borrowing her clothes. Always having someone to take countless pics with. Late night group message convos. Supporting her when she is fighting with her roommate. Making her show up to events so she won't get fined. Being able to tell her your deepest darkest secrets. Always having a date to the date party.
To be honest, sisterhood means more than I can type. The only word that comes close to describing what sisterhood truly means is the purest and truest love.
I realize now, as I write this that only Alpha Gams may fully understand what I am saying but I hope that everyone will learn something from this. Being in a sorority isn't the stereotypical experience for everyone. I have felt nothing but unconditional love and support from my sisters. I am thankful everyday that I am lucky enough to be a part of this amazing sisterhood.
