I been changed

Why did you join a sorority? What have you gained by being a sister? In what ways have being in a sorority changed your life? These are all questions I recently had to answer as Panhell required us to be interviewed in order to create recruitment videos that will be used in the fall. The interview was short and simple and really got me thinking about whom I am now and who I used to be. These questions sum up everything that I have went through and made me think of all changes I have made as a person.

I joined a sorority out of boredom. There was no real reason I just had nothing better to do. I was bored and made no friends. I lived in East with the other entire freshman yet I know no one and had no way of meeting other people. I thought that if I checked out sororities I would make a friend even if I didn’t join one. I did during recruitment I made a friend who was all excited about becoming a Sigma and I decided to join with her. We both got in and in the fall we will be roommates.

As a sister I have gained leadership and people skills. I know have to talk to groups of people and be in charge of things. I was never in charge of things before nor did I talk to groups of people. My next couple years as a sister I will become even more of a leader and eventually I will have enough leadership skills to be able to talk in front of people without getting nervous.

This sorority has changed me in so many ways. I have better time management skills since I am always busy. It has made me more helpful since in high school I was very selfish. Now I have to do community service projects and take care of my sisters. In a surprising twist it makes me drink less. I learned tricks to having a great time without drinking from being a sober sister that I now see no point in drinking.
