Sororities. Communities filled with passionate women who are motivated to be sisters to each other. Groups filled with purpose to serve the greater society, support and uplift each other, and most importantly create a healthy community of empowering women in a time of everyone’s life filled with new beginnings, experiences and moments in college. Typically, sororities promote supporting and contributing to a particular cause and this a specific philanthropy. The women together work towards reaching their goals in helping the non-profit in order to aid in significant societal development. Additionally, each sorority fosters important connections to be made, ones that typically last forever. Sororities are focused on creating healthy places in which women can express their full selves and be able to connect with others who are similar to them. With a community offered to these women for mental and physical support, it enables a healthier environment in their overall college experience and establishes a strong foundation for future success. As they say, a healthy environment breeds healthy students and healthy futures. 

Some examples of philanthropic events include fundraisers in the form of sports games playing with and against other communities in Greek life, selling merchandise, conducting and organizing multiple marathons, ice skating events, and garnering money from the members that are known as dues that go toward the development of the sorority and what it can contribute to the philanthropy organization it represents. These events reach these young women lifelong lessons such as how to effectively plan events, how to work within a team, how to establish strong moral values and how to inhibit a purpose in life. 

On the other hand, sororities also do events in the realm of sisterhood, ones that promote equality, and healthy and strong relationships between the members. Events in this category can look like movie nights in the house, different themed dinners where the sisters bond together, going to football games together, formal events in surrounding venues, supporting each other’s talents and interests by attending performances, presentations and so much more. 

Overall, I believe that rushing to join a sorority can be an integral part of one’s college experience and future life. From having a strong and empowering community of women to being able to find the spark of confidence within yourself can be just what one needs to boost their life and live it to the fullest. The philanthropic mindset will aid forever in establishing a firm purpose to live in life and to be able to give back to the society that breeds us. Additionally, the sisterhood events garner strong emotional and physical connection by uplifting each other and being able to become what everyone now calls a “girl’s girl” (the best compliment a girl could receive). Experiences are crucial for effective development and cherishing and exploring new communities in an era of new as people head off to college is the best way to begin!
