“Oh the places you will go, the people you will meet, the
woman you will become, when you go Greek.” So sororities… when I think of it, I
think of the legally blonde; A bunch of popular blondes living under a big
house having big parties at the frat house and “dating” the popular, attractive
frat boys. I think of a bunch of young girls being harassed, mentally and
physically, by her “sisters” just so they could belong. I think of the news
stories you hear of young girls being found dead because they were hazed so
badly. Maybe to some sororities or sorority
sisters do fit this stereotype but I get a different vibe from the ones at
SCSU.
I went
to Omega Zeta Pi’s first rush event. For those who don’t know what a rush is, it’s
an event that gives you a taste of the sorority life and the sorority a taste
of you so they can decide if they want to invite you I or not. I was skeptical of
going but I decided it would be nice to put myself out there and maybe make
some friends. This first one was a “mock”tale
mixer. We got to ask questions, mingle around, all while having a classy nonalcoholic
drink. It was totally cliché, yet I kind of loved acting a little girly.
One thing
struck me is how many of the girls compared it to a family. They said that no
matter where they are or they’re doing, one of their sisters will always be
there if you need them. And thinking about that, made me really want to be a
part of that. I want to have the family, away from my family. So this made me
serious about becoming a part of Omega Zeta Pi. It seems like a great way to
make friends/sisters that will last throughout my life. It will be a way for me
to step outside my comfort zone and be more social and create a new and
outgoing version of myself.
