Personal Narrative: Why I Am In A Sorority

102 Words1 Page

“People ask why I am in a sorority & I try to explain all the things a sorority is that they cannot see. A sorority is more than letters on a sweatshirt, I say. More than traditional songs, a gold pin, rituals, & obligation, or a way of life. A sorority is learning about people, a sorority is giving without expecting a return. A sorority is earning respect from others, as well as for yourself. A sorority will not solve your problems. But I have made good friends & found confidence there to help me take life one step at a

  • Review Of Pledged: The Secret Life Of Sororities, By Alexandra Robbins

    1252 Words  | 6 Pages

    A weakness of selecting certain sorority members based on the author’s discretion holds bias because of its convenient sampling. Robbins’ selection of particular participants may not fully represent the population, even though Robbins indicated that one of the sorority members would be a positive representative of the national organization. In addition, the participants are only from one institution and a small sample size. Robbins’s lack of details of her methodology of how she obtained their experiences and not using real names or locations to conceal her sources' identities lacks credibility. In addition, this challenges higher education professionals can do to solve these issues of superficial values and dangerous practices, especially since all sorority houses tend to have different reputations on different

  • The Importance Of Sisters In Sorority

    842 Words  | 4 Pages

    “Sisters” to most people would mean girls who share the same parents, but with sorority girls, “sisters” are the members in your sorority who share a bond between each and every one of them. I am a member of Delta Zeta sorority, I joined at the University of West Georgia but still feel the bond between me and my sorority sisters. Sisterhood means the world to the girls in sororities and it is an extraordinary thing to behold despite the fact that it may mean something else entirely to everyone else. In Sorority Life: The True Meaning of Sisterhood, they state, “Sisterhood is more than the letters which we wear on/around campus – it’s something much greater, something sacred & treasured,” and that couldn’t be any truer.

  • Greek Life Benefit Analysis

    “I joined because my older sister was already a member of Delta Gamma and I saw how much she enjoyed being a part of a sorority. I liked the idea of living in the house and getting to meet tons of new women with the same morals and values as myself” (S. Henry, personal communications, August 4, 2015). Although some of the chapters find themselves in a competition to be the best sorority, it usually makes each sorority want to do bigger and better things. According to Henry, the best part about Greek life is the fact that everyone supports everyone and everyone is there to help others. Many of the members overpay their due by completing more services hours than necessary.

  • Why Fraternity Hazing

    First, Burkman stresses the fact that pledges engage in hazing rituals because they feel that they have to belong. The author explains this idea by saying that as humans we need to feel the sensation of “fight-or-flight” (Burkman). But the fact that we live so privileged we rarely feel it. The idea of sororities and fraternities is to shrink our world to a small group, that way we feel a part of something more than ourselves. These invented groups are filled with secrets, rituals, symbols, chants, and cheers, all built to say that “This is my village, and where I belong” (Burkman).
