The Game of Life

By the time you're old enough to think in complete sentences you can make decisions about likes and dislikes. You might have tasted a potato and thought it was nasty then tried some beans and thought they were delicious. Maybe you picked out a shirt in black and in yellow and decided yellow was a better color. This same concept applies to picking a sorority. Some people may look at the process and think, "These girls just try their hardest to fit in where ever they can." The truth is, finding a sorority is about finding a group which is best reflects who you are. We don't have to conform to anything. This shows that social crowds actually make people more confident and independent, contrary to popular belief. As you look around and see that there are other people who act and think like you it makes you more confident to be yourself. If you are more confident and aren't looking for everyone's approval all the time this also makes you more independent. After picking a sorority it might mean that you wear certain colors on some days or live in the same house as your sisters but these things aren't supposed to conflict with who you are, they are supposed to be things that you feel comfortable doing because of the people you are friends with. Sororities have been looked at in the wrong light in the past but they are in fact groups of people with the same interests inspiring each other to be themselves and in turn be more independent.
