Ramblings

I don’t really know what to say, but I feel like I should post…despite the fact that absolutely nobody reads this!

I need to start writing more. I need to return to the seemingly articulate person I once was, and not just some ditzy sorority girl. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love my sorority, to death. I love how it’s given me so many opportunities to grow and the friendships it has given me. And while I am so, so proud to be an AOPi, I don’t want my sorority to be the only thing that defines me. Yes, it is and will continue to be a huge part of my life. However, I think I have mentioned before that being a sorority girl doesn’t always carry the positive connotation I would like to think it does. People associate “sorority” with words like “dumb”, “partier”, “shallow”, etc. I want to prove those people wrong more than anything, but it goes without saying that it’s not easy to change minds. By showing people that I am an intelligent, level-headed, profound (for lack of a better word), I hope to be able to shed that negative stereotype. There are so many great people in Greek life, but there are also so many great people who aren’t Greeks either, and I just want to be friends with all sorts of people!

 

Okay, this is going nowhere fast and I’m not making a whole lot of sense. I should probably shut up.
