Many people will dismiss sororities and fraternities as being vapid and shallow, only meant for parties, but they are really so much more than that for most of us.
They are a support system, a home base, a sounding board, a kind thought, whatever you need it to be. These women have been there for me in the best and worst times of my life, and these last however many months have been no different. Although this week is a particularly difficult one, they have shown such love and support and are really getting me through it. We might be goofballs, but we are goofballs together.
Thank someone who has been there for you through the hard times today!
Until tomorrow,
The Historian!

i personally love greek life so much and am incredibly grateful for everything that it has given me. and seeing that you’re an advisor, i feel the need to add that i believe that advisors make a greek chapter great. they’re the one who is meant to pass on the rituals of founders and to stress the beauty behind everything, and when you see a person love something so much and want to treat it with respect, it rubs off on the members. i honestly think that the chapters facing difficulties just need a better advisor to hold their hand and show everyone how to hold their chapter with great esteem.
i love what you said about sisters are goofballs together, because you couldn’t be more right
Such a great support system. Wish we had more in Canada!
It really is!! They are in most every Canadian city but so unknown, and could offer so many opportunities in addition to the support!
I think that because of the mindset of our culture now though, Greek life (at least frats) are going to go the way of the dodo. I wouldn’t say it was a good thing since it’s a big part of discovering yourself, but it seems to be the direction we’re heading in.
Be lucky you had a good experience. ?
As an advisor, I can’t say I disagree- from what I’ve seen from several organisations, I don’t think that they are imparting what our founders intended. I’m not sure what the answer is to that, either- if people don’t want to engage with the tradition and support, can you force them?
