As I was looking for quotes about Greek life, I came across two that I feel really describe my life in the Greek community and why I love it so much.

"People ask why I am in a sorority and 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, and 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 all your problems. But I have made good friends and found confidence there to help me take life one step at a time." (It doesn't say who said this but it is from www.angelfire.com/greekquotes) I love this quote because it clearly explains that sororities aren't all about image and material things like many people think they are. Sorority life is based on love for others, willingness and wanting to help those less fortunate, and a life long bond with your sisters.

"From the outside looking in you can never understand it. From the inside looking out you can never explain it."(www.angelfire.come/greekquotes) If I could pick one phrase to describe Greek life it would be this one. My bond with my sorority sisters is indescribable to others that are unaware of the Greek system. When you pledge a fraternity or a sorority, you're not just joining for 4 years, you are joining for life. No one will truly understand that unless you join a Greek organization. Being in Sigma is like having 75 of my best friends around me all the time to love, support and encourage me. Who wouldn't want that?
