Click the link above to the blog post to see the full list of myths, pros, and cons about sororities!

Prefacing everything I am about to say, the point of this post is not to bash sororities. There are pros and cons to everything in life, and I have tried to list out the good and bad of greek life from my perspective.

Myths About Greek Life:
- I fell for the myth that being in a sorority was the only way to make friends, and that is not true.
- You do not have to rush your freshman year, a ton of sophomores also rush.
- A sorority is not the only way to get involved. There are a ton of organizations and ministries on campus to get involved in.
- Not being in a sorority will not take away from your college experience.
- There is no one type of person in a sorority or stereotype that fits an entire sorority.

Pros
- I have a ton of friends who are called to be in sororities and do greek ministry through chaplain positions, through the way they live their lives on love on their sisters.
- I know a lot of girls in sororities who thrive there and absolutely love it.
- Being in a sorority could be where God is calling you. Where the lord guides, he provides.
- You get out of your sorority what you put into it.
- Going through rush and getting dropped has allowed me to be there for girls who are in the same position I was. A lot of people go through rush and get dropped, they are just embarrassed bu it. My video about my sorority rush experience has over 172k views and is my most popular video, allowing me to be vulnerable and share my story with other girls that the lord is good and his plan has a purpose.
- If you are thinking about rushing or curious about it, I would do it. If you don't go through rush, you won't know wether or not it is for you. - You can always drop or pledge and drop later.
- You could rush a sorority and meet your best gal friends, and you could find a house that you absolutely love!!

Cons
- I am glad that I did not join a sorority my freshman year becuase I think I would have only hung out with girls in my sorority. I do not think I would have branched out and made friends with a ton of different people.
Sororities tend to be more drama prone, since they are a huge groups of girls, girls=drama.
Sororities are very time consuming and cost a lot of money.
- When sororities vote on wether or not to give you a bid, they rate you with numbers, normally on a scale from 1-10.
- Sororities do lead to more temptation with drinking and partying, but you have to be strong enough in your faith to say no.
- Sororities also are more susceptible to tempt you to get caught up in body image and physical appearance. Know that your worth is found in Christ. Do not put your identity in a sorority.

Check your faith and check your relationship with Jesus. Ask yourself why you want to join a sorority. Do you want it for the right reasons? A sorority will not be an instant gratification to happiness. I hope this helped y'all! Leave your feedback on this post and any other questions you may have in the comments.
