Not including myself, I have a family of 127 sisters. No, we are not all biologically related. No, this isn’t some crazy story that’ll end up on TLC or 60 Minutes. I have 127 sorority sisters.

Never in my life have I had a biological sister. I always wanted one, but my mom and dad told me, “No, you and your brother are enough.” I would get frustrated that I didn’t have anyone to talk about boy drama with or share shoes with, but then I came to college, went through recruitment, and was welcomed with open arms to more sisters than I ever imagined wanting.

Looking in, people would probably think putting 128 girls into one room would start World War III, but it’s far from the truth. My sorority sisters are some of the most amazing people I know and I’m lucky to know them all by name (unless I’m exhausted and mix up a name or two, it has happened). They are my cheerleaders and support team. They are my go to when I need advice. They are my comedians. They are my team members. They are my co-workers. They are my classmates. Honestly, the list goes on for forever and I hope I am the same for them.

Everyday I am exposed to their opinions, thoughts, values, ideas, and accomplishments and it has helped me grow to see so many other points of view. They’ve voted me onto committees, teams, and an executive position which have all shaped me into the woman and leader I am today. They do so much for me and I wish them all nothing but happiness and achievement!

I wouldn’t be the same person I am today if it wasn’t for my sorority sisters and I am incredibly blessed to have them in my life. I love them for who they are and what they do in and out of our chapter and I’ll support them no matter what 🙂

So, Go Greek, it will be the best decision you’ll make all year.

DZLAM!
