Why I Am A Sorority Girl?

As my godchild, niece or my other child or one of the other names that her mother and I have for her for her,   Allyson started her rush week at Bowling Green University, I began to feel the excitement for her and exploration of the process that she was going to undertake. It made me reminisce about my process and how I feel about my sorority, Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc. Here are my 10 reasons that I am a sorority girl...

  1. Sisterhood-- I have built lifelong friendship with several of the members of my sorority. Many of these ladies were in my wedding and even one is my daughters godmother. These friendships I know will sustain the end of time and I know that these ladies will be there when I need them.
  2. Community Service--I have the opportunity to serve my community through my sorority on a larger scale and make a larger impact. With this network of great women and as this years community service chair, it has pushed me to look for different programming as well as more sophisticated ways to serve to put Sigma and my chapter in a greater light in the community at large. 
  3. I look good in blue  and gold. 
  4. I love poodles.
  5. Support-My Sorority sisters back me up  and support in not only in chapter programs, but outside of sorority. I have had sorority sisters email check on Ms. G, just send me a text to check in on more, show up at one of my families annual 4th of July cookouts or just sent me a nice note. The support is beneficial in keeping and maintaining our relationship.
  6. Uniqueness-- I love the uniqueness of each one of my sorors. We are each different have different assets, characteristics and qualities. These differences assist us in being one in whole in thoughts and actions for the greater good. 
  7. I get to wear those fabulous Greek letters.
  8. Travel-- With all the conferences, regional meetings or just a weekend shopping trip with sorors, I have been able to see parts of the United States that I would not have been able to see.  These trips with my sisters are also bonding times, if it is just exploring a new city, having a good laugh in a our room at a conference or picking up a new purse in our sorority colors. 
  9. Leadership--Through my sorority I have obtained additional leadership skills, through trainings and conferences, that the information has been useful in other areas of my life. 
  10. Well because  ........ I  LOVE SIGMA GAMMA RHO!
These things make me a sorority girl and so much more. I hope that as Allyson starts her journey into greekdom that she builds some of the same feelings for her sorority, her chapter and her sorority sisters.  Are you a sorority girl? What do you love about your sorority?

Fill in the Blank Friday--Sleep

1.   The last thing I do before going to sleep is         turn on the TV and set the sleep timer . 2.   When I can't sleep I      watch TV until I fall back to sleep   . 3.   The first thing I do when I wake up is     go to the bathroom . 4.   When I'm tired I      can fall asleep anywhere. I have fallen asleep in a folding chair, on a couch , outside, sitting up.....let's say when I am tired, I am tired . 5.   My dream bedroom would be       have lots of white linens and would feel very breezy. It would be filled with antiques and have a large sitting area. It would be shabby chic . 6.   If I could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning it would be        on a porch on a beach house listening to the waves roll in and the feeling the sun rise on my face . 7.   The longest sleep I've ever had was    I a...

Wedded Wednesday: Thanksgiving Traditions

With the holidays coming,  I am thinking about how I want to spend them with the hubby. We do the same thing every year for Thanksgiving and make a road trip to spend it with his family. I usually go shopping on the day after Thanksgiving starting at 3:00am and usually come home and sleep the rest of the day. I was looking at starting some sort of new traditions on the Saturday after Thanksgiving that we can do for years to come. Maybe like putting up the Christmas tree (this is my vote), taking an annual holiday photo, doing some shopping together or maybe doing something relaxing like getting a couples massage. Of course, we will have to throw in some football and lots of left overs whatever we decide to do.Building new traditions, will be the traditions that will continue in our family  and define the holidays for years to come.  Do you have any Thanksgiving traditions?
