A sorority
is almost too deep and far-reaching to define on paper. It is more
than a social group that gathers for parties. Its purpose is not to
accumulate as many trophies as possible to show off to the public.
The women in a sorority do not all look, dress, and act alike. The
sorority and its members are not chosen as a special elite class to
which one has to wear a pin to belong.
The sorority is a tool for the growth and development of the individual. It may
be compared to a miniature democratic society which essentially teaches the principles
of a democracy. There is a place for everyone. The older, more experienced members
are present to guide the new members into their own position. The group offers
opportunities in every field so that everyone can fit in.
Contrary to the belief of many people, a sorority does not strive for members
who will conform in dress, interests, thoughts, and ideals. A Greek group pledges
individuals because it thrives on the unique characters, ideals, and opinions
of its members. There is a place for the girl who is interested in activities
and also the one who emphasizes scholarship. There is a place for the girl who
is elected homecoming queen and also the one who works hard on the float. It
is only through these varied interests that a sorority benefits an individual.
One receives an education in all phases of college life, or on a wider scope,
all phases of society.
The members of a sorority are sisters sharing a strong bond of love and acceptance.
Through this close relationship with others, a girl will reach a fuller development
of her own character.
What is a sorority? It is the most worthwhile and rewarding group to which one
could ever belong.
