I believe PNM’s should go Greek because of the unlimited opportunities they will encounter that will allow them to grow as women. I would not be the person I am today without my Greek Life experiences and I am forever grateful for my time here.
My favorite Greek Life experience was my chapter’s founders day celebration in 2023. We were celebrating a milestone for our chapters founding and many alumni came to celebrate with the active members. It was such a special moment to get to meet new alumni as well as see the ones that I know from being an active member and it reminded me of how special my organization and chapter are.

Getting involved with the Greek community is one of the best things I have done. You meet so many amazing people and are given so many opportunities to get involved and to make a difference in the community. Coming from New Jersey, I had no idea what I was doing 10 hours away from home, I wanted to find my people and I 10000% found them here! I was hesitant at first but I can confidently say now this was one of the best choices I’ve made!
How could I possibly just pick one?? There are so many amazing memories I hold so dear to my heart. But if I had to choose one, it would have to be getting my two perfect littles. My big and my littles have shown me what it means to be a woman and I am beyond thankful for all of them. My fam means the world to me and my Greek life experience wouldn’t be the same without them.

Going Greek allows you to create memories that will last a lifetime. You will always have a friendly face while walking on campus, a friend to grab coffee with, or a shoulder to cry on.
My favorite Greek life experience was getting my littles. They have both quickly become the sisters I never had, and I am so grateful to have them in my life.

As a current recruitment counselor, I believe that going Greek is more than just joining an organization; it's about finding a second family and a home away from home. The bonds formed within Greek life are deep and enduring, offering PNMs not only a support system during their college years but also lifelong friendships that transcend graduation. Being part of Greek life is an opportunity to create cherished memories, share traditions, and make a positive impact in the community, all while surrounded by a network of individuals who truly care about each other's growth and success.
My favorite Greek life experience was Big/Little Reveal. Receiving my family within my sorority was an incredibly sentimental experience for me. It wasn't just about gaining new friends; it was about finding a family who loved me wholeheartedly and welcomed me into their lives with open arms. At that moment, I felt a profound sense of belonging and love, knowing that I had found my home away from home and a support system that would stand by me through thick and thin.

Going Greek opens up so many doors for you. Because of Greek life, I have had so many leadership and networking opportunities that I wouldn’t have had if I wasn’t a part of an organization.
Getting my little was such a wholesome moment in my life. All of the bed-decorating days that led up to it built so much anticipation and excitement for both me and her! I see a lot of myself in her but we’re also very different in some ways. I’m so glad Greek life brought me to her.

Greek life opens up so many connections, and has truly become my home away from home. Being in Greek life means having a support system of the strongest and most inspiring women on campus!
My favorite Greek Life experience has been being able to serve on my organizations executive board. I was able to learn how to be a leader, and how to work in a team. Most importantly, I learned how to ask for help when needed and rely on others. Serving my chapter was hard work, but incredibly rewarding!

Embracing Greek life means becoming part of a supportive network that will cheer you on through every triumph and challenge, making your college journey all the more meaningful and memorable.
One of the best times in Greek Life was my chapter’s philanthropy walk. Seeing all my sisters and friends from different organizations coming together to support a cause we all care about made me so happy. My chapter’s philanthropy is something that really matters to me, so being part of that event meant a lot.

PNMs should go Greek because it is the best way to meet new people and find a circle of girls who you connect with and get along with. It can be a tough and intimidating experience but the experience itself is worth it and is very life-changing and adds to the college experience. I highly recommend girls going through this process and if they are questioning if they should I think they should!
My favorite Greek life experience was being on the chapter side of recruitment and being able to meet a ton of new girls and forming connections with them. I also enjoy seeing where they end up running home. Bid day was also my favorite part of the whole process.
