When it comes down to it, I joined a sorority for the friends and deep rooted connections. There were several reasons I wanted to join, but overall that sums it up. 

I have always valued deep rooted and close friendships. Every personality/values quiz, loyalty was my top trait. The friends I have are the friends I’ve had for years. Not that I’m not up to making new friends and opening myself up, because that’s exactly what it took to join a sorority, but I do highly value the people that have been there for me in the long term. 

Most of the girls that go through recruitment have the same ideology and are heavily concerned with making deep rooted friendships, especially when you’re at a new place like college. A lot of the girls that go through recruitment may not even be freshmen. A lot of the girls in my pledge class are sophomores. This is mainly due to the fact that they didn’t want to go through recruitment during the Covid season.

Joining a sorority was great and brought me so many friends that radiate love and loyalty. I recommend this to anyone who values friendships, like me.
