5 Reason Why Sorority Women Make Great Leaders

    It is always the same old stereotypes when it comes to "defining" a sorority woman. I can't tell you how many times people have told me "Oh, you bought your friends" or "You must go to a lot of parties". Truthfully, the list can go on and on.

While there is some truth behind SOME (not all) of the stereotypes that are placed on sorority women, most are wrong when they depict a sorority women as  "lazy", "narrow-minded", or "unintelligent"

Being a part of a sorority, if nothing else, forces you to jump head first into being a leader (not a follower). There is a certain standard of excellence required by that organization and furthermore, a sense of pride that every sorority girl feels when she wears her letters. Each and everyday, sorority women strives to earn and deserve the letters that they wear across their chest.

That being said, here are 10 reasons why Sorority Women Make Great Leaders

1. Most sorority women are extremely (and sometimes painstakingly) organized. This is because sorority women have a lot to juggle. Between classes, events, and meetings sorority women have to plan out their days in advance.

2. Since sorority women are very busy, a typical sorority girl has perfected the craft of multitasking.

3. Every sorority sister has a role in her chapter and/or overall Greek community. Whether it is a committee head, a member of the executive board, or a representative at meetings for her chapter, sorority women hold leadership positions throughout their time as an active member.

4.  Sorority women are also very good at communication and networking. From sending out the minutes from the latest chapter meeting, to coordinating with other chapters for events, Greek women communicate effectively and efficiently.

5. Sorority women have standers, not only as an organization or a chapter, but on a personal level. These standers allow for sorority women to embrace their roles within their chapters.

At the end of the day, sorority women make great leaders because being in a sorority often helps mold leaders. These leaders continue the legacy of the chapter and often go on into the real world better prepared for their jobs in their chosen field.
