Falling Back in Love with Your Sorority

        There's a dirty little secret that no one tells you during recruitment, and that is that you will not always be in love with your sorority.  The secret goes something like this: you will not always be excited to go to retreats and mixers, and there may come a time where you dread giving up part of your Sunday to go to chapter. It is a possibility that at some point you will get burnt out on sorority life. That's okay, everyone goes through periods where other things take priority to staying active in the chapter, especially as graduation gets closer. 
       It's a part of growing up, however it doesn't mean that it's okay to just give up and go inactive or early alum, after all you did make a commitment to your organization. In the case that you find yourself feeling "meh" about your sorority for any number of reasons such as, friends graduating, harder classes/internships, or maybe your on some type of probation with your chapter, you should think to yourself "Why did I join, and why have I chosen to stay this long?" 
       The answer is most likely to be a part of something, to make lifetime connections, to have friends whose values are in line with your own. You joined because you knew that there is nothing like being in a sorority. If you're willing to start actively participating in your chapter again you might be surprised at how quickly you fall back in love.
