Sorority Girl =Working girl: How Your Chapter Can Help You Prepare For The Working World

Joining a sorority can easily top the list as one of the greatest decisions a woman can make during college. While stereotypes paint the experience as nothing more than a “good time”, the reality is that joining a sorority helps prepare and mold you for the real world. 

From the inside looking in, you as a sorority woman, realize that being “Greek” is so much more responsibility. From planning events, to being on the executive board, to being a big,  Greek life teaches you the three most important things you will need as you enter the rest of your life.  Confidence, Knowledge, and Experience. 

Need more proof? 

When you are on a job interview and your potential employer asks if you will be able to a manager of other employees, you know you can because you were on your chapter’s e-board.

Or what if your boss asks you to have 20 tasks due by Monday, you can handle it because you had to balance so much being a student and a member of Greek Life. 

Let's sayyou want to plan a fundraiser to raise money for an important cause, you know exactly what to do because you had to plan events for your chapter once a month. 

People say that college provides you the foundation for the rest of your life, if that is true, being Greek provides you with a second floor. It gives you more than foundation, it give you another level. 

 As someone who has been working in my field since I left college, I can honestly say that I left Pace University a better student, leader, and person after joining Phi Sigma Sigma on my campus. I left the sheltered halls of that campus ready and eager to follow my dreams, make a difference, and change the world. The strength and confidence to pursue my passions were developed from being Greek.  More importantly,  my experience is that I am not the only one. 

So as you prepare to go into the new semester, remember to be as active as you can in your chapter, because being in sorority will open many doors for you, teach you many lessons, and will give you everything you need post graduation.
