Sorority Conventions

It is tough to go to a college out of state. I only had a few people from my high school go to the same college as I did and I really didn’t even know them very well. So when I got here my freshman year and a girl on the same floor in my dorm told me about rush week, I decided I would try the sorority thing. Thankfully I did, because I met an amazing group of friends that three years later I am still tight with and I have gotten to do a ton of new things since I joined.

I have stayed friends with most of the girls that I have met my freshman year in my sorority over the past 4 years. And I have also had many opportunities with them to help my community and raise awareness for charities that I feel strongly about. We team up with Dove to teach younger girls and teens to feel great about themselves. I have also gotten to work with a children’s hospital.

There are a ton of great things that we get to do each year and one of the best things is pick people to go to a team building a leadership conference. We learn how to work better as a group and also how to get more people in our sorority. Another thing that it helps us do and communicate with the community and get them involved in our events and charities. This way we don’t just have college students, we have families and schools and even retirement homes as well helping out our cause and driving in awareness to people who may not have known at all in the past.

I was picked to go last year to the convention and it was amazing because we got to take a private jet there. Twenty of us from my chapter went and we got to the airport and we had no idea about the private jet charter so we were surprised when we got there! We took it to headquarters in Texas and then home again after back to school.

I wish that there was a way for us to go every year but I guess it is only fair to leave those spots open for the girls that have not yet had the chance. We learned so much that we are going to use for the next few years and when we got back we help little group meetings to teach everyone else what we learned and how to use it in our chapter and our next events. Our annual event that we are known for was a huge hit last year and I would like to think it will just keep getting better with the advice we are getting.

If you are planning a getaway for school you might want to consider chartering a private jet. Private jet charter is fast and a lot more stress free. Visit the Uber Article Directory to get a totally unique version of this article for reprint.
