INTRODUCTION
Sorority-- a group of girls or women associated for a common purpose. It can be also a social organization of female students at a college or university, usually identified by Greek Letters. A sorority can be a great way to build friendships, build a small community within a university setting, and find opportunities for leadership and service. But people also associate sororities with elitism, racism, alcohol abuse, eating disorders and promiscuity. So, what is life in a sorority really like? When you think of a sorority, you're probably thinking of a national sorority. A national sorority has chapters all over the country that answer to a governing body. A local sorority, on the other hand, has no ties to a national affiliate organization. When sororities were founded, college campuses were dominated by men. Many female students felt isolated, not just because the male students outnumbered them, but because this was a time when women were largely considered unsuited to higher education. Sororities began as a way for women to find intellectual and social companionship with one another.

It does make one try harder to raise more money for service projects, being stereotyped by the media, and people who don't know us. It helped me not take things so personally. Some
