HECK YEAH GREEK LIFE
This blog is dedicated to highlighting the positive aspects of joining a sorority or fraternity. Right now it is only managed by me, but if anyone would be interested in helping out with the blog, message me! :D. About Me:
My name is Lesley and have been an active of my sorority since 2009. I love everything about my sisterhood and it is genuinely one of the best things I've ever done during my time at school. I'm grateful I took a leap of faith and decided to give Greek life a shot.
Could you pretty please add ‘graduating greeks’ as one of your tags?
I’d love to see your pictures and I’m sure my followers would love to also.
I myself will post mine as well soon, just got to find all of them lol
I want these! I love my Littles and G-Littles!

GRADUATION IS COMING!
And I’m fixing to cry!
If I were to post a quick Graduating Greek Challenge, would you be willing to participate?
In the days following I’m going to be going over the final details of graduation and finals like
In the morning I’m going to be like ‘Holy s*** today’s the day
When they call my name, Imma be like
When I walk the stage Imma be like
When I’m taking pics with my sisters and it sinks in that I’m no longer an undergrad and won’t have general meetings, exec meetings, council meetings, sisterhood retreats, sister dates, sister adventures, and pledge process to deal with each semester
When my parents tell me how freaking proud they are of their baby girl for getting her degree and being a good role model for young girls
When I’m in the car and I’m processing the fact that I’m no longer an active, but an alumni
But then I realized I’m going to be an alum still actively involved in my sisterhood and get so many perks being alum and potentially get to be a part of our governing board Imma be like
This is something I enjoy doing at retreats and we even did this at our national convention (we are a local organization) You will need: -one paper bag per member -markers, construction paper, craft stuff - small notecards -pens Each member decorates their bag however they like. Then they open and place them out on a table. Each member then proceeds to write something positive or a favorite memory of each sister on a notecard to leave in each members’ respective bags. The following morning after retreat actives get to take home a bag full of compliments they can read and keep.
