I am a Kappa Delta Girl

Despite the stereotypes, being a woman of a sorority is one of the most incredible things I have ever chosen to do. From the moment I walked in and met the girls for the first time, I knew Kappa Delta was the place I was meant to be. It feels so great to have a place where women with similar values and goals surround you but who are also so diverse. It is always cool to look around to all the women who you feel so close to and get along so well with, and see all the different types of people who come from such different places and backgrounds.

Not only has being a Kappa Delta woman brought me a new family; it also has allowed me the opportunity to do so much community service. Although many people think all sorority girls do is party, fail school and get boys, this couldn’t be farther than the truth. Serving the community that we are a part of is one of the top priorities. We go help anywhere and everywhere that needs us, whether its sorting clothes at the ARC, helping out at the local YMCA or assisting kids at one of the elementary schools shop for Christmas presents for their families. Our sorority is made up of people who really care about the people around them.

We also work hand-in-hand with our national philanthropies, which are the Girl Scouts and Prevent Child Abuse America. We focus on building confidence in young girls, which is so important in this day and age. It feels so amazing to get to be a mentor to young girls in the Girl Scouts and to help them growing into inspiring young women. Through PCAA we get to save kids that can’t save themselves. Through both of these organizations I get to bring share my passion of helping others and that is one of the many reasons I am passionate about being a woman of a sorority.

Kappa Delta has also allowed me to grow as a leader, be involved on campus and make connections with people I would have never done so otherwise. Within our own sorority, there are ample amounts of leadership positions varying in responsibilities. I currently hold the assistant public relations officer position but some day I hope to hold a hire office in which I can make an even bigger difference in Kappa Delta. Also, we have the opportunity to hold leadership positions for Greek life as a whole, through Panhellenic Council. It is also a joy to see how many Greek life members are a part of the student government for the whole university. Everywhere you look you are bound to find someone in Greek life.

Just being in Greek life bonds you to so many people. You have so many people you can call your Greek life brothers and sisters. These people are there for you no matter how well they know you specifically because you share so many common friends. Although we are a somewhat large group of people, we are a close nit community!

I am so proud to be a woman of Kappa Delta and to call myself a sorority girl. I believe so strongly in what it means to be both of those things and I would never want to be anything else. It’s not just for four years, it’s for life!
