I have always been that quiet girl
who is deathly afraid to go and join in on a conversation, and being a sports
management major that’s going to require me to be able to speak to a crowded
room. When I came to college I decided
that that wasn’t going to be who I am anymore, and last night I made the first
step towards reinventing myself for the better. This month is rush week for the
sororities and I went to the mocktail mixer for Omega Zeta Pi, a local sorority
at Southern. Listening to the sisters
talk about the sorority has done for them, making them more social and more
involved, is exactly what I have been looking for. I have had the same best friend from middle
school, and now that were going to separate colleges, that feeling of closeness
with someone is gone and there is a void inside of me that needs to be filled,
and I feel that I can get that from Omega Zeta Pi. Hearing what the members had
to say made me realize that a sorority is more than just a place to party, it
is a place where you meet lifelong friends and meet people who want to help you
and will be there for you whenever you need, no matter the time or place.
For the
first time I wasn’t afraid to just jump in and start talking to people that I have
never met before. Omega Zeta Pi made you feel like it was okay to just people yourself,
and that they would accept you no matter who you are or where you came from. Going
to the mocktail mixer last night felt like, not only the first step but the
right step towards making me come out of my shell and not be so shy, and I think
that going to more of the events that are held during rush week will definitely
help to become a more open and talkative person.
