I am in a sorority
and I try to explain all the
things a sorority is
that they cannot see.
A sorority is more than
letters
on a sweatshirt, I say.
More than traditional songs,
a golden pin, rituals,
an obligation, or
a way of life.
A sorority is learning
about people,
A sorority is giving
without expecting a return.
A sorority is earning
respect from others,
as well as for yourself.
A sorority will not solve
all your problems.
But I have made good friends
and found confidence there,
to help me take life
one step
at a time.
