I’ll admit I’m an alum- an alum who didn’t truly understand the benefits of sorority life until a sister (from a different chapter who I didn’t know) helped me get my first job when I graduated. Until that job took me 1500 miles away to a big city where a local alumnae chapter took me in and helped me get acclimated. Until i made it back to Knoxville and found myself involved with the chapter at UT again-whose members got to know me and my kids like family. Until my pledge sister from twenty years ago who lives in NYC called me last week crying after a week of profound loss because the comfort of lifelong sisters outweighs the fast paced friendships of the city by tenfold. So yes, as an advisor I check these boards every once in a while to make sure there are no online issues (most of this site is made-up drama). And that may seem a little weird, for sure. But once you experience a lifetime of caring, you’ll realize you would respond too. So whatever “crappy” parts you perceive or (have the good fortune to) go through: long nights of dance practice, pomping for Homecoming floats in the basement of a foul smelling frat house, or having extra pressure on a final because you want to get that 4.0 to help the chapter GPA....consider it a blessing. Maybe you’ll marry that guy sitting next to you pomping into the wee hours of the morning. I did. 👍🏼
