Why did you join a UNK sorority?
I joined a UNK sorority because I wanted to be a part of something greater than myself and be involved with like-minded individuals who value the same principles as I do.
What’s the best part of Fraternity and Sorority Life?
The best part of FSL is the connections you get to make. I’m a people person and meeting/engaging with new people is the best. You also have people who keep you accountable and become a lifelong support system.
How has Fraternity and Sorority Life impacted your college career?
FSL has enabled me to strengthen my time management and organization skills. Being in Greek Life is highly time-consuming and it’s important that I get to develop those skills while being surrounded by a strong support system. I’ve also been introduced to so many new experiences. As a first-generation student, I’ve found it super beneficial.
Why should incoming students get involved with Fraternity and Sorority Life?
I think new students should get involved with FSL because you get to meet people within your organization who value the same principles/pillars as you do, so there are already commonalities, making it easier to make friends. You also get to be involved in so many activities and it’s a great way to network. I’ve been given many opportunities and have met so many people because of my involvement in FSL and getting my name out there.
