Personal Narrative: My Mom Joining A Sorority

102 Words1 Pages
My mom when she went to college wanted to join a sorority, but she was already working two jobs just so that she could attend college. She could not afford the price of the sorority on top of the price of school sadly. She wants me to do a sorority because she never had the opportunity too. That's why I went to the camp out. I didn't stay long, just long enough to ask some questions and eat a couple s'mores. Maybe next year I will rush just so I don't feel like I missed out on an opportunity like my mother.

Not the Stereotypical Sorority Girl Demographically, Livermore is approximately 80% white and about 5% Asian. As an Asian woman growing up in a majority white Caucasian community, I did not feel different from my peers. I had never felt out casted or felt like I was treated differently. While I did not intentionally apply to colleges that were demographically similar to home, it was a natural feeling going to Sonoma State University. Much like Livermore, Rohnert Park was about 65% white and 5% Asian.

“People ask why I am in a sorority & 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 gold pin, rituals, & obligation, or a way of life.

Why do I want to be a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority incorporated? Since I was a little girl I had grown up on the expectation that once I got to college I would pursue joining the organization Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority incorporated.

Outside of my sorority, I am involved in a few different things. I am a Peer Adviser, which has taught me so much about how to make the Northwestern community welcoming, as well as how to discuss difficult topics such as sexual assault and mental health. Helping students work through these sensitive issues and helping them find the resources they need all while navigating the novelty of college life has given me a wide variety of skills that I believe translate directly to sorority life. I also am highly involved in Northwestern’s dance community. I am a member of New Movement Project, a group of dance majors and minors that coordinates dance events and organization for both the dance department and Northwestern’s many dance groups.

For example, I am personally paying my own chapter dues and finically planning my budget in order to stay track with my finances while my cycle billings keep on being sent home where they freak out about how much everything costs because they cannot assist me with the cost due to financial circumstances at home. Trying to balance past medical bills due to health issues with four year-old brother, college tuition/books, and living expenses—there really is not any room for extra expenses in the household. I, personally, made the commitment knowing fully the cost and time I would need to put in to fully enjoy my experience in Alpha Delta Pi. However, a scholarship such as this being offered can help in me in anyway whether the scholarship goes towards my semester dues, or educational

I am interested in joining a sorority at the University of Arkansas because of the impact that cheerleading has brought upon my life. I cheered throughout High School and it was probably one of the best decisions I have ever made. It taught me so much in and out of the gym!
