As you can tell by the title, I’m an only child. With that comes its perks but it also comes with some downsides. I never had that built-in best friend that a lot of my friends feel with their sisters. I never had that person to look up to; run to with all of my boy troubles; never that person I could tell my deepest darkest secrets to. I know people will sometimes say “ugh having a sister is so annoying, we fight all the time.” I even wish I had that. I am not saying I’m not grateful for being an only child, because I am. I just wish sometimes I had a forever BFF that would be there through thick and thin no matter what.
Well now, I have over 150.
This spring I hesitantly decided to join Kappa Delta. Let me tell you, it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It has opened up so many doors for amazing opportunities I wouldn’t have otherwise. Through this organization, I am 10 times more active in the UNH community than I would’ve been without KD.
Every girl in KD is unique and special in their own individual ways. I still have yet to meet half of the sisters, but let me tell you, these are some GREAT people, like wow. Without KD, I probably wouldn’t have met these girls but I’m glad I did. Everyone I have had the chance to talk to and become close with has shown me a different perspective on life and has made me become a better person. I know they’ll always be there for me and I’ll do the same for them.
I said when I joined I wouldn’t change as a person but I can feel I am. I’m not saying I’m changing into some stereotypical “snotty sorority girl”, I’d say I’m turning into a powerful woman, who’s confident in herself and who’s not afraid to stand up to what she believes in.
I encourage anyone and everyone to look into joining Greek life as it offers so many amazing things and makes college feel just a tad smaller.
