“I truthfully wasn’t planning on joining a sorority when I got to college. An old friend convinced me to give it a try and see what going greek had to offer. One day into recruitment, I was sold. I could tell that the friendships these women had were sincere and lifelong. Once I joined my sorority, I had so many incredible opportunities in the palm of my hands. Joining a sorority has molded me into a confident leader and grateful friend. I’m am so happy to have joined a sorority and will forever be proud to wear my letters.”

“Coming to Penn State from Kentucky was a huge adjustment, and I did not know anyone else at school. I decided to go through recruitment because many of my friends at other schools told me how it was such a great experience for them, and I wanted to make my big school feel smaller. I have never felt more welcomed or at home with a group of girls than I do with my chapter. These women that I now call my sisters are some of the brightest, funniest, most inspiring women I know, and I am so happy that I decided to ‘go greek.’ Panhellenic has opened so many doors from me, and I know I will carry these experiences and people with me wherever I go.”

“Coming into my freshman year, I was really nervous being at such a big school. I didn’t want to get lost in thousands of people or be considered  a “number.”  I wanted to find a way to make Penn State feel like home. I never thought that joining Greek Life would open as many doors as it has for me. My experience in a sorority has lead me to unforgettable opportunities, leadership development, and most of all, my best friends. My sisters and friends in the Greek community are the girls that stick with me through thick and thin. Not once have I questioned my decision to go Greek, and it has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life!”
