Another Year, Another Recruitment

Sorry this post is a few days late! It was that time of year again. This past weekend, the sororities of Transylvania held their recruitment and swept up some wonderful new members! It’s no secret that Transy’s Greek community is prominent on campus—around 60% of students will join a Greek organization. I know it may sound scary with all the typical images of Greek life with which the media bombards us—the toga parties, the drunken debauchery, the drama, the exclusivity and pompousness—but I’m here to tell you that Transylvania is different.

Had I attended any other University, I would have never even considered going Greek. I’m way too concerned about my academic endeavors. At Transy, though, academics come first no matter what Greek organization you join. In fact, one of the most coveted awards at Greek awards every spring is the “highest GPA” award. Sounds different from what you’d expect right? Imagine Greek communities competing over how much service they can complete, how involved on campus they can be, and how high their grades can soar instead of competing over who looks the prettiest or who can party the hardest. That’s Transy’s Greek system. It’s ranked in the top 10 Greek colleges in the nation for a reason, and I am SO proud to be a part of it. It has facilitated so many of my accomplishments these past couple of years, and no doubt will continue to do so!

Here are a couple pictures from the weekend!
