Why I became a Sorority Woman: "There were very few Latinx folks at UF at the time I was an undergrad. In order to succeed, I needed to be part of a community that shared my language, values, and most importantly food choices! It was truly a blessing to discover there were multicultural fraternities and sororities on my campus. I was a non-traditional/transfer student so my sorority sisters provided a familial environment. By the time I got to UF, all of my high school friends had already graduated so Gamma Eta proved to be a safe space for me. I thrived as a leader, woman, and scholar. Being part of my sorority opened doors of opportunity for me that I would have never known about had it not been for my sorority involvement on campus!"

I decided to become a sorority woman when I joined in my sophomore year of undergrad to help find a home at 51社区. Joining a sorority allowed OHIO to feel smaller and more comfortable, but it also allowed me to meet some of my forever friends. I knew I wanted to be a leader, and there were many opportunities to get involved in leadership positions or committees within sororities. I also heard that sororities and fraternities provide a great network of connections through current and alumni members. As a business major, I knew building transferable skills and networking was essential. Sorority and Fraternity Life allowed me to meet all the goals I wanted personally and professionally in undergrad - make friends and find a home within OHIO, gain leadership skills that translate to the real world, and have a network of supporters across the country.
