Like many women going into college, I wasn’t sure that Greek Life was for me. I can confidently say now as a senior that going through recruitment Freshman year and going DG has been one of the best choices I have made during my time at Furman. When I went through recruitment, the only thing I was truly looking for or expecting was to make friends. And I did. I’ve met some of the most amazing, driven, kind, and intelligent women. Women I am proud to call my sisters and some that I am even privileged enough to call my best friends. These friendships and these people are endlessly precious to me, but being a part of this organization has given me so much more than just friendship. One thing that DG has given me that took me by surprise was confidence in myself. I had been pretty shy and self-conscious early on, but the women of DG really encouraged me to come out of my shell by being the best hype women imaginable. I was seen and appreciated just as I was. I wasn’t asked to become someone I wasn’t, but rather I was given the opportunity to be the best, most authentic version of myself. When I became more confident in who I was and what I bring to the table, I was able to better use my gifts to make a difference in Delta Gamma. I learned that I could be a leader in my own way—that there wasn’t just one kind of leader. I didn’t have to change to be heard or accepted. So, two years into being a member, and I had the confidence to not only serve on the Chapter Management Team as VP Social Standards, but also to do stand up comedy in front of the chapter during my weekly officer reports. The fundamentals of who I am haven’t changed, but now I know what those fundamentals are. I know now that I have all the makings and capabilities of a strong leader, and for that, I have DG to thank.

One year ago, I decided to make the best decision and go DG, I never thought that I would go through recruitment, but I am glad I did, I have found my best friends in DG and girls who constantly support me through everything that I do. Every girl has inspired me in different ways, whether that is to try something new or to run for a position in my chapter! I always see myself laughing, smiling, and loving the fact that I chose Delta Gamma as my new home. These women continue to motivate me and they all represent Article 2 in many ways. The individualism that I found in DG has opened so many opportunities for me to meet new people and experience things that I wouldn't have been able to do if I decided not to go through recruitment. Not even a full month after recruitment, I automatically found a support system, and that's what I think is so amazing about the girls in Delta Gamma. The sisterhood in Delta Gamma is what drew me to go to DG all the support and love that I was able to witness within the 3 days of just talking to the girls. If I needed someone to talk to I always had a DG who was happy to talk to me or if I just needed someone to go try new foods with me I knew who I could call. I have never experienced such support, acceptance, love, and kindness from a group of girls. Walking into the chapter, I felt myself relaxed as I knew that I was entering the room of girls who wanted nothing but the best for me. The support from DG has helped me grow in confidence in myself and has given me such amazing friends that I don’t know if I would have met if I had not gone through recruitment.

Delta Gamma has given me the greatest support group which has led to finding my best friends! I am constantly inspired and supported in this chapter and could not ask for better role models. I am surrounded by confident women that push me to be a better person each and every day. I am also in awe of the leadership opportunities this chapter has given me. Delta Gamma has given me a sense of belonging at Furman and I am forever grateful!
