Ex- Phi Sig

I would like to start this blog off by saying, I am not trying to bash my old sorority, any sorority or Greek life in any way.

I was once a member of Phi Sigma Sigma. I am choosing to write about this over other communities I am a part of because it has played the most significant role in my life to date. I joined the sorority my freshman year in college when my wants and needs were much different than they are now. I was coming from a different state and finding friends was on the top of my priority list. one of Phi Sig's core values is inclusiveness though i never really felt included much of the time i was in. I felt more pressured to go to events than actually wanting to go to them because of this. They encourage good grades, studying, and campus involvement, but they struggle when it comes to letting lose and having fun. It is supposed to be a sisterhood but it is more like a business. I was sent to judicial board almost every Sunday and was kicked out of meeting once. most of the time the things I was brought to Jboard about were petty. I continuously heard about people talking about me and the things i was doing but they were overly nice to my face. I talk to more sisters now than I was in Phi Sigma Sigma. The sorority taught me a lot of things which i am grateful for, but after 3 years of BS I finally took the step to get out.
