Sorority sisters. I remember when I was deciding to join with my friends in bringing a chapter of alpha Kappa Delta Phi to our school. I remember trying to 'convince' my dad it was going to benefit me. See, in the Philippines sororities are notoriously known for extreme hazing and to him there was this imprinted negative connotation in his mind. I remember specifically saying "it will help me network all across the nation", which sold it. He's big on the ever true cliche of It's not what you know, it's who you know. I remember my parents telling me they were afraid for me because of how shy I was, not sure if I was going to be able to make friends while I was away at school. I showed them didn't I?
And network I did. Some of my closest friends are my sorority sisters, and most of them don't live locally! That being said, I used the network to my advantage. It's fabulous, and I got the chance to meet such wonderful women. Their passion inspired mine and vice versa.
