When I was going through recruitment, I had yet to experience what “Theta pride” was. I wondered, how someone could be so proud to represent their sorority? I was convinced by their sincerity and genuine love of theta. There must be quite a reason to be so proud to say “I’m a theta,” and what I can tell you is that they were absolutely right.

When joining a sorority, first you become a part of it, then it becomes a part of you.

Thetas are leaders, always finding a way to make their personal endeavors succeed and individual dreams a reality. The vibe that is created when you are surrounded by a group of extremely driven women is invigorating. What was told to me during my Pref night in Theta, was that “Theta is an extremely impressive group of women.” Little did I know, that if I wanted help achieving my life goals, Theta is accountable for introducing me to my daily inspiration.

Becoming a Theta is a growing process. One of our members, as she was going through recruitment last year, said it best: “The other sorority is where I am, Theta is where I want to be.” I have been a Theta for four years and I am still learning what it means to be a Theta.

Each of my sisters are so different from one another. A few years ago, we were asked to “wear shoes that reflect who we are.” The room was filled with rugby shoes, high top nikes (that I could pull off), five inch stilettos, you name it…a sister wore it. The common thread between these women, wasn’t a color or matching shirt (although we do love those), but it is the notion that we each strive to be the best at who we are. There is no pre-fabricated mold of a Theta.
