I came to UW and did not want to join a sorority. I learned from my roommate that sorority life had a lot to offer to their members. Once I began to go through recruitment, I found this to be very true. Through my experience I have gained lifelong friends, support throughout college, skills that will help me to begin my career, and networking opportunities. My college experience has grown immensely and I know that sorority life has helped me become a better person. – Christine Pond, VP Recruitment, Panhellenic Council
