Pledging Delta Xi Phi— is it worth it?

Most members of any sorority would say it is about “being part of a sisterhood” which is the most cliched response of all time.

This could be true when seen on the surface but as most of us know there is way more substance than what is on the surface.

 Nowadays society has portrayed sororities to look like a superficial girls club that only “some” are allowed to join, if they are selected by existing members of that sorority.

In order to get a “bid” most sororities go through a process called “pledging” where some girls go through hazing to finally gain acceptance into a sorority.

 After gaining a bid into Delta Xi Phi, the sorority has a strict anti-hazing policy here there is no need to worry about doing something crazy like streaking on campus or finishing a whole fifth of liquor by yourself. The sisters of Delta Xi Phi encourage friendship and support one another.

 However, sorority life at Cabrini is not like the normal clique most people would think.

The Delta Xi Phi Sorority at Cabrini is multicultural, tied closely with the American Cancer Society and coned in on community service.

 Joining a sorority is like committing to any extra-curricular activity, there needs to be

dedication.

It just so happens that Delta Xi Phi focuses a lot of its energy on community service and that might not be each person’s view of a sorority.

 Looking at the reviews on colleges.niche.com about Cabrini’s greek life, comments say “there is no greek life” or “you can’t join an actual sorority, they just have tiny volunteer groups that they refer to as a sorority”.

Here is the deal, there is only one sorority as well as one fraternity on Cabrini’s campus at the moment, there is room for improvement in greek life on campus. No one said expanding greek life was never an option, there just needs to be someone to bring another one onto campus.
