Brainy, Beautiful, and All Business

I know you're wondering about the brain diagram posted, but it is not so we can study the frontal lobe. The brain is a machine with parts that must work together to perform at optimum efficiency. This is how a sorority should work.

The parts of a sorority, much like the parts of the brain, help it to function at its best. What are the parts you ask? There are positions, leaders and committees that hold a sisterhood together. Sororities are not unorganized messes populated by silly college girls. Another stereotype disproved?

I just mentioned that there are positions, leaders and committees that help a sorority stick together. Imagine theses three things as the parts to the brain diagram shown.

Leaders would be the president, vice president, and other member of the executive board, and yes, there is an executive board. They even meet in a spacious plush boardroom. I am not making this stuff up. Staff positions are the next in line. I am the sorority historian, which is an office position. Other positions include: social chair, publicity chair, and insignia chair among others. but you get the idea. There are too many to name.

Lastly, there are committees. Committees come in handy with bigger projects like fundraisers. Often there are social, fundraising, and philanthropy committees, but each campus is different.

All of these counterparts have to work together, even though they sometimes disagree. That's why we have business meetings, bylaws, and all out girl war (ok maybe not). Sorority sisters try their best to work together, agree, and be a brain.

Did I mention the brain also symbolizes how intelligent a sister has to be? Well they do. High GPAs are a must. Think about it... you don't think a stupid girl could really manage all that? Another stereotype defied. That's two in one post!
