A Sigma Phi Lambda finds more confidence and security
with her sister than she was able to in her sorority.
Stacy Glover, Livingston Sophomore, entered the Sigma
Phi Lambda sorority her freshman year but stopped
after one year.
As a whole, Glover was able to make new friends, but
only bonded a select number of girls. When given the
position as a rush captain, she realized she was not
pleased with the sorority.
“When I became rush captain, I began doing a lot of the dirty work for
them and I felt like I was being used,” Glover said.
After rush week, pledge week came. Most sororities
have approximately 45 to 50 girls. During fall
semester, while Glover was rush captain, the Sigma Phi
Lambda had 25 pledges. After this time the sorority
started losing girls. Glover then faced the fact that
being in a sorority was not for her.
“There was too much drama, so I decided to stop being
in the sorority,” Glover said.
Glover, a brown-eyed girl, average height, explained
even though she couldn’t create a bond of sisterhood
with her sorority, she knew she still had one waiting
for her at home. Glover’s sister, who is a senior at
SFA, has always been a support system for her.
When living at home, Glover and her sister used to
fight regularly. Since they have begun college, their
bond has strengthened. Rather than quickly making up a
fight at home, Glover and her sister are able to
easily resolve their disagreements.
“We used to get on each other’s nerves all the time,
but now we put each other in our own places,” she
said.
Glover and her sister used to be roommates at Steen,
but are currently living in an apartment. Because they
have lived together for so long, Glover’s sister is
able to open up more than she normally would.
“She even told me she was bulimic,” Glover said.
In contrast to her sorority, Glover is pleased with
the relationship she and her sister share. They
protect and confide in each other more so than ever.
Glover was hoping a sorority would offer the same, but
her sister came out to be the better solution.
Glover is also a trumpet player for the SFASU
Marching Band and is an advertising major.
“I think this is going to be my last year playing in the band,”
she said, “I am not even a band major and it takes up
time that I could be using for my communication
classes.”
