Why I Love Kappa Phi
College is a wonderful time in life. You get to meet a bunch
of new people, gain new experiences, and really find yourself as a person. What
you choose to do with your time is completely up to you which is great, but
also intimidating. It makes you wonder what the best way to spend your limited
free time doing is. And it forces you to narrow down what you will be involved
in. For me, the best thing I could’ve done my freshman year was join Kappa Phi.
If you don’t know, Kappa Phi is a Christian club with 28 chapters
at colleges and universities all over the country. Our four pillars are
fellowship, service, study and worship and they’re pretty much what we stand for.
Fellowship means spending time together and getting to know one another.
Service is giving back and helping those around us. Study helps us all to grow
in our faith and be better sisters. And worship is our way of refocusing and giving
God our time during the week. These elements are the focus of every chapter
around the country, and they’re what all 2,718 members have chosen to invest
their time in college focusing on.
For me, Kappa Phi was a great way for me to really get going
in college. I joined my first semester and it was absolutely the best thing I
could have done for myself. I went in not really knowing much about it, I just
knew from the moment I met everyone that I wanted to become a part of it. I
felt welcome and loved. I was a very shy person when I first came to school and
being surrounded by so many people who cared about me really helped me come out
of my shell. It was an environment I felt comfortable being myself in, so I got
to completely relax and just hang out. It helped me to grow as a person, and
figure out what kind of person I want to be in this new chapter of my life. As
the oldest in my family, sometimes it can be hard to find people to look up to
and relate to. And when I walked into sisterhood it felt like I was surrounded
by 20 some big sisters that I could rely on.
In December of 2015 I became an official member of the Alpha
Omega chapter at ONU. I got my wonderful big, Claire, who has been one of the
most positive influences I’ve ever had. And I also gained a great family of
people who would do anything for me. Having such a solid support system makes
it so much easier to be away from home. I know that if I’m ever having a bad
day I can call any one of my sisters and they will make sure I am taken care of
and loved. I have so many stories of hysterical laughter, adventures, and just
plain silliness because of this fantastic group of people. I believe positivity
is the key to life, and finding my niche in this positive group of people can
make any day great. It’s nearly impossible to have a negative attitude knowing
you’re so loved.
Kappa Phi one of my favorite parts about being at school and
I highly recommend it to any young lady looking for a great group of friends.
Or, if you’re a guy, be one of our STE brothers. There’s a place for everyone
and I believe it’s one of the best things you can do for yourself during this
crucial part of life. I’m so glad I chose it for myself and found my home.
Sisters in Christ, sisters for life.
