Some of you may be thinking, "Oh geez...Kim joined a sorority" well you are completely wrong! I joined a service fraternity! What is a service fraternity you may ask, well it is a coed group of us that does service projects all over the city of Akron. We have officially greek letters and do a big/little exchange every semester and we also have a formal every spring semester! The only thing that makes us different from other fraternities is that we do not have a house and on Akron's campus we are not technically considered greek life.
I pledged Spring of 2011 and it has probably been the best thing that has ever happened to me! I have met the most amazing people in this fraternity and I couldn't ask for anything more. The people in APO have the same drive to do service like I do but also love to have fun! We do so many crazy things during the semester like our yearly retreat we do and every time we all get together it is always a blast!
I might be a little bias on this but I do believe that I have the BEST Big ever! I found out that Sarah was my Big and I was her Little in January and ever since then Sarah and I have become such amazing friends and I honestly don't know what I would do without her. She has gotten me through a lot this past semester and I thank her for always being able to talk to me when I am stressed out or frustrated about things. And I never hesitate to call her when I need to just talk with someone. I consider her like an old sister to me, I am the oldest in my family and I never had anyone to look up to or be able to go to someone with my problems and have them help me, I now have Sarah and I thank God for putting her into my life! I love you Sarah :]
But don't even get met started on my twins, Felicia and Michelle! I love you guys! We all are the exact person and I love being around you guys. Just hanging out with you two I am always in a better mood. Going to Luigi's and eating brain salads or taking "sex faced" pictures on our computers and posting them on facebook (hahahaha!!!!!!) I always have a good laugh when I'm around you guys! Love you two so very much :]
So, if you are going to Akron some join our fraternity! We would love to have you. But if your going to a different college just look up Alpha Phi Omega and its a good possibility your campus has a chapter. Join and see what you think and I honestly bet you will feel the exact same thing I do!
