BELIEVING I believe that being in a sorority will continue even of er I IN WHAT YOU graduate from college. I gained a sense o because I STAND FOR actually belonged to a group that I was proud to represent. PAULA LOMANACO Continued from page 7d Lo Monaco, like many Greeks, was not as active in her sorority now as when she was a pledge. But, she said that the commitment was well worth it in the end. When individuals go through pledging, they have more obligations because they are earning the right to be active, she said. Once you gain active status, it ' s a breeze. She added that Greek life helped her to make friends that were long-lasting. Most of her closest friends were in her sorority and she believed that she would keep in touch with these women after college was over. I believe that being in a sorority will continue even after I graduate from college, Lo Monaco added. She stressed that the most important thing she received out of the Greek system was a sense of pride for ASU. She said it helped her learn so much about the university that she would not have learned on her own. I gained a sense of confidence because I actually belonged to a group that I was proud to represent, she added. Lo Monaco said she selected Chi Omega over the other sororities because she felt the most comfortable with that group. It stood out, it had a unique variety of different girls which made me feel comfortable, Lo Monaco said. She added that one of the most important parts of the Greek system was Greek Week, which pulled all the Greeks together to raise money for the charity of their choice. There is a great since of accomplishment and a real since of pride for the Greek system for raising various money for charities, Lo Monaco said. She added that the one thing that she liked least about being Greek was the way non-Greeks viewed the system and the way actives tended to stereotype. Probably the thing that I like the least is the way that stereotypes are tacked on by non- greeks and also the ones that are present within the system itself, Lo Monaco said.

Paula and of the Chi Omega for some d-day conversation My good have graduate but I ' m still lose contact them . (Left) a pauses for a to look at red and blue A on the Tempe es which was a University of Arizona Photo by Craig BEYOND Homecoming a part of a fraternity or sorority was one way that students became a part of the college community. For people who were outside of that involvement it was easy to misunderstand what it was all about. Students often found that being a part of the greek system didn ' t only mean wearing the letters, but it also meant believing in what they stood for. Paula Lo Monaco, an English major and member of Chi Omega sorority, was one of the few students who didn ' t mind shedding some light on the subject of greek life . Lo Monaco said she felt that being a part of the greek system changed her entire college life. She said that it had been exciting and more worthwhile than if she had not been involved in the greek system. How did it make it more worthwhile? For Lo Monaco, it was just by making college seem more like a place where she belonged. She added that being greek helped socially and with her education, especially with meeting people who could assist her with her studies. I heard more about things such as tutors, intramurals and social gatherings, she said. The greek system helps point things out socially, scholastically and athletically. She added that greek life helped make her college life better because there were a lot of academic to keep her grades up. Scholarships are always being rewarded for good grades, she said.
