I first heard about Greek Impact from a girl in my sorority. I had talked to her about wanting to be more involved in my faith while having a Christian community to turn to while I was at W&M. I also felt like having faith in my life would help me to adjust to being away at college, and aid me establishing relationships with other Greeks who share my same views. She suggested that I come to Greek Conference, which I decided would be beneficial for me.

At first, I was worried that everyone would be more mature in their faith and not as lost as I was, but as I began to talk with all the other Greeks throughout the week, I realized that most of them were struggling with the same issues as me. Some of these issues included incorporating faith into our busy lives, trying to find a balance between Greek life and religion, and just our basic beliefs in God. The biggest thing that impacted me was being able to spend time in a totally Christian atmosphere. It was a pleasant break from my community at school because during the conference I was able to talk more openly with people about my faith, and it was encouraging to hear that other Greeks were facing the same challenges on their campuses. I really enjoyed the time everyone got to worship together as well. It was a great way to connect to all of the people in the room, and really share a moment with God.

After coming back from the conference, I decided to really try and incorporate God into my life. Since Greek Conference, I have been going to my sorority’s bible study every Wednesday so that each week I am dedicated to thinking and talking about my faith. During the conference, I was also able to hang out with members of other sororities from W&M. I still hang out with many of these girls, and it is nice to know that I can share my faith with them. Above all, I have come to realize that a relationship with God takes a long time to develop, but now I am dedicated to doing just that.
