Theta Love & Mine

I did Theta COB because, at first, I wasn't sure if Greek life was the right fit for me. When one of my best friends joined Theta and encouraged me to give it a try, I took the leap and am so glad I did! I was worried that joining later might make it harder to form connections, but from the very first recruitment event, I felt an overwhelming sense of warmth and belonging. The sisters welcomed me with open arms, and their kindness and supportive community instantly made Theta feel like home. My sisters have become my best friends, and I'm so lucky to have the BEST family! My big went above and beyond to make me feel special, and she has shaped my Theta experience in the best way possible. Theta has been so much more than I ever imaged — it has given me lifelong friendships, opportunities to grow as a leader, and countless memories I'll cherish forever 💛🖤

Theta has given me a space where I can be myself!! This sisterhood has allowed me to meet so many cool people that I would have otherwise not talked to, and I would never trade my experience in it for anything!

From the very first open house, I knew I wanted to be a Theta. Meeting my future big was like finding a kindred spirit — we had so much in common that it felt like we could be half-sisters! My love for Theta only grew when my roommate spoke highly of her Theta friend from spin class, and how amazing Theta is. Becoming a Theta has truly changed my perspective on Greek life, and I wish I could put into words how much I look forward to attending chapters and sisterhood events with my sisters. Our sisterhood is filled with welcoming, funny, and uplifting women who amaze me every day. From grabbing picantes at night to making big/little shirts, Theta has been one of the biggest blessings at Tufts. I am so lucky to have called some of my closest friends, my sisters!!

I thought theta for two reasons! The first was that the girls I talked to during recruitment seemed so genuine, thoughtful, and kind. It was clear that the sisters had created a special community and had great connections with one another. The second reason why I went Theta was because my mom and grandma are both Thetas, and are actively involved in my hometown's alumni chapter. I had seen how this community positively contributed to their lives well beyond college, and I wanted this lifelong connection for myself as well. I love Theta!!

When I attended my first recruitment event, I was nervous and unsure if joining a sorority was the right fit for me. Little did I know, Theta would become an integral part of my college experience. The sisterhood and support I've found here have given me the confidence to step outside of my comfort zone, grow as a leader, and embrace new challenges. Through Theta, I've met some of my closest friends and role models who continue to inspire me every day. I am so grateful for the opportunities and experiences Theta has given me that have helped shape who I am today 💞

I went Theta because I knew the girls who did formal recruitment and absolutely loved their experience! Those girls are now some of my best friends, with the new additions of my big, littles, and grandlittles :) Going COB helped me to get to know Theta at a great pace, which I found to be very manageable and personalized. Theta has given me a home on campus and a sisterhood that I can always rely on <3 TLAM!!

I went Theta because I wanted to make new friends, and this sisterhood has meant so much to me for the last three years. Some of my best friends are from Theta, and it's clear at each sisterhood event that Tufts Thetas are genuine, kind people. Being in Theta has allowed me to try new things around Boston, and I will miss this community so much when I graduate. 

I went Theta because I wanted to break out of my shyness bubble and meet new people. I vibed with both chapters but ultimately chose Theta as I knew I belonged there, and found my closest friends that I will have for life!!

Being a Theta has been one of the highlights of my Tufts experience. I joined looking to expand my network and become more active in college, and have achieved that goal and more through the social, academic, service, and leadership opportunities Theta provides. From smaller events like ice skating to dancing the night away at formal, Theta events are welcoming spaces that I always leave feeling even happier than when I entered. This sisterhood has introduced me to lifelong friendships, brought me out of my comfort zone, and built my confidence. Our sisters support one another, inspiring us to be our best selves, and I will always be grateful to the Eta Psi chapter for its impact on me!

Joining Theta through COB was one of the best choices I've ever made during my time at Tufts. COB removed the pressure and anxiety of the formal recruitment process and gave me a chance to have more meaningful conversations with the sisters before joining. I just wanted to meet new people after the COVID year, but Theta had become much more than that. I had not only joined an amazing community of girls, but also an organization with opportunities for professional and personal growth. Living in the house also added to my experience because my sisters and best friends were just a few steps away. My favorite memories include late night pizza and yap sessions on the couch, ice skating adventures at the frog pond, and spontaneous walks to Teele Square for icecream. I'm beyond lucky to have found my people through Theta!

My advice to anyone who wants to join Theta: be yourself! What makes you unique is what makes you belong :)

I joined Theta to meet inspiring, passionate, and caring women, which is exactly what I found — I love spending time with my sisters, whether that's hanging out in the house debriefing our days, going on adventures with my Theta fam, or planning events with exec!
