You have made one of the biggest decisions of your life to go to college. Congratulations! However, that’s not the only decision that you’ll have to make when it comes to college life. Another important decision that you’ll probably make is the decision to go Greek in college.

Daniella Uvaldo is leading a sorority at Columbia while being a first-generation college student in the engineering school.

Every chapter has one. The social chair. Sometimes they're the reason your semester feels alive, and sometimes they're the reason it feels like you're just... going through motions. I didn't really think about this role before I joined Greek life - I honestly didn't know it existed. But about three months into my sophomore year, after I'd pledged and was starting to figure out how things actually worked, it became pretty obvious that this one position quietly shapes the experience more than almost anything else.
