BE SOMEONE, BE YOU I’m still not sure what makes you someone at the University of Oklahoma. What I do know is who I am and what I do. I am an editor at The Oklahoma Daily, a leader of many OU organizations and the recipient of several OU scholarships and awards. If that doesn’t make me someone here, then I don’t think someone is what I want to be. I write this now not to say sorority life is wrong for every woman. I also have nothing to say about fraternity life; how could I? And my final disclaimer: I do not pretend to know the inner-workings of sororities other than Alpha Phi. But I imagine them to be similar. So I write this because I had no choice; it was writing itself in my head, begging to be put on paper. If I can assure one Laney out there of her decision not to rush, I will be satisfied. I believe we must, in all our decisions, be true to our instincts in order to become the best versions of ourselves. So to every woman reading this: be strong and confident in your beliefs and interests, whatever they may be. You will be happy. Best of all, you will be you. Laney Ellisor is a professional writing junior and The Daily’s assistant managing editor. Ellisor was a member of the Alpha Phi sorority from February 2010 to May.
