SORORITY v. CHAPTER

**Blog post from July 21, 2018**

I pledged my sorority in 2012 and I'm so in love with AOII it's crazy! The sucky part is, my experience was cut short by poor life choices. I had so many goals I wanted to achieve that went up in smoke. For a long time, I blamed girls in the chapter because I didn't get along with a handful of them. When I stepped away from the chapter I was heartbroken! I knew it would be tough but I had hoped I would at least have the support of the girls I'd been friends with... but I didn't. I had some friends still for a while but they had lived and moved on. I'm not going to lie, I was super discouraged for a long time and had basically given up on getting involved again. That's when things changed... 

Welcome to Preppie Bliss

So you've managed to find yourself at my magical site… congratulations! I guess the best place to start would be at the beginning.

Preppie Bliss is the love child I have with myself. That sounds weird, I know, but it's really not. I founded Preppie Bliss in 2015 under a different title (we won't relive that disaster) when I was in a really hard place, rock bottom if you will. I had been looking for life inspiration (aka envying the bloggers I followed) and decided to take on the blogging challenge, after all my closet and adventures could be just as amazing right? I thought if I made my readers believe I was in fact fabulous I would actually become fabulous. That was my downfall. The original version of Preppie Bliss was a band-aid I was trying to put on the very real struggles of a very real college kid.
