This can be in the form of mentorship, job connections, and shadowing .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before I joined a sorority, I had the misconception that this network would only be helpful for those interested in business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the end of my first week in my sorority, I realized that the majority of my member class were actually science majors who had similar goals to mine. <strong>And that was true of our alumni also.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Honestly, this is something I wish I took advantage of more as pre-med. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now as a medical student. I have been using my sorority network much more. It has been extremely valuable to learn about different medical specialties while not being able to shadow due to covid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#099343\"><strong>Personal Development and a Balanced Life<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I am so thankful that I joined a sorority because it helped <strong>bring me back to myself<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is so easy to want to study constantly as a pre-med. The pressure of applying to med school can be paralyzing. It often made me feel like I couldn&#8217;t have a work life balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What I appreciated about  being in Greek Life is that <strong>it gave me a reason to momentarily step away from the library and enjoy life.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It gave me an avenue to channel my love of athletics into intramurals, encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and participate in our schools annual production, and surround myself with a strong support group during hard times.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My experience in a sorority encouraged me to take time for self care. <strong>Ultimately, I think it helped me perform better academically.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/gillianmathews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_3398-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"912\" data-link=\"https:\/\/gillianmathews.com\/pugmed\/?attachment_id=912\" class=\"wp-image-912\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gillianmathews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_3398-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gillianmathews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_3398-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gillianmathews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_3398-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gillianmathews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_3398-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gillianmathews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_3398-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gillianmathews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_3398.jpg 1655w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"530\" height=\"746\" src=\"https:\/\/gillianmathews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-27-at-11.48.55-AM.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"915\" data-link=\"https:\/\/gillianmathews.com\/pugmed\/?attachment_id=915\" class=\"wp-image-915\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gillianmathews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-27-at-11.48.55-AM.png 530w, https:\/\/gillianmathews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-27-at-11.48.55-AM-213x300.png 213w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 530px) 100vw, 530px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/gillianmathews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5041-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"914\" data-link=\"https:\/\/gillianmathews.com\/pugmed\/?attachment_id=914\" class=\"wp-image-914\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gillianmathews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5041-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gillianmathews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5041-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/gillianmathews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5041-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/gillianmathews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5041-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/gillianmathews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5041-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\">Some of my sisters who got me through my Pre-Med Years, some of which are also in med school also!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-pink-color has-text-color\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gillianmathews.com\/pugmed\/pre-med-anxiety-youre-not-alone\/\">Check out my article on self care as pre-med here!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#099343\"><strong>Gap Year Prospects<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I personally chose to take a Gap Year.
