11 Hidden Talents of All Greek Women

Society spends a lot of time making fun of sorority girls. They tell us we can’t walk and chew gum at the same time. That’s not true, though, and we deserve some recognition for what we can do. Sororities are filled with plenty of talented women: academically, athletically, musically, artistically, etc. Here are some small talents that all Greek women share, though.

1. We can dance.

No matter if you were a high school cheerleader or proud couch potato, you will find your moves when Greek Sing beckons you.

2. We can find money anywhere.

With dues, fees and the cost of cute Etsy products with our letters on them, our wallets take several hits throughout the year. We always find a way to make it work, though. Whether it’s from help from Mom and Dad, a few extra hours at work, or some loose change from under the couch cushions, we will get the money. We will find it.

3. We can put our letters into anything.

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen every chapter’s letters fit into the phrase “Darling it’s better wearing our letters, take it from me”. Clever quotes, movie references, products, you name it. We will do it. We wear and share our letters proudly.

4. We've mastered photography.

We care about how we present ourselves on social media. We also care about likes. So, we’ve basically perfected the art of the perfect selfie and cute picture taking. We know lighting. We know filters. We know angles. We got this.

5. We clean up nicely.

Rags to riches? Please, more like sweatpants to bodycon. By day, we’re leggings-wearing, messy bun-rocking girls, but by night, our infallibly perfect curls and seamless contouring makes us enviable. Never doubt the power of a woman (or Sephora).

6. We know everything about everyone.

I don’t know how we do it. With chapters upwards of a hundred members, it may seem hard to learn everyone’s name and story, but we do it. We’re sisters, after all.

7. We put Michelangelo to shame.

Thank God for Pinterest. One skill that sororities pull out of you is crafting, crafting, crafting! Even if you don’t feel artistic when you rush, your inner artist emerges real fast.

8. We don't lose our voice.

Between cheering on sisters at events and talking non-stop through recruitment, it’s amazing how we even have the ability to speak anymore. First year in the sorority: losing your voice every week; every other year: magical ability to keep on talking through anything.

9. We find strength.

This has many meanings. Physically, during Greek Olympics or other Greek sports events, we channel muscle strength that we didn’t even know we had. Sisters constantly surprise each other with their mental and emotional strength, too.

10. We can smile even after wearing heels for hours.

I’m pretty proud of this one. Our feet can be bleeding, blistering, aching, but we can smile through it. Will we complain about it later? Most definitely. But, we will look happy while we are standing there.

11. We love unconditionally.

No matter what, Greek women have the ability to love each other no matter what. So a sister made a remark about you behind your back? You’ll still be there for you when she calls you crying about her boyfriend later. Because sisters are there for each other. Sisters forgive each other. Sisters love each other. No matter what.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
