The 11 Different Types Of Sorority Girls

It's #basic, really.

The 11 Different Types Of Sorority Girls
Vanity Fair

Each sorority has their own songs and rituals. Each sorority has a bunch of weird things that no one really understands. They do some chants and throw some hand signs, and they all say that they are so different than all the other sororities. Unfortunately for every sorority girl everywhere, in the end there are only 11 types of sorority girls. You either fit in one of them or you're probably not a *really* srat. It's scientific, really. Well at least probably.

Each sorority can be broken down into these girls:

1. The overachievers

The girls that are way too into the sorority life. They are at every event, never miss chapter, buy more sorority t-shirts than shoes, are "srat AF" down to their socks (side note –– I'm so guilty. I have the socks). You probably can't go anywhere without them throwing what they know "for the 'gram." Actually, they probably throw what they know even when there isn't a camera present, which is possibly worse.

2. The underachievers

The thing about these girls is that they were once the overachievers. Then they became seniors and decided showing up to stuff is optional. Which is technically false, except they've come to terms with the fact that standards is a way of life, and that it's a risk they are willing to take. Often when their name is brought up, half of the newest pledge class has no idea who is being discussed.

3. The dark horse

This girl is the close cousin of the underachievers. Unfortunately, she's more of a legend than a reality because no one ever sees her. They don't call her name during chapter roll because it's an unspoken rule that she won't show up, and she will just pay the fine when standards sends it to her inbox because she can't be bothered to come to campus for a meeting. The entire new pledge class has never seen her and legitimately thinks its some kind of joke.

4. The partiers

She goes out every weekend and most weekdays that she doesn't have an 8 a.m. the next morning. She somehow drinks every night and still her alcohol tolerance is lower than the average 14 year old. I think they call it "white girl wasted."

5. The Lilly Pulitzer's

Honestly, I don't think this takes much explanation. There's a fine line between a good amount of brand name designer fabrics and looking like a walking jungle of color. They are flirting with it.

6. The personal stylists

The talk of the town. Seriously, they are the talk of the tiny little town (cult) known as their sorority. They always look 10/10, and they probably know it. She's the girl you channel when you cannot figure out what to be wearing. Then you realize that you just can't pull off the harlem pants and high tops like she can and crawl into bed in defeat.

7. The best friend

It's crazy how many people think this girl is their "literal best friend" and that they really had "an immediate connection" and that they are "probably going to be in each others weddings." As of now, she has approximately 27 bridesmaids, which means that at least half of them are really off point. Sorry, girls.

8. The intramural champ

Everyone love-hates this girl because she literally rocks at everything and makes your sorority look bomb, but at the same time she is way too cool to be showing off like that. She makes everyone else look bad. Ugh. You want to be her but you can't be. So you just suck it up and love her for helping your team win every sporting event ever.

9. The hoarder

All. of. the. things. Need a T-shirt from that philanthropy event with the cool design from seven years ago? She somehow has it. Wondering what kind of bracelet with your symbol on it you should invest in? She has 10 and can give you a list of brands in order of price, personal preference or color. Love it. Hate it. Deal with it. She'll come in handy one day.

10. The balancers

She doesn't quite march to the beat as all of her sisters, but she makes it work, and everyone loves her for doing her own thing. They are the only sisters anyone wants to be with when the srat life is just too much to handle.

11. The queens

Somehow everything rotates around them. They probably come from money, and they probably doesn't realize that they are this girl. The tell-tale symptoms of queenship are a lack of clothes that cost less than the average college textbook, a blue ribbon smile and the ability to tell you off without you ever realizing that's what happening –– all wrapped up with a pair of five inch stilettos. Bless her heart.


There is so many things to love about your sorority. The years of history, the prestige, and most importantly the sisters that you actually are with. You wouldn't trade any of these girls for anything. In the end, you're all different, but together, you're unstoppable. Sorority pride for life.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
