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 want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
