Being in a sorority is fun, but having a best friend in a sorority is even MORE fun…except when it’s not. For better or worse, this is now a big part of her life and, therefore, a big part of your life, too. Here’s some things you’ve definitely been through if your bestie went Greek:
1. You’ll definitely be at Bid Day this year.
And every year for that matter. I really have no reason to be here other than to take pictures of squealing girls and for moral support….but I’ll be there!2. You have the definitive ranking of which house has the best Fried Friday.
Yes, ADPI has excellent lemonade and mini corndogs, but ZTA has a much roomier dining room and, therefore, provides a more enjoyable dining experience.3. You’ve also definitely had your fair share of free food, even on non-guest days!
You mean to tell me you have hundreds of girls paying thousands of dollars every year, but I can’t have a few chicken nuggets? Yea no give me the plate this is my time.
4. You walk into that house like your daddy owns it.
You can’t prove I’m not in this sorority! Go ahead test me, I know every juice in the drink machine and where the extra Goldfish are kept. Fight me.
5. In fact, you’re in there so much that you’ve definitely been mistaken for a member.
I may or may not have promised the president of AOPI that I would vote for Homecoming Queen and email her my confirmation by the end of the day after being yelled at for not doing so already. It’s fine, common mistake.
6. You’ve accepted the fact that you’ll be alone on Thursday nights.
#SwapSZN? more like #LonelySZN.
7. And the fact that no matter how hard you try, you will never know as many people as they do.
Maybe if I had a dime for every time I heard the words “Oh, she’s in my sorority!” I could afford to be in one.
8. You’re in on ALL the Greek drama!
You’re not a part of it, but you’re in on it…and in case you were wondering, YES Jessica did go to the Pike Formal with Sarah’s ex-boyfriend, there’s an emergency chapter meeting at 6.
9. You’ve had your closet raided for a bizarre swap theme once or twice.
Sure, you can borrow my roller-skates, leather skirt, and cat ears…I really don’t even want to know.
10. You’re an expert at slipping in after someone swipes their card.
“Call me when you’re here so I can come let you in.” Yeah, don’t worry about it, I’m already in.
11. You have an embarrassing amount of clothes with the name of a house that you’re not a part of.
“You’re not supposed to wear the game day buttons and t-shirts if you’re not a member!” Yea watch me, Becky, just watch me. I’m taking a cookie, too.
12. You sometimes feel like y’all are losing touch because she has all these new friends.
They just always eat together, and they wore matching ski masks to the Ski Lodge Swap and it's just so unfair. I look cute in a ski mask too!
13. But that doesn’t last too long because you’ll always be more important than they are!
As soon as the date party ends, the Study Hours Chairman is driving her nuts, or everyone goes home... she’ll be right back where she belongs, which is drinking coffee on your couch. Nothing breaks a bond like yours!
