18 Reasons You Should Not Go Greek
Arkansas State University

1) You are not interested in making 100+ of the best friends you'll ever have.

2) You'd never want to get involved in something like serving the community and giving back.

3) You have no need for a thousand cute t-shirts that will guarantee you never have nothing to wear.

4) You would NEVER want access to a test bank to help you get through your major!!

5) Always having sisters/bros to go out with sounds like a terrible idea.

6) You don't want an extended family that ranges across the nation and even across the world.

7) Making connections later in life for your career isn't important to you.

8) You don't think you need opportunities for leadership.

9) No way you would want to be EXTREMELY involved on campus!

10) Socials sound like no fun at all.

11) You don't want endless support in whatever you do in life.

12) You don't want an incredible house to call your home away from home.

13) You love being bored.

14) You hate the thought of going all-out for campus events like homecoming week.

15) Intramural does not sound awesome, and you would never want to be guaranteed a team to play with.

16) You don't want people around that share the same interests and values as you.

17) You love the feeling of regret.

18) You want to miss out the greatest opportunity of your college career.

Okay, if it's not already clear to you after reading this entire list, YOU SHOULD GO GREEK! Whether you're a freshman, transfer student, or at any other point in college, just do it. From personal experience, it has been the most rewarding, wonderful aspect of my life out of high school, and I can't imagine going through college without my sisters. The opportunities are endless, the people are phenomenal, and the experiences are unparalleled. If you're feeling unsure about the whole idea, let this be your encouragement. You don't have to take my word for it; just look around at the thousands of people in Greek life and see how much better their college experience has been because of their decision. Good luck, and GO GREEK!

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun.
