Summer vacation is GREAT, but I have been missing my sorority a lot recently. I miss always having someone to talk to or hang out with. Reuniting with all of my sisters is one of the things I'm looking forward to the most in the fall. Here are some signs that you're missing your sorority too:
1. Eating dinner with less than 40 people just doesn't cut it.
2. You miss having a buddy for literally ANYTHING (including, but not limited to: going to the gym, getting brunch, or even just grocery shopping).
3. You have already started making canvases for your future little.
4. Watching the Bachelorette just isn't the same without them, but GroupMe commentating will have to suffice for the summer.
5. You still wear your sorority t shirts, but it's just not the same when you don't spot at least 10 other sisters wearing the same one.
6. 75% of your GroupMe is everyone saying how much they miss each other.
7. You miss seeing all of the pledge classes together for chapter.
8. Any time you happen to see one of your sisters it automatically brightens your day.
9. You are already excited for rush. (Even when you know that sleep depravation will ensue.)
10. You have already thought about what theme your next date function should be.
11. Looking at pictures from Bid Day and Big Sis Week gives you major feels.
12. You have thought about how you and some of your sisters will coordinate Halloween costumes.
13. You are already planning on weekend day trips for you and your sisters.
Carter's Grove, Humpback Rock, and IX Art Park are definitely on my list.
14. Your main use for Pinterest this summer has been finding sorority crafts.
15. When you look at the home football schedule, you think of tailgates and game day pictures with your sisters.
16. You speak to anyone who is wearing your sorority's letters.
17. Any time anyone asks you about your sorority, you can't stop talking about it.
18. You miss chilling at the house together (and all of the funny conversations that ensued.)
19. You can't wait for your philanthropy event!
You wouldn't want to be chalking, waking up at 5:00 AM to paint Beta Bridge, and spending the day raising money with anyone else but your sisters.
20. You can't wait until your sisters are a walk down the street rather than a road trip away.
I know that I miss my sorority so much. I don't miss it for the formals, the date functions, or the social events. I miss it for the sisters who have become some of my best friends, my support group, and the girls who inspire me to be a better person every day.
