28 Questions To Ask Yourself Before Trashing Sororities
Delta Phi Epsilon

Time and time again sorority women have their morals and ideals questioned because they are part of a Greek organization. There are no concrete reasons as to why this happens but it does and it is very insulting to each and every one of us. So, the next time you decide to trash a woman because she loves her sorority, I suggest you ask yourself these questions first.

1. Do you even know what a sorority is?

2. Do you want to empower other women?

3. Do you value friendship?

4. Or love?

5. Or family?

6. Can you define “philanthropy”?

7. Actually, when was the last time you did community service?

8. Have you ever wished you had someone to talk to?

9. Can you imagine organizing events for 50 plus women and their guests?

10. Do you know the history behind Greek life?

11. Did you know Carrie Underwood was a sorority woman (Sigma Sigma Sigma)?

12. Or Condoleezza Rice (Alpha Chi Omega)?

13. What about Kate Spade (Kappa Kappa Gamma)?

14. What do you gain from trashing a woman who dedicates her time to improving society?

15. Could you help run an entire organization on your college campus?

16. Would you want an opportunity to earn scholarships?

17. Is your opinion based off a movie?

18. Or outrageous hazing stories (from chapters that have most likely been suspended)?

19. Are you being kind?

20. Do the people you know in a sorority reflect your negative views?

21. Could you devote countless hours to bettering yourself and the community while going to school?

22. Were you scared when you first went to college and nervous you would never find your place?

23. Do you want a connection to thousands of women across the country?

24. Would you benefit from learning leadership skills?

25. Or communication skills?

26. Or social skills in every form there is?

27. Have you ever done any research on sororities and what they actually do?

LASTLY,

28. What did we ever do to you?

Hopefully, these questions will help you realize that we sorority women are not who you think we are. We are devoted to our sisterhood and to empowering other women to become the best they can be. We do everything we can to raise money for our philanthropies and to give a home to women who might have never felt like they belonged. And after all of that what's the harm if we want to take a few cute pictures?

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
