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?

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
