All those perks? Who would want that?

5 Reasons You Should NEVER Consider Joining A Sorority
Lindsay Ann Gill

As a second semester freshman, I have had the opportunity to do a multitude of things. College life offers so many opportunities to get involved. One of these opportunities is the many Greek Life organizations on most campuses. Unfortunately, all fraternities and sororities act exactly the way all movies and TV shows portray them.

Which is why you OBVIOUSLY shouldn't join one, right? If that doesn't just turn you off completely, here are a few more reasons to stick your nose up at the girls you're claiming stick their noses up at you.


1. You may actually find a talent you never knew you had.

I know, I know, you were the star of your elementary art class, but why would you ever want to actually have a hobby? Crafting takes time and effort, but I thought sorority girls didn't put time and effort into anything?


2. You'll learn how to be [too] goofy.

Sororities look so pristine in the light of recruitment, they must be stuck up. I bet they never have any fun making sure things always go right... Right?


3. Your big will mentor you too much.

"My big is so smart," "My little is so cute," "Our fam tree is the best," blah blah blah-- am I right? Big/Little pairs are so superficial and aren't based on personality, compatibility, etc. I read that online, so it must be true.


4. You'll spend too much time with your sisters.

Why would you want to spend all of your time with the people who care the most about you and want you to succeed? That seems silly to me; most people these days want to spend their time with toxic people who make time feel bad about themselves.

5. You'll find your home on campus, plus who wants to run on bid day?

Running home on bid day? Do sorority girls run, or would that make them sweat? Besides, who would want to go to the sorority house/suite/apartment all the time... don't people want to be alone without plans? Why would anyone want a second home, they already have one... seems selfish to me.

Honestly, if you could still consider being a part of Greek Life after this, you must really have a good head on your shoulders! #SpringRecruitment2018 #GoPinkandGreen #GreatWomenGoGreek

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
