5 Reasons You Should NEVER Consider Joining A Sorority

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

Christmas tree
Librarian Lavender

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.
