When I first joined a sorority I quickly came to the conclusion it is not like the movies at all. The recruitment videos only scratch the surface of what it is really like on the inside. No, we don't all walk around in slow motion blowing bubbles into the camera with "Take Me Home" playing on repeat in the background in real life. A sorority is actually made up of so many different unique personalities. Here are the 6 types of sorority girls I have encountered.
1. COOKIE CUTTER
These are the girls who are always smiling and have to mention what sorority they are in at all times. They hardly ever break out of their group in the sisterhood. Cookie cutter girls are the faces in the front of every recruitment video you will ever watch.
2. CONNECTION CATHY
Then you have the girls who join just to have it on paper. When they get a job on Wall Street one day it is only because their boss was in the same sisterhood 30 years ago. They have no real interest in what the sorority really stands for, but they will suffer through all the rituals and chants as long as they can meet some high-end people in the long run.
3. LETTER LOVERS
These are the ladies who seem to think being in a sorority makes them better than any GDI on campus. You will see them walk around in big letters every chance they can. Almost as if they were flaunting their sisterhood in front of your face. They feel that being a part of an organization can make them cooler and hotter instantly.
4. PHILANTHROPIST
Ladies who actually care about the philanthropy events and do not see them as an excuse to just throw a party with Sigma Apple Pie. They will easily get offended if you do not offer to help out with setting up or going to a nursing home visit for philanthropy points, however, they are some of the sweetest girls you will ever meet.
5. THE EXECS...(OR SO THEY THINK)
Whenever you seem to find yourself in a pickle with your sorority and you are waiting for the official execs to handle it in your standards meeting there is another kind of exec you deal with first. These are the girls who seem to get power hungry just because they are friends with the activities chairman. They think that they can tell you what to do and what consequences you should face before the actual standards meeting.
6. YOUR TRUE FRIENDS
These girls are the reason you joined a sorority in the first place. They hold your hair when you puke, give you their shoulder to cry on, listen to all your secrets, laugh at all your jokes and they love you with all of their heart. These are the girls that make all of the drama worth it in the end.
