As you go through life, there are some things that only your sorority sisters will understand. Why there's glitter in every crevice of your room. Or why when someone starts a chant, you literally have to stop what you're doing to engage in the ritual. These are some things that only my Alpha Chi sisters can truly relate to:

1. "Oh, you guys are the Christmas colored sorority?"

It's scarlet red and olive green, thank you. You are so tired of hearing this from your friends and family when they want to know what sorority you're in. Our colors are beautiful, and just like everything in our sorority, they are symbolic. But I guess if we're going to be the "Christmas colored sorority," doesn't that mean that Alpha Chi is where it's Christmas all year round? I guess that's actually kind of great, right

2. "What's a Lyre?"

The first musical instrument played on Mt. Olympus by the gods. Boom! You have that answer down. Although your friends and family don't understand your new obsession with the lyre, your sisters are on the hunt for all things lyre with you as well. Whether its bookends, necklaces or chairs... you've got it. You love the lyre and all that it represents in alpha chi.

3. "Friends" is our show

Fun fact: one of the writers on "Friends" was actually an Alpha Chi Omega. And what better way for an alumna to pay homage to her sorority than leaving a bunch of easter eggs? If you'll notice in Monica's apartment, there are a few hidden lyres. Coincidence, you say? I think not. If that's not enough proof for you, remember Joey's manager, Estelle Leonard? Wow, doesn't that name sounds really familiar? Maybe because it's also the name of one of our lovely founders? So now the best sitcom ever just got a million times better; you're welcome television.

4. And if "Friends" isn't your show, don't worry. AXO's are all over TV

I get it, not everyone likes "Friends" (I don't know why, but it's possible). So if that's the case, then it's good to know that Alpha Chi's are all over TV. You know Alyson Hannigan, that adorable red head from "How I Met Your Mother" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer?" Yep, she's an Alpha Chi. Or maybe you're really into old sitcoms? Remember that old show from the 60s, "Gilligan's Island?" Well, Mary Ann is Alpha Chi. Or maybe you just really enjoy reality TV, and are currently dedicating every Monday night to watching "The Bachelorette?" Well, remember the very first Bachelorette, Trista Sutter? You'll never believe it, but she's an Alpha Chi too! These are just a few of our alums that we are so very proud of, and make us love their shows so much more.

5. We have the best badge

All Alpha Chi's love our badge and take pride and joy in wearing it. But if that doesn't prove how beautiful our badge is, then maybe the fact that it's in the Smithsonian does. Why does our lovely badge get to be there, you might ask? Because it was voted the "Most Beautiful Greek Pin" by the international jeweler's association. So basically our badge is as gorgeous as the girls that wear it.

6. We are real, strong women

Sometimes I swear that A-Chi-O's are the ones that invented the phrase: "You are a strong, independent woman." Your sisters are some of the sweetest, nicest people you will ever meet. But at the same time, they are strong in their values and will stand up for what they believe in. You love and admire all alpha chi's, for their kindness, strengths and what they believe in.

7. Our founders are da bomb

And finally, the ladies that started it all. Our founders are what we all aspire to be, because they are pure leaders. You don't even have to think twice about listing off these seven amazing ladies.
