7 Things Not To Say To Someone In Greek Life

No, I actually don't pay for my friends.

Greek Life
Clare Concannon

With being a member of Greek life, you are going to come across people who HATE Greek life and who always want to say something negative towards it. If you're not a part of Greek life, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. But maybe try and keep some of the not-so-nice comments to yourself.

1. "You pay for your friends."

If I “pay for my friends”, I sure as hell don’t pay enough. There is no price you can put on the friendships and bonds you form through Greek life.

2. "All you do is party."

Do you think I have time to just party when my schedule is jammed packed with extracurriculars, classes, and work? Think again.

3. "You guys all look the same."

Actually we don’t. We pride ourselves on being diverse, caring more about character rather than physical appearances.

4. "You don't actually care about your Philanthropy."

This one honestly might make me the most annoyed. Philanthropy is actually one of the main reasons some of us wanted to join, to begin with, and our events we host raise a ton of money to give back to those causes.

5. "Bigs and littles are stupid/annoying."

I'm sorry close friendships and happiness irritate you? Maybe focus on yourself some more.

6. "I would never want to be a part of that."

Once again, totally fine if you have no interest in joining Greek life whatsoever. But it's always kind of rude when you have someone reiterating over and over how much they would never ever associate with anything Greek life.

7. "You're wasting your money."

Just like how it's none of my business how you spend your money, it's not any of yours how I am spending mine.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
