Being a part of any organization undoubtedly comes with the pitfalls of being grouped into negative stereotypes, and sororities are certainly no exception. Here are the top few things, that I find at least, are some of the most irritating misconceptions that find their way into numerous conversations...

8. "The whole philanthropy thing isn't real, right?"

Well all those fundraisers and marketing should would be a waste then wouldn't they?

7. "I don't need to buy my friends."

I'm not quite sure where the "buy your friends" stigma originated, considering that every single club on a college campus also has dues to be paid...

6. "Oh, so I'll bet you love to drink."

The plus side of having a large chapter is that there truly is every type of person, some who drink, and others who don't...

5. "Can you tell me some of your secrets?"

Not really how this works, sorry...

4. "What do you do at your meetings?"

You can join one and find out for yourself?

3. "Do you guys haze really badly?"


There are laws against that actually, check it.

2. "Is it just like in the movies?"

Is ANYTHING just like how it is in Hollywood?

1. "Sororities are so basic."

Sororities actually have their origin amongst the first women to attend universities who came together for comradeship in what was at the time at man's world...but I mean...to each his own opinion I suppose?

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing! If I'm not singing, I'm probably humming, sometimes without even realizing it. So as someone who loves to sing, these are some of the feelings and thoughts I have probably almost every day.
