We're always told to throw what we know!

9 Things That Happen When You Join a Sorority
Kaleigh Shupp

From bid day to big/little week to initiation, pledging a sorority is all sorts of fun, but there are definitely things that happen to everyone when they join whatever sorority they choose.

1. You gain a lot of new Insta followers.

Hello #instafamous!

2. Your calendar is suddenly full.

Whether it’s because of chapter or different events, your calendar is basically never empty

3. You get a lot of stuff during Big/Little Week

Okay, I’m not gonna lie, more than half the stuff I got during big/little week is under my bed waiting to be used next year but it was still fun getting to clean up confetti everyday for a week! (thanks big!!!)

4. People in your sorority start to say hi to you when you go to classes.

It’s kinda awful for me because I have walking bitch face, so if you say hi to me and I just kinda look over it’s not because I don’t like you it’s just my face.

5. Your closet is filled with your sorority’s ~trendy~ clothes.

Honestly, some of it I’ll never wear again but I keep it there, just in case

6. You’re always ‘throwing what you know’ in Instas with your sistas.

I’m totally guilty of this.

7. You learn all the ~secrets~ that come with membership.

To anyone else, it might seem a little scary, but to your sisters, it’s totally normal.

8. You learn all about your fam tree, but you don’t understand it, like at all.

“Okay, so if we’re cousins does that mean our ggbig had twins?”

9. You find your buddies for life.

(I hope my new friends realize that they’re stuck with me!!!)

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
