9 Questions Sorority Girls Are Tired of Hearing
Read Unwritten

There are plenty of questions sorority girls are tired of being asked and here are a few of them.

1. So, you pay for your friends now...?

No, but if I did I should be paying a hell of a lot more. My dues go to the chapter. They fund events and fuel the chapter to support the organization at a national level.

2. You’re in a sorority, you don’t look like a sorority girl?

Thanks? One of the things I love most about being in a sorority that I can be involved in many other different parts of campus and not be titled as a stereotypical "Sorority Girl."

3. Do you love ALL your sisters?

No. Surprising I know!! But just like you’re family, we don’t have to love each other all the time but we have to respect one another.

4. What was the hazing like?

I wouldn’t know. No seriously, Greek life is starting to make stricter guidelines on hazing. My sorority has strict no hazing rules and instead educated and taught us values and traditions through bonding, strengthened our chapter.

4. Do you go out every night of the week?

God no. We have sisters taking the MCAT's and LSAT's. Sisters working full time as well as being full time students. We have sisters on the Dean’s list. And even a sister in the army. Most weekends you can find sisters studying in the library later than any party goer.

5. Why are you so obsessed with your little?

Your little is perfect. She just is. It’s not something required by the sorority. But after taking someone under your wing and caring for them as a big sister they become your world and the obsession takes over. It sounds creepy but it’s not as psycho as we sometimes make it out to be.

6. Why do you have to have a certain GPA?

Standards are put in place to make sure that potential new members and current sisters uphold a minimum GPA. Sororities are not all about partying... WOW!?

7. What’s your “Philanthropy?"

People always ask what my “Philanthropy” is, like it’s some made up unicorn we hide behind to look like good human beings. In reality it is the basis of what sororities are founded on. We have mandatory community service events as well as 10+ hours of community service to complete on our own. Sororities teach sisters how to give back and how to have a little fun doing it as well.

9. Do you only date frat guys

Some do just because we party a lot with frat guys. But usually most of us date guys who are not affiliated with Greek life. Some of us don’t even date guys.

So there you have it. Get used to these questions newly initiated sisters and even current sisters. People never get tired of asking these questions. Hopefully one day we can ride the stereotype that sorority girls are just a bunch of drunken party girls.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
