An Explanation to My Not-So-Greek Best Friend

"Hey. Wait. Okay, sorry! I just had to look at this GroupMe notification."

I know what you're thinking: "I'm so srat you just can't even." You have probably also questioned if I'm wearing pants or not. The answer is yes. I know this new life I've thrown myself into is some sort of outer space nonsense to you, but it has become a big part of my life.

I know the glitter and crafts can be a little much. I know that my usual Pinterest pinning habits, which included places to travel, good food, and music, have been replaced by big/little ideas, social outfit ideas, and cooler Ideas. I also know you have contemplated unfollowing me (which I'm glad you haven't). Every social media account bio has my letters proudly displayed and I post 1,826,515,819 Instagram pictures a week. I notice the confused look on your face when you hand me my phone telling me I have a text from "Biggie." I get that you don't understand the phenomenon behind the sorority girl squat and that throwing what I know at every chance I get can be too much.

This world is crazy and different, but I love every part of it! So if you could look past the neon Nike shorts and XL t-shirts, I want you to know that though I have 200 sorority sisters, you are still just as much of my sister because you know way too much about me, and I wouldn't ever want to change that. The truth is we don't have to match in letters to show it.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
