You don't have to be a sorority girl to join a sorority

You don't have to be a tan blonde to join a sorority.

You can have a purple-hair-pixie-cut and your sister will have black hair to her hips.

You didn't have to be a cheerleader in high school to join a sorority.

You could have been on track team, on the debate team, or math club.

You don't have to sleep with all the frat boys to join a sorority.

You can join a sisterhood of girls that have your back regardless of if you sleep with boys, girls, or alone.

You don't have to be skinny and fit to join a sorority.

You can get a group of girls to love and support you through your best and worst health.

You don't have to jump up and down and be cheerful every day to join a sorority.

You can have bad days, good days, or days when you just want to be alone with a book.

Either way, you can have a group of girls to support whatever you do. Joining a sorority is not about status, parties, or single thing you see in movies. Sororities are organizations built off of strong values to help transition girls into women. They are about making lifelong friends, giving back to your community and beyond, and keeping true to yourself. Sororities can be a source of networking in the professional world. If a future employer sees you are part of an organization that values integrity and hard work, perhaps they will be more open to giving you an interview. While we do, in fact, like to jump up and down during recruitment, it is only because we could not be more excited to get to know and include more girls into such a powerful tradition. Many sororities are old. They were often created in secret by women who wanted to bond together to practice ways of life just as men did in fraternities but were at first forbidden. As women, we are lucky we have the civil liberties to meet and develop ourselves both professionally and as people. We are lucky we get carry on the traditions of something that was created with such pure intent.

I am pale, have brown hair, and like to hike. Yet I find myself happy to be in an organization with girls unique, but connected to me. Being introverted at times, It has really opened me up to get more involved and have purpose at my University. I attend more events, and completely expanded my social circle. I have been able to meet new people not only in my own organization, but many other sororities and fraternities as well.

Even if you do not consider yourself to be a "typical sorority girl" I urge you to give recruitment a shot. While surely nothing is for everyone, you may end up finding it is more than meets the eye.

Many Universities give out lots of information on when and where their recruitment takes place. Look into it! If you attend the University of Delaware, like me, feel free to message me with any questions on how everything works.

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.

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.
