What It's Like To Be A Guy's Girl In A Sorority

femaletalk.com

If you’re like me, you may refer to yourself as a guy’s girl (GG). Contrary to popular belief, this isn’t the same as a tomboy, and definitely doesn’t mean you sleep around either. I like to hang with dudes, bottom line.

I like sports, movies with car crashes, and the occasional burp fest. Hey, better out than in, right? But just because I like hanging with the guys every once in a while doesn’t mean I hate hanging with girls either. Sure, I tend to stray from drama queens and attention hogs, but having a small, close group of girlfriends is important for any girl’s mental sanity.

What’s it like to have this kind of personality and be surrounded by girls 24/7? Honestly, sometimes it can be difficult. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE my sisters, and I would do anything for them, but we don’t always want to talk about the same things, watch the same things on TV, or do the same activities. Going away to a university where I knew virtually no one was difficult, but I knew I was rushing and that soon I would have 200 new friends to hang out with all the time. The difficulty with that was that all these friends would be girls, and based on a majority of sorority stereotypes, I wasn’t sure if I would fit in.

What I didn’t realize was that I wouldn’t be alone. A GG isn’t exactly a unicorn, and I soon found that plenty of my sisters were into the same things as I was. This was a huge relief for me because, as a GG, the second best thing to hanging with the guys is hanging with other GGs.

So even though I don’t necessarily see eye to eye with every girl in Greek life, I know that I’m surrounded by plenty of girls that get what I’m about. I’ve even been able to open up more and enjoy “girlier” things like shopping and the occasional chick flick (I still burp as loud as I can all the time, though. Sorry, Mom).

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one.

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
