If Fraternity Men Acted Like Sorority Women

Take a walk in our shoes, boys.

If Fraternity Men Acted Like Sorority Women

Have you ever stopped and thought about how different sororities and fraternities are besides the whole gender aspect? We are all apart of the Greek organization, bettering our communities and ourselves and being part of something bigger than anything we have ever known, but what happens when we are not saving the world is completely different.

So let's say in a parallel universe fraternity men acted like sorority women -- these are some of the trends the boys would pick up on.

Spirit jerseys.

The guys have apparel, but nothing this eccentric. Imagine seeing the guys walking around campus with their fraternity names bolded across their backs. Not even just spirit jerseys, but what if the guys had half the apparel sorority women have. I think we get a new shirt for every single event, philanthropy, or day of the week there is.

Recruitment.


Imagine if the fraternities did recruitment the way we did, wait; imagine if they even understood how recruitment worked. The cheers, the clapping, the door chants -- then having timed conversations with a stranger, sober, about what their major is, favorite color, blah, blah, blah while trying to figure out if this is who they want in their organization. What do guys even talk about?

Throwing what you know.

Could that even work with half of the letters they have in their names? Come on, guys, throw what ya' know! Backs turned to the camera and what might look like a gang sign above the head for a picture perfect Insta.

Wine.

Instead of the massive amounts of beer, it is wine. From pink moscato to a dry chardonnay that is all there is to drink while gossiping over what happened the previous weekend. Don't forget fuzzy slippers and one-sy pajamas for a comfy night in.

Crafting.

Something the sorority women are well known for -- from paddles to whatever they can find at the local Hob Lob, but when a guy crafts does he put in as much effort as a girl crafting for her future little does? Probably not. I will admit some guys do have some amazing creative crafting skills, but the majority of them do not want to take the effort into crafting. But I can't blame them -- my crafting skills are really awful.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
