If You Give A Girl A Sorority

She'll find her home away from home.

AGD bid night

The transition to college is never easy and finding your place seems impossible. Being in a sorority is more than what the movies portray. When you go greek you find your people, your home, and your happiness. There is a lot of negative thoughts when people hear the word sorority, but most of the bad stereotypes just aren't true. Rushing was the best decision of my life because I've finally found my home away from home. If you give a girl a sorority, this is what she'll do...

She'll find a new home.

The moment you walk into your new home for the next 3 years, you instantly feel at home. It's exciting and new and you can't wait to live in.

She'll meet her new best friends.

Instant friendships are made the moment bid day happens. You find your family and are already obsessed with everyone.

She'll be protected.

Sisters stick up for each other just like real siblings do. Your new chapter is a place to go when you need help or even just need someone to talk to.

She'll be loved.

With new sisters comes endless loves, cuddles, and hugs. Granted there may be a fight here and there, you will always feel loved and accepted.

She'll get involved.

With sororities come philanthropies! Every weekend you'll be doing something to benefit your community and also your chapter. You'll also be doing philanthropies literally every day (and winning them). You meet so many people when you're involved with greek life.

She'll never want to leave.

After four years of endless love, laughs, and friends, leaving will be tough. The next steps of your life are yet to come but it'll be hard to leave your closest friends.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
