10 Reasons Living In A Sorority House Is The Best Experience

personal photo

I've heard from many people either considering Greek life or just curious about it ask me what living in my sorority house is like more times than I can count. The truth is if you have the option to live in your sorority's house, do it, you will not regret your decision. Here are 10 reasons why you should live in your sorority house if you can!

1. The House Is Your Closet

Giphy

l literally borrow belts and sweaters from my sisters all the time! They're always a text away if you need anything to complete an outfit!

2. SNACKS EVERYWHERE!!!

Giphy

I'll get texts in my group chat saying that someone brought home a pizza for us or something all the time! Literally, you share everything with your sisters and sometimes the comes with food-related perks.

3. Bonding Sessions

Giphy

We all like to watch movies and make crafts together as a way of bonding. It's super fun and it's some of my fondest memories!

4. The Cute Little Notes You'll Get

Giphy

I love when I come back to my room in the house to little notes my sisters went out of their way to write me and stick them on my desk. It makes me feel loved and I keep every single note that is delivered to me!

5. The Late Night Study Sessions

Giphy

I don't normally stay up to do work but when I do, it's always near some of my sisters so I have company to entertain me!

6. The Constant Celebrations

Giphy

Whenever something amazing happens to any of us, we always celebrate it in some way because we like to build each other up all the time!!

7. Always Having Smiling Faces To Come Home To

Giphy

It's so nice coming home to people who genuinely want to know about your day and who are always happy to see you!

8. Always Having A Shoulder To Cry On

Giphy

If anyone is ever down, there are dozens of girls a room away ready to make you smile again!

9. The Constant Dance Parties

Giphy

I love it when my sisters come into my room while I'm playing music and they dance with me!

10. A Home Away From Home

Giphy

Having somewhere to call home in college is one of the warmest feelings in the world. You'll never feel isolated or alone because you'll have a whole house that will help you remember what being home really feels like.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods.
