PSA: Total Sorority Move Is NOT What It's Really Like

Think about PNMS, your parents, and people who simply don't know what Greek life is about before you share that article

PSA: Total Sorority Move Is NOT What It's Really Like
  • "A Fool Proof Guide to Always Getting Off"
  • "An Ode to Dry Week, The Worst Part of Recruitment"
  • "A Woman Wore a Fitbit to See if Sex Actually Burns Calories"
  • "A Girl Made a Revenge Cooler For Her Cheating Boyfriend and It's Perfect"

These titles are just some of the most recent articles on TSM's website and Facebook page. Aside from the ridiculous names of these articles...their content is just as absurd. I'm sorry but I am not interested in reading about anyone's sex life, but especially not cheap, meaningless hookups that one slutty sorority girl decided to write about.

Don't get me wrong, all of the things they post are not bad. There are posts about sorority of the week, philanthropy events, and even some inspiration stories of things some sorority women have accomplished. However, as sorority women do we really want to portray ourselves on social media in such a negative way? I'm all for people doing whatever they want to, but do you really need to talk about it all over a page that gets millions of views everyday from more than just people who are already involved with a particular sorority. Not only does this just fulfill the negative stereotypes of "sorority girls" and Greek life as a whole, but it also is shouting from the rooftops to our parents, PNMS, and people who know nothing about Greek life that sex, drugs, money, and alcohol is mostly all we care about. But we all know that simply isn't true.

I find it insulting as a sorority women that we are accepting this as okay and supporting a page that makes us look so unintelligent and dirty. So think next time before you "like" the TSM or TFM page. Although the occasional post might be funny or inspirational, the majority of it highlights all the negative stereotypes of Greek life, why would we want the world to think that those things are the all there is to it?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
