If you’re a greek woman, you know how frustrating it is to deal with all of the ignorant assumptions, questions, stereotypes and categories that people place you in once you utter the word “sorority.”

If you're like me, then you may also consider yourself to be somewhat of a sarcastic person. There are some very common questions that people will ask you about what it's like to be in the sorority. While you are going to want to fire back some sarcastic answers, resist the temptation, ladies, and stay classy.

1. “You’re in a sorority? You don’t look like the sorority type.”
You Want To Say: No, I’m not in a sorority, even though I just told you I’m in a sorority. I’m also very sorry that I don’t meet your criteria in the looks department. 
You Should Say: Why yes, I am in a sorority. There is no certain look for what a woman in a chapter should look like. Being part of a Panhellenic chapter isn’t about looks, it's about being in an organization with women who have similar morals. 

2. “So what sorority are you in? Beta Beta Beta?”
You Want To Say: Yes. Because all sororities are just one Greek letter repeated multiple times. 
You Should Say: No, I am a member of (insert sorority name here).

3. "Do you throw parties?" 
You Want To Say: No. What do you think this is, a frat? 
You Should Say: No. Our house was built in the 1800’s and is very expensive. Drugs and alcohol are not allowed on the premises because if something was to happen to our home and drugs/alcohol were found on the property, we wouldn’t be insured. 

4. "I have a friend who is in the same fraternity as you, do you know her?
You Want To Say: No I don’t know her, because I’m not in a fraternity. I’m in a sorority. SORORITY. 
You Should Say: A fraternity is similar to a sorority, only it's for men. I am in a sorority, which is for women, but don’t worry about it, people confuse the two all the time. 

5."So do you really have pillow fights every night?"
You Want To Say: Yes. It’s not like we’re students at a university, or have finals, or friends, or anything. We just pillow fight all day and night. 
You Should Say: No, we don’t. Don’t believe everything you see on TV. 

6. "What is a sleeping porch?"
You Want To Say: It looks like an orphanage, but it’s like a silent slumber party with all of your BFFs. 
You Should Say: Sleeping porch is just a big room with a bunch of bunk beds. It is 24 hours quiet and dark. Not that exciting.
