7 Signs You're In Greek Life

It's more than an organization you join — it becomes a lifestyle.

7 Signs You're In Greek Life
Sorority Stylista

In the south, going Greek is just part of college life. Here are seven signs you're in Greek life!

1. You own more T-Shirts than any other piece of clothing.

Seriously. It's like you can never pass up an opportunity at snagging a new T-shirt. Comfort colors become your best friend and Nike shorts/leggings and T-shirts become your uniform. Whether it's a grub shirt, formal shirt, Simply Southern shirt or a fraternity's social shirt, you will probably be wearing a (Greek) T-shirt 99 percent of the time.

2. Nothing gets you more excited than a "Tacky Tourist" social or semi-formal.


Want a good laugh? Take a look at a Greek's closet. Greeks live to dress up. Whether it's getting all dressed up for semi or bringing out the camouflage, a Greek's closet is pretty entertaining and full of costumes and nice dresses.

3. You probably spend more time on the Row than anywhere else.

Sorority Row and Fraternity Row are your home away from home. Whether you're hanging out at the house, attending a frat party, or recruiting, you feel totally at home on the Row.

4. Your Big/Little is your life

It's a relationship almost too unique to describe. Your Big is your mentor, your inspiration, and probably your best friend. Your Little is everything you want and need in a friend. You want to instill in her the life lessons and love your Big gave you.

5. You live for events like "Watermelon Bust," "Greek Week," "Homecoming Week."

A little friendly competition never killed anybody! Greek events are so fun! You not only get to do crazy things such as getting on stage and singing and dancing your heart out with your sorority sisters and fraternity brothers, you get to see all the Greeks in your community.

6. You know just about anyone and everyone on campus — Greek or otherwise.

Greek life introduces you to all kinds of people. You all have a common connection: being Greek. Greeks have non-Greek friends, and they hang around and eventually end up knowing like three-fourths of the campus and you have no idea how that happened.

7. You can't imagine a better way to spend the best four (or five) years of your life.

Greek life has consumed you and you wouldn't change a thing about it. You have fallen in love with Greek life and have found a home away from home.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
