According to the good ole' reliable Urban Dictionary sorority girls are:
"a female college student belonging to a social sorority. She may or may not live in a sorority house. She will normally be seen wearing Chanel sunglasses, a Northface jacket, and bag representing her sorority's letters. Sorority girls are typically high maintenance and very uppity. Most are white middle and upper middle class girls that are spoiled and extremely materialistic. These bleach blondes are extremely loud and spend most of their time shopping and partying with frat boys."
Some might get mad after reading that, some might be crazy enough to believe it but I just laugh because it couldn't be any more wrong. Believe me when I say if sorority girls were actually like that, I NEVER would've joined a sorority in the first place.
I know it was a shock to many people when I first joined a sorority. I've lost count of the amount of times I heard "but you're not the typical sorority girl" and it's also a big reason you're reading this. I want to show to everyone the reason I joined a sorority; sorority girls are NOT all the same. We aren't all like the ones you see on the news doing inappropriate and stupid things and we are definitely NOT like the sorority girls you've seen in all the movies. With the help of fellow Millersville sorority girls I'm setting out to prove that we are not those stereotypes you've heard about your whole life. I'm not only proud of each and every one of these girls at Millersville University but I'm proud of every sorority sister everywhere who continue to prove the stereotypes wrong every single day.
