Swaps are a quintessential part of life here at the University of Alabama. For those of you that don't know what they are, a swap basically it's a mixer between a sorority and a fraternity that has a certain theme. Being a freshman, swaps have basically defined the start of my Alabama career. There are honestly no words to describe them, so why not use GIFS to help me out?!?
1. When you get the theme email.
We don't know the theme/frat prior to this!! I always immediately text my friends to plan our outfits.
2. When you go Walmart looking for a costume.
You have a week to find the perfect outfit, so I always head straight to Walmart of course.
3. Getting ready with your friends.
I don't have a roommate so my friends always pile up to get ready in my room! It's always SUCH a mess but so much fun!!
4. When Zap asks to take your picture
Did you really go to the swap if you didn't get a zap?
5. Walking into the frat house.
Beyonce ain't got nothin on me and my girls when we walk through the gates.
6. Hitting the dance floor when your jam comes on.
Currently my jam that gets me on the dance floor is Caroline by Aminé.
7. Seeing a cute boy across the room.
The whole purpose of a swap is to meet boys am I right?!?
8. Scarfing down food right after you leave.
Pro tip: Moe's and Quick Grill are the best to go to!
9. Trying to walk home when your feet hurt SO Bad.
I always end up with my heels in my hands.
10. Hearing your alarm go off for your 8 AM.
This is the absolute worst. Freshmen try to get no classes on Friday. Trust me.
Swap season forever am I right?!?
