An Outsider's Perception Of Sororities

Can I have a free t-shirt for writing this?

An Outsider's Perception Of Sororities
woollythreads.com

This week on my campus, sororities had formal fall recruitment. My definition of this: all the girls in sororities wear their sorority stuff all week and other girls (who aren't in sororities but want to be) get all nervous and dressed up and go and meet/talk about all things sorority. Then, by the end of it, hopefully the sorority they wanted to be in wanted them then all is good.

I could be and probably am completely wrong, but we'll go with it.

In my opinion, sororities are a really great thing. I'm not a sorority gal and will probably never be, but my view on it is if you're in a community where you can all relate on similar things and call each other sisters, it should be a kind and healthy environment. Also, you're in a great position to encourage and make an impact on each other.

In addition to all of that--GIRL POWER. I love the idea of a community of girls have a strong sisterhood and friendship without boys. We've grown up all of our lives with boys being around, but here is a chance to be a part of a huge thing without them. Who run the world?

Another reason why I think sororities are great is because so often, we get in with a group of girls, and they turn out to be not who we thought they were. Girls are mean. But I think sororities make the decision together on who to accept into their sisterhood, and I believe they are capable of picking really awesome girls. Sororities have the opportunity to show their sorority family and all their new members that all girls aren't scary and mean.

Sororities have such a great opportunity to be amazing organizations for the girls on college campuses. So to all the Greek Life out there: take advantage of that bond you have with the people in your sororities/fraternities. Really, truly bond as sisters/brothers. Break the stereotypes.

Also, I'm really jealous of all your free t-shirts.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
