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.

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.
