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.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
