10 Ways My Sorority RUINED My Life

In This Article:

Why would anyone want to join a sorority? Here are ten reasons why you should never consider joining one.

My big sister is too inspiring. 

My big sister and I get along so well and it's almost like she is TOO MUCH of a role model. Ugh.

Bid day.

Dancing with sisters, meeting new members, music, food, and fun are integral parts of bid day. So is glitter. Glitter is everywhere, forever.

Living in the house. 

Living in a house with 42 women?! Who would POSSIBLY want to live with so many of their best friends?

Forcing me out of my comfort zone.

Damn this group of empowered women for encouraging growth at the expense of my comfort.

Preparation for the future.

Sororities look terrible on resumes! Holding a leadership position, commitment, teamwork, and networking is basically impossible in such a large group.

Becoming well-rounded.

Intramural sports, study groups, bible studies, and community service events that we do contribute nothing to my attributes as a person.

Friendship.

There are way too many events that encourage friendship and sisterhood.

Having a support system.

Whether I'm frustrated about a test or having more serious problems, there is always a sister willing to talk to me and help me figure things out. They are WAY too helpful.

Exponential resources.

Whether it be food, printing, study rooms, counseling sessions, or anything at all, my sisters are willing to provide for me. Way too many resources to choose from.

Lifelong connections. 

Membership in my organization is for a lifetime, why would I want all of the aforementioned for LIFE?

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
