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?

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
