Maybe you've already signed up for recruitment and are doubting your choice. Maybe you are on the fence about joining a sorority. Joining a sorority can be an emotional time, especially if you're moving away from home. Emotions are high and stress is even higher. But, personally, my college experience would have felt incomplete without joining a sorority. I understand sororities aren't for everyone. But if you are on the fence, here are five reasons why you should.

1. Do it.

If you're hearing stereotypes about one certain organization, chances of it being true are slim to none. Rumors fly fast and can change an organization's entire reputation. Don't let what you're hearing stop you from blocking you could potentially get out of it.

2. Do it.

Joining a sorority isn't just about "paying for friends." It's about surrounding yourself with empowering women. It's these women who are going to shape you and guide you through college. These women are going to be there when you're on top of the world, but also at rock bottom.

3. Do it.

If you're worried about money, some sororities have payment plans. It may seem like a bigger burden than it really is. Most organizations are willing to work with you if you ask for help.

4. Do it.

At the end of the day, a sorority is a tight group of girls. We support each other, through and through. We rely on each other and learn from each other. We grow together, strengthening our bonds as sisters and finding out who we truly are throughout college.

5. Do it.

The women you meet are going to become your best friends and future bridesmaids. These women are loyal to their organization and to you. If you're worried about what other people will think when you join a sorority, are those the people you need in your life?

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Blair Waldorf
Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.
