9 Stereotypes About Sorority Girls

Being in a sorority can be challenging with all the different stereotypes. Most people assume all sorority girls do in college is get drunk and party. Being apart of a Greek organization like a sorority is so much more than getting drunk and partying, it's a bond that you have with all the other sororities and fraternities. We're there for each other and hold each other accountable around campus. These are a few of the stereotypes we hear when we say "I'm greek."

1) "You're paying for your friends"

This is FALSE. Yes, I pay dues to my organization monthly but that's so we can do fun things like sisterhood events and it's also to take care of our house.

2) "Sorority girls are dumb"

Some of you may not be aware but each house has a different GPA they have to obtain every semester. If we don't reach this goal as a whole our chapter will be put on social probation (which means we can't have swaps, formals, etc.). If the house reaches their required GPA but as an individual you don't you'll be put on probation alone and not get to attend anything.

3) "All sorority girls do is party"

Again this is a false statement. Being in a sorority is so much more than partying, most of us are very passionate about our philanthropy and try to live out our purpose. Don't get me wrong, we do go out but it isn't every weekend or every night like some people assume. We also care about our grades so for some of us "Thirsty Thursday" isn't an option.

4) "But don't they haze you?"

No, we do not get hazed, hazing is taken very serious and if you even feel a little threatened you tell someone and the problem is confronted immediately. You also sign a contract that says the sorority can't haze you.

5) "All sorority girls are girly"

Most chapters have a variety of unique girls. There are different girls in every sorority thats's what makes them unique. Imagine having 80 other people just like you in one house...how boring would that be?

6) "Sorority girls have everything handed to them"

No no no, if you think this you'll be surprised to hear that most sorority girls have jobs and Daddy doesn't pay for it. Shocker right?

7) "Sorority girls only date Frat guys"

Most of the girls in our chapter have boyfriends that aren't in a fraternity. Now frat boys can be very cute and tempting but most of the time they're trouble. All the girls I know would rather date a boy not in a Fraternity and be treated right then wind up being cheated on because he got too drunk at a party. P.S. still love frat guys they make great friends and dates most of the time but that's it.

8) "Sorority girls always have to look their best"

We do like to look our best most of the time, but going to class I can promise you we all look homeless. Wearing our letters is a big deal because we worked hard to get to that point so no we don't want to look trashy when we're in letters; but going to class you can find us wearing Norts, over sized t-shirts and our hair in a messy pony tail.

9) "Sorority girls only talk to their sisters"

We do talk to our sisters and hang out with them a lot but we're also friends with girls from different sororities too. I mean, who doesn't love Pan love?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
