10 Ways Being A Girl Scout Destined You To Be A Sorority Girl

Ever wondered why it was a no-brainer for you to join a sorority? Could it be from all the parallels between being a Girl Scout and a sorority girl? Bet you never realized how similar the two organizations are. They are practically Big and Little.

Here are 10 ways that being a Girl Scout destined you to be a sorority girl:

1. You had a troop leader.

This woman was like your house mother or even your Big. She always looked out for your best interests. She guided you through milestones and made sure you were always safe. She was your number one supporter.

2. You wore badges.

Sure, as a Girl Scout, you may have received a plethora of badges from all the activities you've completed and challenges you've faced. As a sorority girl, you traded in your sash of badges for one very expensive badge: your sorority badge.

3. You did philanthropy.

The volunteering never stopped. As a Girl Scout, you could always be found doing community service with senior citizens to running a food drive for the homeless. Shoutout to Kappa Delta who actually has Girl Scouts as their national philanthropy.

4. You had a sisterhood.

A group of girls brought together with one common goal: growth. Some of these girls easily became your best friends and still are today. Just like Girl Scouts, sororities give girls friendships that will last a lifetime.

5. Values, values, values

Girl Scouts and sororities are both value based organizations. Girl Scouts have the values of courage, confidence, and character. Sororities have core values that they practice daily in order to grow as women. Talk about a connection.

6. You traded in your uniform for letters.

You graduated from the sash/smock and now get the honor of wearing the letters of your Greek organization.

7. You went camping.

Ok, so maybe it wasn't full on camping. Maybe it was glamping and it took place in your troop leader's house or backyard. No shame. You were happy as long as you got to bond with your other fellow Girl Scouts. As a sorority girl, you don't necessarily always go camping, but you do go on retreats. These retreats are designated to have sisters bond with one another and even alumnae.

8. You had fundraisers.

You know what time it is! Time to buy Thin Mints, Samoas, Tagalongs, Do-si-dos, and Trefoils galore. Every year, you made it your personal goal to sell more cookies than you did last year. As a sorority girl, the fundraisers are endless. They range from bake sales to even Chipotle fundraisers.

9. You lived for crafting.

You may or may not have been that great at crafting, but at least you gave it your all. Luckily, those early years of crafting prepared you for the real event: Big Little crafts.

10. You had ceremonies.

These ceremonies, like the bridge ceremony, were for a Girl Scout graduating to another level of being a Girl Scout. As a sorority girl, you may not be crossing bridges, but you definitely are having ritual ceremonies.


See the parallels now? It's extremely uncanny how similar the two are. Maybe now it's all starting to make sense that being a Girl Scout truly destined you to join a sorority.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
