Well, it's officially finals week, and I can already feel the mass aura of stress beginning to cloud over the school. While everyone starts to fill up libraries, dorm lounges, and dining halls, does anyone wonder what is going on in the sorority houses? Well, I can tell you; there is nothing like going through finals with over sixty other girls living under one roof. All kinds of weird things happen, and then people get sick or they just start falling apart altogether, and you really start to feel what real sisterhood is like. Now, I cannot speak for every sorority, but here are some of the typical things that happen in my sorority during finals season.
1. The whole week before finals is filled with announcements about finals.
For some reason, every week before finals, emails start taking on all sorts of pre-final puns, and every announcement has some kind of reference to finals week. Like, come on, stop, I know it's coming; it's not like it's the apocalypse.
2. Then people just stop going out to parties... well, for the most part.
There is, of course, always that one girl who decides to go out and get shwasty even though she knows she has a final to get ready for within the next couple of days.
3. Then everyone starts coming at you with their problems.
Even though they are your sisters and you love them to pieces, you decide that you have to focus on your own problems and studying for your own finals. So you have to learn how to say no, unless it's a serious issue; then you know you better be there for your sister.
4. Then everyone starts losing their shit, including you.
It just becomes one hot mess of tears.
5. Then everyone starts reevaluating their lives together.
Everyone starts feeling like what they thought they were doing right in life is wrong and all truth comes out. Trust me, you learn a lot about your sisters before and during finals week.
6. Then everyone goes into YOLO mode and starts doing whatever they want.
Because who needs a degree anyway when we can just do weird stuff like dance in the dining room and run around the house in footsie pajamas together?
7. Then things just start to get weirder.
Suddenly, everyone is yelling in the hallway, and people are running around laughing and chasing each other and doing jumping jacks and a variety of other workouts to stay awake. It is really just like we're all at summer camp and all the chaperons have gone AWOL.
8. Then everyone starts staying up really late and cracking out on caffeine.
If things couldn't get any weirder, you add caffeine to the mix, and you've got people doing banana dances and signing classic rock ballads out the windows to people just passing by, as if they didn't think we weren't weird enough already.
9. Then finals actually hit, and everyone starts to realize how much crap they're in.
No more fun and games; things start to become more serious, and everyone cracks down on their studies.
10. Then people start to complain about paper writing and test preparation.
Twenty page papers, in-class essays, and multiple choice exams. Everyone's got them, and everyone's talking about them non-stop, especially when everyone gathers for lunch or dinner. It's almost like when you started college and you had a million people asking you what your major is, only now, they're asking what time your finals are. Really, it just becomes a competition of how sucky your life is compared to others'.
11. Then everyone disappears!
Here you were, all excited to live with all of your closest friends at the beginning of the year, and now, everyone has suddenly vacated the premises. Turns out, they are all either out studying on campus or working with their groups for group projects in the on-campus apartments, and you just end up at home wondering what to do with your life now that everyone is gone, like, actually study. But of course, you're not going to do that.
12. Then everyone starts eating like crazy.
It doesn't matter what it is, it's going to get eaten. Ice cream with french fries and leftover pork chops, yeah, sounds like good eating.
13. And then, in the case of Tri Delta...
Yeah, it's an insider, deal with it.

Good luck on finals, everyone!
