20 Things You Need To Know Before Joining A Sorority
Maddy Petty

1. There will not be enough hours in the day to do the things you need to complete.

Say goodbye to sleep, it's not that important.

2. You will, without a doubt, hit a wall of exhaustion that you never thought was possible to hit.

You're not alone though, and you will learn to find good times for naps.

3. 90 percent of your life will be spent having absolutely no idea what you're doing.

...And you'll oddly become okay with it.

4. You will become the most social person you have ever known in your entire life.

Smiling will be your new hobby.

5. Meetings will become a regular part of your life.

It's okay to have a love/hate relationship with them.

6. Your Instagram followers/likes and Facebook friends will increase greatly overnight.

7. You will be forced to learn how to balance school, sleep, and social activities extremely well and extremely fast.

8. Dance parties will become a common thing and most likely also your new favorite thing.

It's also necessary to sweat while you're having one, or that means your not dancing hard enough.

9. You will learn to love coffee more than life itself.

10. You will suddenly have 100+ friends that make life way better than you could've ever imagined.

11. You will spend 99 percent of the time that you are with your friends laughing.

12. You will become that mushy-gushy person you always made fun of when you first came to college when it comes to talking about your new member class.

13. You will quickly realize that your new friends will also be your new accountability partners.

14. One of your new favorite things about being in a sorority will be being able to grow in your faith surrounded by people who love you as much as you love them.

15. You will love your NMC and sorority as a whole more than you love your bed (which is a lot).

16. You thought you were broke before rush? Oh, just wait.

17. Everything you own will become consumed by your new sorority clothes/accessories.

How many t-shirts is too many? The limit does not exist.

18. Your phone will never stay charged because of your new NMC GroupMe that everyone lovingly uses.

19. You will feel more loved than you have ever felt in a group before.

20. You will find your home and where God has planned for you to be. What's better than that?

The best decision I have ever made was to join a sorority. And I am so grateful for everyday I get to be apart of such an amazing group of girls who I have gotten to know so well in only two weeks. Investing myself with awesome people who are also sleep deprived and always up for a dance off at any time of the day or night is the way I want to spend my time. So here's to making new friends!

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.
