Joining a sorority has turned out to be a completely different experience than what I originally expected, but it has been such a fun and fulfilling part of my college life. While all chapters are different, here's 20 things all sorority girls know to be true.

1. Google Docs are a much bigger aspect of sorority life than you expected.

2. You’re obsessed with your big, little and whole fam.

3. You have so many sorority shirts, but for some reason you keep buying more.

4. Some of your best friends are in your chapter, but some are also in a different chapter or (gasp) are GDIs.

5. You throw what you know everywhere you go.

Hikes, boats, Disneyland -- anywhere you are, your hand symbol is too.

6. Greek Week is the best week of the school year.

7. You actually really enjoy going to other chapters' philanthropy events.

8. Being serenaded by frats makes chapter meeting so much better.

9. You take a billion photos before every date dash, exchange, four pack and formal.

10. You go all out for themed dances.

11. Recruitment is stressful as hell.

12. You love to craft (or you suck at it and have to enlist your sisters’ help).

13. You practically can read Greek since you know all the letters, anyway.

14. Whenever you’re doing something especially cool you make sure to have it filmed for the recruitment video.

15. You complain about the timing of mandatory events like retreat, but once you get there you have fun.

16. You know that the best way to motivate sorority girls to show up is free snacks.

17. You have your go-to pose for sorority pics (and you can sorority squat with the best of them).

18. You are accustomed to wearing matching outfits with hundreds of girls.

19. You love coincidentally meeting strangers that are in your sorority at other schools or that are alumni.

20. You know you can always count on your sisters when you need them and are blessed to be a part of such a great organization.

OK, sorry the last one got all sentimental. What can I say.
