22 Things A Sorority Will Really Do For You

When making the decision to go Greek, one will hear a few (or all) of the following things: "You'll have so many connections," "All they do is drink and sleep around," "You'll be involved on campus," "You'll get bad grades because you won't have any free time," etc. While some of these accusations may be true, and others definitely false, I can tell you what you will get out of joining a sorority.

1. Endless babysitting opportunities.

2. Too many photo ops to even count.

3. 100+ closets to choose from.

4. Really good food from your cook, house mom, chef, or catering company.

5. An entire dresser full of oversized T-shirts.

6. An obnoxious amount of sorority paraphernalia.

7. Great glutes and quads from "sorority squatting." Goodbye wall-sits!

8. Backup phones if you lose/break yours.

9. Good laughs. All day, every day.

10. Volunteer opportunities.

11. Team-building skills.

12. Roomies for the next four years.

13. Bridesmaids. (Cliché

, I know.)

14. Unlimited rides to and from the bar. (If you're nice!)

15. Study/gym buddies.

16. A lunch/dinner date.

17. Great people skills. Thanks, recruitment!

18. Craftiness.

19. Cocktails/formals, AKA prom, but twice a year, less formal, and 10 times more fun.

20. Themed socials/mixers.

21. Your own personal eBay, minus the shipping/handling costs.

22. Endless smiles, laughs, and memories that will last you a lifetime.

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.
