23 Signs You're An Awkward Sorority Girl

Being a member of a sorority is a great experience to have during your college years. It begins with a struggle through one week of hell searching for your perfect chapter, a hell-week that is ultimately worth it once the heavenly bid-day comes around and you run to your new sorority house filled with tons of jumping girls excited to meet you. Joining a sorority truly does give you a home away from home.

Among this home, there are two types of girls. There are the girls who are perfectly fit for it, the ones who were clearly born to grow up and join a sorority. And then there are the other girls, the ones who don’t quite fit into the sorority lifestyle as well as the others. While these girls may not have been born to grow up and go Greek, every chapter has a place for them anyway. Here are 23 signs you’re one of those awkward sorority girls.


1. You don’t have a Pinterest account. 

2. You would choose a burger over froyo. 

3. You have whiskey/beer nights instead of wine nights. 

4. While getting a spot in the house appears to be a battle until death for most girls, the thought of living in your sorority house gives you something close to an anxiety attack. You need your space. 

5. You’ve never monogrammed anything. 

6. If you ever received a gift of something monogrammed, you ended up sticking it in a corner and never thinking about it again. 

7. Although you’re proud of your letters, you don’t have them up on display in your bedroom. 

8. You can’t put letters on the back of your car because your indecent driving skills could put your sorority’s image at risk. 

9. Your Instagram account lacks any pictures of you throwing up your sorority hand sign because you feel goofy doing it. 

10. You definitely haven’t mastered the sorority squat or the skinny arm. 

11. You can’t fathom how one has the ability to take a successful candid picture. 

12. Whenever you attempt to take a cute, candid picture, you only end up looking candidly constipated.

13. Your picture-taking abilities are almost as horrendous as your crafting abilities. 

14. You’re extremely thankful for your little because she still loves you in spite of the tragic, handmade gifts she received during big/little week. 

15. You have an utmost respect for the girls who organize everything because you know your chapter would be in shambles if someone put you in charge.

16. You’re in the small percentage of girls who aren’t crying on Pref day. It’s not that you don’t love your sisters; it’s just that you’re not much of a “cry out of happiness” kinda gal. 

17. As much as you wish you could wake up early enough to look good for class, you know that looking shitty is worth the extra minutes in bed. 

18. You roll your eyes when a guy asks what sorority you’re in. 

19. Creating a pic-stitch feels like hard labor.

20. You’re jealous of how put-together the girls in your sorority always appear to be. 

21. You’re also jealous of how many likes the girls in your sorority get on their Facebook and Instagram pictures. 

22. Punctuality is not your strong point. 

23. Last, but not least, you couldn’t be happier to have found the perfect chapter for you. Despite the 22 qualities above, your sorority sisters still love you and accept you for who you are.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
