28 Questions To Ask Yourself Before Trashing Sororities
Delta Phi Epsilon

Time and time again sorority women have their morals and ideals questioned because they are part of a Greek organization. There are no concrete reasons as to why this happens but it does and it is very insulting to each and every one of us. So, the next time you decide to trash a woman because she loves her sorority, I suggest you ask yourself these questions first.

1. Do you even know what a sorority is?

2. Do you want to empower other women?

3. Do you value friendship?

4. Or love?

5. Or family?

6. Can you define “philanthropy”?

7. Actually, when was the last time you did community service?

8. Have you ever wished you had someone to talk to?

9. Can you imagine organizing events for 50 plus women and their guests?

10. Do you know the history behind Greek life?

11. Did you know Carrie Underwood was a sorority woman (Sigma Sigma Sigma)?

12. Or Condoleezza Rice (Alpha Chi Omega)?

13. What about Kate Spade (Kappa Kappa Gamma)?

14. What do you gain from trashing a woman who dedicates her time to improving society?

15. Could you help run an entire organization on your college campus?

16. Would you want an opportunity to earn scholarships?

17. Is your opinion based off a movie?

18. Or outrageous hazing stories (from chapters that have most likely been suspended)?

19. Are you being kind?

20. Do the people you know in a sorority reflect your negative views?

21. Could you devote countless hours to bettering yourself and the community while going to school?

22. Were you scared when you first went to college and nervous you would never find your place?

23. Do you want a connection to thousands of women across the country?

24. Would you benefit from learning leadership skills?

25. Or communication skills?

26. Or social skills in every form there is?

27. Have you ever done any research on sororities and what they actually do?

LASTLY,

28. What did we ever do to you?

Hopefully, these questions will help you realize that we sorority women are not who you think we are. We are devoted to our sisterhood and to empowering other women to become the best they can be. We do everything we can to raise money for our philanthropies and to give a home to women who might have never felt like they belonged. And after all of that what's the harm if we want to take a few cute pictures?

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.
