Beginning my year as a freshman, I had no idea what to expect. I was excited to be moving far enough away from home to have my own life, yet close enough to interrupt my parent's lives when need be. One thing I definitely was not expecting was to join a sorority... and to actually like it.

1. The "Snootiness" is Confidence

I'm a big fan of being humble and those who are themselves, but one stereotype I've debunked is the snobbery. Everywhere you are there are just people like that. As a theatre kid in high school, it was the girl who always got the leads cause her mom built all the sets...of course, ignoring the fact that she ironically is in a sorority now...

2. You Buy Your Friends

I mean eh, it's kind of true kind of not. All clubs require members to pay for benefits and to participate. In drama, I paid dues, for sports people pay to play and it's no different here. In this case, you're getting a network of 200+ people you may like, there are still people who won't mesh. But I think it's well worth the price.

3. Too Exclusive

From what I've seen, I don't think this is true...I don't think. Some of the girls in my sorority went through formal rush and didn't get the one they preferred when they went through rush but that was because this one hadn't come to campus. Who knows, maybe they would've chosen and been in the one they are now if it was on campus during rush. It's a system and I feel like there's one that would fit everyone, and if not create your own - and defy the stereotypes!
