With swap season in full swing, sorority girls along with fraternity boys are pulling out their craziest costumes to celebrate. For those of you who don't know what a swap is, it's an organized social event where a sorority and fraternity are paired up and dress up according to a specified theme. It's basically like a high school dance on steroids. But what makes this time of year so special? Well you've come to the right place to figure out!

1. Wearing fun costumes

No matter what the theme, whether it's "You Are What You Netflix", "Welcome to the Jungle" or just your basic toga party, people go all out, and it's so fun to see what other people come up with.

2. Meeting new people

Especially when your chapter is as large as mine, it can be hard and intimidating to meet every single member. Swaps are a great way to meet and bond with your sisters on the dance floor, and you also get to meet some fraternity boys.

3. It's like a date party, but without the date

Perhaps the most stressful part of sorority life is finding dates to all of the formals and date parties. The great part about a swap is that you don't have to find a date to go! You just show up with your friends and don't have to worry about what your date is wearing.

4. Dancing!!

What better way to practice your new dance moves than surrounded by your sorority sisters! This is a no-judgement zone where all dancing abilities are accepted.

5. A Good excuse to go out in the middle of the week

College is all about balancing academic and social life (oh and sleep of course). When swap season comes around, it's a nice excuse to take a break from school and go out with your friends without having to actually plan something.

6. The fun t-shirts

Is it really a Greek life event without a t-shirt involved? My closet it filled with t-shirts from the various swaps I've attended, and I can't wait to add to my collection this year.

So everyone get out there and enjoy swap season!
