5 Things That Happen When You Join A Sorority
Elizabeth Ashford

When you join a sorority everything happens so fast. Within a matter of seconds you suddenly are bonded with a group of women whom you now call your "sisters." Some of them you might not have even met before. Getting a bid is just the beginning when it comes to joining a sorority.

1. You instantly have friends

Sometimes it's hard making new friends. People can be scary and seem really unapproachable. Well, that all goes away when you join a sorority. Suddenly you have sisters in your classes, sisters who want to go to lunch or dinner with you, and even those brave sisters who become your new workout partners.

2. Instagram Likes

No matter what you post on Instagram, your sisters will always like it. When you post a selfie, you can always count on them to comment and tell you how hot you are. Your sisters are always there when you need a little confidence boost.

3. Your t-shirt game gets SUPER strong

Sorority girls love t-shirts. There is a t-shirt for every event and it's the greatest thing, ever! Suddenly you have a t-shirt for every day of the week. This makes getting dressed for classes so incredibly easy. I mean, who doesn't love an excessive amount of t-shirts?

4. You get involved with things on campus

Often times, people don't join clubs because they don't know anyone in the clubs. When you join a sorority you're bound to have one sister in the club you want to join, or a sister who would want to join with you. The more your sisters are involved, the more involved you suddenly start to become.

5. You find your home away from home

It's hard adapting to college life. You don't know anyone, you're in a new place without you're family and you're constantly being tested both mentally and emotionally. When you join your sorority, you find your home; your new family. It's the most liberating feeling ever. To be accepted in a strange place where everyone is just trying to make it in the real world, is the greatest feeling ever. Your sorority sisters become your support system, your heroes and your biggest fans.

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.
