To start, I would like to say that everyone has their own person sense of style and they should own it and love it. Personally, I love shopping and fashion. Although I don't get to shop often, I am the girl who will spend hours one Saturday a month going from store to store (as in Ross, Target, Macy's sales, etc. but still- I find some great deals and the cutest clothes).
I spend my days at school in leggings and t-shirts, but unless one sees me in my letters, they might not look at me and think I'm in a sorority. It's because society believes you have to "look" a certain way to be a "sorority girl". I have seen plenty of articles in favor of and against sororities, but recently, I saw an article that claimed sorority girls have no sense of style. I encourage you all to take a glance at that article and see the items listed. The most baffling part of the article is that the woman bashing sorority women for certain clothing items wears the exact same items.
So, here are 6 reasons why sorority women do have their own unique sense of style, contrary to popular belief.
1. They wear their letters with pride.
No matter where they are, they take pride in the letters ironed on across their chest.
2. They don't always need makeup to feel beautiful.
One of the greatest things my sisterhood has taught me is that I don't need to wear makeup to feel beautiful. I feel just as beautiful without makeup on as I do with it.
3. Themed events

You will never encounter anyone more creative than a sorority girl right before a themed social event. She can thrift, find a costume faster than you can blink, or throw together a couple of things in her closet like nobody's business.
4. Sometimes, they match.

There is nothing more exciting than wearing your favorite sorority t-shirt on campus and running into a sister who's wearing the same one. It lights your face up and makes your day. There's also nothing like walking into your house during recruitment and seeing everyone matching. It makes for some really precious photos and you create memories that will last forever. It's also a unique way to show unity.
5. Some of them wear designer and it's no big deal.
Some sorority women do wear designer clothes or own designer items. *gasp* But just because they do doesn't mean they are "rich", "spoiled", or "entitled". For instance, I am a working sorority woman, but I have a lot of Vera Bradley items because my family knows I love the brand and that's what I get for all of my birthdays and holidays. I pay all of my own bills and just because I own something doesn't mean that I am not a typical struggling college student.
6. They are confident.
No matter what they wear, sorority women are confident. They can strut in a beautiful evening gown for formal, walk into class with a messy bun and oversized shirt or match with their sisters during recruitment and still be as stylish as ever. So what if they keep up with the latest fashion trends or even start ones of their own? It's time to stop tearing down women for the clothes they wear.
To all the stylish sorority girls in my life, keep doing what you do.
