Things Sorority Girls Are Tired Of Hearing

I have been a part of a sorority for almost a year now. I am a proud member of Sigma Sigma Sigma Chapter Pi. In the past year, I've learned that when you tell someone that you are in a sorority, you typically get the same response. Here are some of the things that all sorority girls are tired of hearing.

1. You are just paying for your friends.


This is one of the most frustrating things to hear. Yes, we pay dues to be a part of our organization, but we do not pay for our sisters to be our friends. We personally chose to be in that organization because of the women in it.

2. You’re in “that” sorority?!

Every chapter comes with a reputation, but we love all the women in that chapter and I couldn’t imagine my life without them. Don’t be so quick to judge.

3. Have you ever been hazed?

No! Hazing is something that is taken very seriously. It is illegal for a reason. We would never put our members lives at risk just for entertainment.

4. Why can’t you tell me about initiation?

Ritual is a special part of being in a Greek organization. It is what truly ties you together with your sisters all over the world. It makes your sorority different from all the others.

5. Isn’t it like this?

When you tell someone that you are a member of sorority, they often will immediately try to show you your hand symbol and fail. For the most part, each organization has a different symbol that sets them apart. So, if you don’t know it, don’t throw it.

6. All you do is party, right?

I’m not going to tell you some fairytale story about how there are no parties in Greek life because that would be a lie. As long as you don’t assume that parties are the only reason I joined my sisterhood.

So, next time that a woman of character tells you that she is a part of a sorority, don’t scoff and start in with your frustrating questions. Take a minute and listen to all the wonderful things that come from being a part of a Greek organization.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
