We’ve all been there. You’re glancing at your new family, wondering how you never knew you were genetically linked to all these girls you met five minutes ago. In a speed that could only be trumped by ancestry.com, you find yourself with a handful of new relatives from all over the country! I’m talking, of course, about your sisters in your sorority.
You’re looking at your little, a genetic link similar to that of Dr. Evil to Mini-Me in Austin Powers, and you start to wonder if your grand little is even your grand little! The plethora of family members overwhelm you as you start to forget who’s your little and who’s your sister uncle. So, let us delve into the psyche of the Starbucks-filled 20-year-old as we recount these all-too-overwhelming feelings that only a fully legitimate family can induce in a sorority girl.
1. You love giving back to charity (by dancing).
We don't really know how the money appears, but we know it's for the kids. And we totally weren't drunk—I don't know what you're talking about. #FTK #GoLikeMyInsta
2. You always talk about how dysfunctional you all are!
Of all of the sororities, yours seems to have the craziest group of girls! When you pose for pictures, there’s always someone doing something so crazy, like making a weird face when everyone else is smiling! You are all so dysfunctional, OMG.
3. You make sure to wait until a prime Instagram time to post pictures of your food.
Real sisters don’t let other sisters get less than 50 likes on Instagram, even if the food they post is fattening. Don’t worry, it’s nothing that 17 hours on the elliptical can’t solve.
4. You all love dogs.
When you see a dog, all of your sisters sprint straight towards it. Tripping, pushing, shoving—anything’s fair game to be the first to pet the dog, in order to prove that you are the ultimate lover of dogs.
5. You get annoyed when people assume you like Pumpkin Spice Lattes (even though you do).
When the first day of winter approaches, and we all switch from beach Instas with ice coffees to cozy Instas with lattes, you bond with your sisters as you sit near a fireplace and almost forget who’s your little and who’s your sister mother uncle.
6. Your grand little loves sorority shirts almost as much as you love sorority shirts.
They’re big, they have your family letters on them, and did we mention that they’re BIG? There’s nothing that brings a group of girls together like bright shirts that are five sizes too big for them.
7. Your sisterhood can get through anything.
When you hear that one of your sisters is calling you a terrible person, you resolve the issue quickly by telling everyone else that she’s a terrible person. At the end of the day, you all are a family, and you know how to get through anything.
