We're always told to throw what we know!

9 Things That Happen When You Join a Sorority
Kaleigh Shupp

From bid day to big/little week to initiation, pledging a sorority is all sorts of fun, but there are definitely things that happen to everyone when they join whatever sorority they choose.

1. You gain a lot of new Insta followers.

Hello #instafamous!

2. Your calendar is suddenly full.

Whether it’s because of chapter or different events, your calendar is basically never empty

3. You get a lot of stuff during Big/Little Week

Okay, I’m not gonna lie, more than half the stuff I got during big/little week is under my bed waiting to be used next year but it was still fun getting to clean up confetti everyday for a week! (thanks big!!!)

4. People in your sorority start to say hi to you when you go to classes.

It’s kinda awful for me because I have walking bitch face, so if you say hi to me and I just kinda look over it’s not because I don’t like you it’s just my face.

5. Your closet is filled with your sorority’s ~trendy~ clothes.

Honestly, some of it I’ll never wear again but I keep it there, just in case

6. You’re always ‘throwing what you know’ in Instas with your sistas.

I’m totally guilty of this.

7. You learn all the ~secrets~ that come with membership.

To anyone else, it might seem a little scary, but to your sisters, it’s totally normal.

8. You learn all about your fam tree, but you don’t understand it, like at all.

“Okay, so if we’re cousins does that mean our ggbig had twins?”

9. You find your buddies for life.

(I hope my new friends realize that they’re stuck with me!!!)

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.
